    Some pretty nice stuff for sale to soup it up with. New exhaust, new carb (or injectors), new engine management, bigger inlets etc. Ive seen those machines go 150 km/h an hour

    the reason noone wants a 2nd-hand moped is that your average bike has been skited across a mini-roundabout at least twice, not to mention all that caning the engine to get anywhere quick.. do people even service them??

    Ok mebbe that also goes for my car... :lol:

    Cars are only fun if you cane them...

    Well, it's the only option to shift if they're small and slow cars.

    50cc that will hurt you badly unless you de-restrict it, my scooter does 60mph and thats not fast enough. Don't listen to the people that put scooter riders down I got mine for travelling to work it means I get an extra 25 mins in bed in the morning and normally get home 20 mins earlier (has saved me upto 1 hr a few times) and that soon adds up. Also in the summer it's nice to drive down the country lanes. I looked at the NRG but they didn't do a 125cc version so I got a speedfight 100cc.
    Enjoy you riding but you picked the wrong time of the year as its only going to get colder.

    On the contrary, I think his timing is good. It's the middle of winter, no ****er wants to ride at this time of year so dealers slash prices to entice people in. I bought both my bikes in December, saved nearly a grand on the july prices, saved nearly £130 on a leather jacket alone... :eeek:

    Mine does 35 on the flat and 55 down hill. Yes its slow but it is safe. I intend to get it de-restriced though, or do it my self. I would be very happy with 40-45 on the flat.

    Well I was thinking that it was the best time of year, as I will experience the crap weather, and become confident, while the summer riders will end up crashing 'cos they think they know it all.

    Its supprisingly warm on a scoot actually, except you get freezing nads, but ehh.
