I compleatly agree with you on this coz all i get on my post are people correcting my spellings ,or people with there head deep in there own arse and there is no need for it .as all we are looking for is knowledge .with the exeption of a small minority of helpfull people .I had many of my 50s hitting 60/65 wen was youger ime sure you can get your derbi doing that sort of speed | Oooh, I did that, to you. .

Right, and us picky spackers who feel the overwhelming urge to correct you have "autism spectrum disorder". Everyone's Special these days.
It's a reasonable assumption that the OP is just the usual 16 year old pedboi until proven otherwise.
OP, assuming that you're still reading, don't waste your money on a ped, save up for either:
1) Passing your tests ASAP if you turn 17 before January 19th 2013.
2) If you miss that date and get stuck on a 125 until you're 19, buy the best one you can afford (which I expect will be an RS125 which you'll then derestrict to do 300mph innit). ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

But you can afford to pour good money after bad, ragging the nuts off of a ped until you shag it out and reduce it to "spares or repair", while making false declarations to your insurer?
Peds are for 16 year olds who can't ride anything bigger, and people with disposable income to spend on them purely to have a laugh. You though have a 316 day window of opportunity to get yourself a proper license on a 125 before the new test regime comes in and stuffs you up big style. If you're short on money then it's even more important that you focus on getting that done.
It's entirely your choice, but don't expect or demand that anyone help you screw yourself over by pimping your ped. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Good point, im actually 17 so it would be perfectly legal to ride it on my licence.
i would have got a 125 but i simply cant afford one |
No.
If the bike is REGISTERED as a moped, then must conform to the C&U regs for a MOPED, which means that unless it has Grandad rights from being built before 1977, it cannot exceed 35mph.
If it CAN, then it is NOT a moped.
OK, so it's not a moped, its a motorcycle.... & you have a motorcycle licence.... or at least provisional entitlement...... and at 8bhp and 50cc, its under the 125cc/14.5bhp learner legal restrictions...
Therefore, IF it was registered as a motorcycle, you could legally ride it on a your motorcycle Learner-Licence.
However, if it is NOT VOSA inspected and re-registered under nee vehicle classification as a MOTORCYCLE....
Doesn't matter WHAT licence entitlement you have, bike is 'Other than described on Registration Document'.
FIRST OFFENCE; doesn't matter whether the frame and engine numbers match, whether the badge on the tank is the declared manufacturer; log book, says its a MOPED, and bike is a motorcycle.
THEN you have any consequential offenses; Is the thing insured? If so WHAT has been insured?
RTA says that if they issue an insurance cert against the registration, then you are legally insured, even though you might have obtained that insurance fraudulantly.
BUT; if the bike isn't as described on the registration; then, in actual fact, you wont have insurance, becouse the insurance is for the bike registered.... and bike is NOT as described on the registration.
See where we are going with this?
Its nothing to do with your age or what licence entitlement you may have; its down to what the log book says.
And the UNFORTUNATE thing is, that a 'Moped' is a completely different catagory of vehicle to a motorcycle, and while mechanically the difference, is only how much power the machine has, and how fast it might go.... it's still a different set of Construction & Use regs, and registration criteria.
Eg: C&U regs for a moped, do not demand full compliment of equipment like indicators; for a motorcycle they do; Likewise MOT, tyres on a motorcycle must have minimum of 1mm tread; a moped merely has to have 'visible' tread. C&U regs for motorcycles demand speed rated sand approved tyres; for a moped, they dont.
Your MOPED might meet a lot of the C&U & MOT regs for a motorcycle... BUT, it hasn't been registered or MOT'd as a motorcycle, its been registered & MOT'd as a MOPED, with lesser standards applied.
So doesn't matter about licence entitlement; its what it says on the log book.
Meanwhile; costs dont work. To ride it, de-restricted needs it VOSA inspected and re-registered against motorcycle regs... cost of THAT makes it cheaper to simply sell on the moped and buy a motorbike.
Riding De-Restricted moped, still registered as a moped is breaking as many laws, as said as slapping moped number-plate on a Hyabusa, WHATEVER licence you might have, WHATEVER age you may be.
It is 'Other than Described on the Registration' ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

Usher4566 wrote: | I thought a moped ,scooter ,and motocycle are all different ? Doesn't a moped have pedals ? |
Moped:
Pre 1977 regulations required an engine less than 50cc, and the ability to be propelled by pedals.
In response to the regulation beating 'sports' mopeds of the era from 1973, when 16 year olds were limited to a moped licence; like the Yamaha FSIE; the regs were changed and from 1977 onwards, dropped the requirement for pedals, but imposed a 3.5bhp power limit and strict 35mph top speed limit, with the 50cc capacity cieling.
Subsequently the 35mph speed limit has been 'metricised' down.
Scooter
There is no strict definition of a scooter. The term was taken from the childrens 'Scoot-along' toy; that has two wheels and a foot-plate, but no seat or pedals, upon which early powered scooters were based, and later to 'step-through' framed type sit down motorcycles, as pioneered by Vespa & Lambretta, in the 1950's.
Vespa suggested that the distinguising feature of a 'scooter' was the engine being 'unsprung' and 'in unit' with the rear suspension. This however disqualifies an awful lot of scooters, including those with no suspension or seat, that are probably more deservant of the name. Would make the Gilera Runner a scooter though.
Term therfore describes a 'style' of powered two wheeler, in a similar manner to 'Cruiser' or 'Advanture-Sport', and is about as ambigiouse.
Motorcycle
Basically any powered two (& in law, actually many 3) wheel vehicle that ISN'T a 'moped'.
Transmission type; ie twist & go or geared, has little relevence to defanitions of vehicle type, or in riding law, other than where licences may be 'endorsed' 'Automatic Only' if tests were passed on a machine without manually selectable gears.
Many pedal-equiped 'mopeds' had manual gears; and not just the regulation beating 'sports' mopeds. I had a step-through framed 'pedal & pop' Moto-Guzzi moped that had 3 gears, selected like a Vespa via a twist-grip change. Meanwhile, 'twist and go' machines may have a single fixed speed and automatic centrifugal clutch, or a fully variable 'variator' transmission, the final drive ratio altered by a stepless pulley belt system.
So no, a moped doesn't need to have pedals. ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!
