Boothy Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Hi. Am thinking about gettin a motorbike for my 16th birthday soon.

Lawnmowerman Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 How old are you? if you can get a 125 geared bike go for a tw125. Theyre great and theyve got a huuuuuuuge rear tyre. hehe :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted August 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Cant get a 125 at 16, you can only have a 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai the Socket Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 I might suggest the Derbi Senda. They're pretty cool bikes. Look like Enduro's. 50cc, and they've 6-speed manual. Top speeds of 65-70 when de-restricted. Lower when not, obviously. I don't know loads about 'em but I'd suggest you look into them. Rs50's look nice but insurance is about £600 per year on one from quotes I got when looking at one. Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
