The AR 50 was a 49 cc two-stroke moped from Kawasaki's AR range, with a disc-valve engine, monoshock swingarm rear and cast five-spoke wheels. It came in an original sport-tail 'A' style and a later 'C' style with a sports handlebar fairing, with the changes mostly cosmetic. Production ran from 1981 into the mid-1990s, depending on the market.
