2009 AJS Exactly 50 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in AJS's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2009 AJS Exactly 50 features a 40 cc (2.4 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 2.5 HP (1.9 kW) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.0 x 39.2 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches).

On the scales, the Exactly 50 measures 87 kg (192 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,290 mm (50.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4.7-liter (1.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
