Funny, I never saw these in a Suzuki dealership, or someone riding one out in the real world- until recently, where there are always a few that show up at vintage meets.

Many years ago I made a deal on a used RV-90 and both of my kids subsequently learned to ride on it. Both are still avid motorcylclists to this day. Not a great motorcycle by any stretch but it managed to make some great memories...
imagine it metal flake paint then reapply stock decals. then everything either polished aluminum or chromed. the seat could get tuck-n-roll with big fat rolls to match the fat tire theme. chrome everything even the foot pegs. chrome the swing arm and rear sprocket, forks and go nuts. don't chrome the pipe though, show some restraint FFS.
It sold as the VanVan in some European countries in the early 70s, in 49cc, 40 Kmh-restricted form for 16-18 yr olds. I guess is was appealing to those for whom the ST50 Honda Dax was not different enough.

The fat tire type definitely has a following, Suzuki still sells a version of the bike, now it's called the the VanVan.
