Another 75cc's and some gears

[Token]

Don't forget your 2 stroke oil.

[Pashley26]

And a bag to go over your head...

You should be able to get on the road for £500-£600

If your going to get a 50, get a Yamha FS1E. There Pedal powered so the "Moped Law" aplies so you can bore em up to 75cc. You can even put Yb100 barrels on them and it's still legal

Moped means Motor - Pedels.

SO HAVE SUMMA THAT !!!!

You will need:

Provisional Drivers Licence

CBT Certificate

A Moped

Insurence

TAX

MOT - if the bike is over 3 years old

Helmet

Advise:

Gloves - Proper motorbike ones not moutain bike ones

Decent weather proof Jacket, Preferably Motorbike Type

Waterproof trousers - You legs WILL get soaked in any sort of rain or mist

Simple rules of 'pedding are

Dont sit right forward on it, you look like a fanny

Dont sit with your feet on the rear pegs, you look like a fanny

Dont remove the rear veiw mirrors, See above

Its a means of transport, there is no way in hell to look cool on a moped, so dont try, See above

Never sit sit at lights plibbing the throttle, or throttleing on and off to make it sound like you have gears, you look like a complete fanny

Dont bother modifying it, if you want to waste money that badly feed the homless, or take up origamo with 20's

(damn you filters - exchange the word Fanny for the more offecnive C-nt word)

If your going to get a 50, get a Yamha FS1E.

I'd highly doubt that, to get a good condition fizzy you'd be looking at £2k plus.

If you want to get on the road with a decent condition ped (I reccomend buy it standard), then plus the insurance, equipment and everything else, you'd need around £1500.

I baught my one (a mint kenny roberts colours 75 FS1E) off ebay for £500.

And £1500's a bit high isn't it ??? You can buy a brand new Japanese jobby for £400

Thats not a bad deal on the FS1E mate.

And £1500's a bit high isn't it ??? You can buy a brand new Japanese Chinese jobby for £400

Your talking Chinese, and mainly 4 stroke.

My mate had one, last him for a few months.

Chinese peds and motorbike are not really the way to go, the prices on them are low for a reason, the build quality on them is terrible.

In fact, the mopeds are pretty much a scaled version of a Minimoto, the frames can't hold up for crap.

Sonny put it perfect, £300 would get you a right banger of a ped.

I know of people who pay £300 for a ped, but the amount of work needs doing to them its unreal, and generally the people run them like it, my mate bought one cheap and went without a rear brake and speedo for a couple of months.

You can get a decent ped for £300 definatly, eg. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=118354 Will sell that for £300 if anyone is interested?

your so wrong about the 300 quid thing, as a general rule to an extent the rougher the ped the better it is. usually mint looking peds which are a couple of years old are only mint because they never run when they should do.

300 should get you something reliable even if it looks rough as badgers arseholes.

[Token]

But your buying a 2 stroke engine, that rev around to 16,000rpm for the whole of its life. Buying one that's totally de-restricted an 6 years old is like buying an 70 year old fat prostitute.

I wouldn't call them reliable, I can see past all the cosmetics to the bike, why else would someone sell for that price?

Most the time you see bikes at that price because they have been tuned (and usually the farings are a mess), in all honesty its like with cars, the best way to sell is if it is standard, as no-one knows how much it has been screwed about with in the tuning process.

They wont rev that high, as the cranks wont handle it. would have to have a seriously tuned ped to reach that rpm without detonation and melting of the piston. 2 strokes are fine aslong as they are serviced every couple of thousand miles or if you have suspicions that something isnt normal.

Sorry my mistake, I remember back in my scooter days getting the needle off the dial on the revometer on my NRG which appears to be approx 13,000rpm.

Just wondering, why do you never see 2 stroke 50cc scooters with more than 15,000miles? I've seen a few for sale with 'seized engines' so do they just die?

My guess would be that the majority of 16/17 year old owners don't look after them properly. To be fair if I had one I'd just rag the nuts off it and then sell it on.

I wouldn't have one though lol
