anyway, soz about the little moan earlier lol. Back to the original topic, Your bike has scrubbed up real nice shame about the speed and sound tho
I reckon we should form a new identitie to differentiate us decent bikers from.. people who aren't, they give us a bad name ____________________ **WSB 2003 SR50 DITECH**

Give the guy a break.
In my opinion its a sweet looking bike, and I guarantee he'll be riding something with alot more power when he comes of age ! At the moment I reckon hes got the nicest bike available to someone his age, and hes gaining some modding experience into the bargain |

So you are saying your ped sounds better than my bike, ok m8, its your personal opinion but i do reccomend you get your ears tested.
Ill make a sound clip around december time.
And about the shite acceleration, what do you expect, its a 50cc moped. But it will beat all scooters, and just after christmas it will Obliterate all scooters.
Demonic69 - I though it was a bargain too, some 40yo man who wanted to get into biking bought it from new, then he rode it for 2 years and got a bigger bike but never got round to selling this one, thats why the milage is that low. Its got all the service documents and MOT documents with it too. It was well worth the 2hour drive IMO. |
If your RS50 can beat all scooters, then you can have my ZXR400.
Infact if it beats my Piaggio Zip I'd give you my ZXR and my dads GSXR. Don't get cocky towards scooters, they ain't all slow and one will embarass you one day. ____________________ Ducati 600SS

I wouldn't want your shit zxr anyway, multi coloured and fugly.
You know what i meant, i meant 50/70cc scooters not some 180cc thing.
I'll get as cocky as i want as i've not yet been embarrassed by a twist n twat, and even if one does ever beat me, i couldn't really give 2 shits
The odds are up for me as i've beaten around 8 scooter and i've been on the road 3 months.
(If anyone thinks i'm being a bit spiteful, it's because i am, and dislike kye) |

This thread is really good, ped boi's throwing their toys out their prams whilst argueing about who is fastest.
Please carry on, this thread can only get better as it continues.
And to help keep it going, Dom, your ped is slow, of course there are lots of other 50cc's which could easily beat it. No one is impressed. |

haha you lot are a joke.
I know my rs isn't the fastest 50cc, or the fastest 70cc. TBH i don't really care if it's the /fastest/ because it does the job i want it too. It has also pissed over every 50cc ped i have raced, which i am happy with.
Kye - Yes i do own a geared moped, and i do dislike automatics, but i never said i was 'above' them. I don't 'go on about' how i can beat EVERYONE - where the hell did you get this idea from??
So what if i said i could obliterate all scooters?? There is faster scooters than my bike, but i've not come across any yet. So i stand by my statement, obviousl;y meaning street use 50/70cc ones.
Quote: | And to help keep it going, Dom, your ped is slow, of course there are lots of other 50cc's which could easily beat it. No one is impressed. |
Compare my ped to anything above 125cc and yes is it piss poor slow. Compare my ped to a 50cc scooter and it is fast.
Yes there are other 50cc bikes/peds that could beat it, i dont deny it, so what is your point??
I aim to impress no-one, and if you do not like my bike or what i have done to it, then fuck off out of this thread.
Oh and ste, at least i have a bike.

Good for you.
Quote: | You may be only 16 so can't legally ride a bigger bike but doesn't that also mean you can't fit that bore kit as well? For the price of that bike and kit you could have a late 80's GSXR750 that would piss on your little 50, oh sorry 72.5. If your gonna break the law do it properley or you scared of the parents finding out you little rebel you. |
a gsxr750 will piss on my rs50?? Really?? Honestly???
I'm not aiming to brake the law, i want my rs50 to go a little faster.
If your going to cry about my rs being illegal, you may as well moan at every other 16 year old with a de-restricted bike, same goes for 17 year olds too who are still on a cbt. |

Thats a good looking RS50 Dom and a very good price too.
Basically some prefer a scooter at 16 and some prefer a geared bike, there is no "geared bikes are faster" rule. But a higher speed isnt generally the reason why people get them. Scooters are quick, and are very easy to get up to speed. But the fact is they use very similar engines so the power is oviously going to be very similar. Who really cares if it is faster than a scooter? The difference would be minimal and practically it will get you where you want to be a few seconds faster.
Dom, you have a 70 kit in your bike? It isnt really something I would do, I think it is a waste of money (its your money however) and there isnt going to be that much benefit from it, its also very risky. Speed isnt important to me at the minute, I am just learning and want something that will get me around which I will enjoy riding, teach me something and most importantly be reliable (which it most certainly is not at the moment )
Some will disagree but I think scooters are boring to ride, I would much rather be having to actually do something while I am riding, but then again some think its pointless. I have the intention of getting a bigger bike at a later point so why not learn to ride now?
The people who SHOULD be labelled as "chavs" are the ones that jeopardize others safety on the roads by riding stupidly, give others a bad name and waste there time "racing" their hairdryers..
Im not having a go at you Dom, I also own a geared moped
and probably agree with some of your opinions on scooters, but as long as you enjoy your bike and make good use of it then who cares what other peoples opinions are?

Totally agree with you mate, apart from the similar engines, but that’s another discussion I cannot be bothered with, lol. I care if it is faster than a scooter, it’s not the fact I want to get where I’m going quicker, it’s the fact I love speed and really getting involved when riding which is something I just cannot do on a scooter.

Yup agree with you again, many see it as a waste of money, many do not, lol. It’s usually the people without them that see it as a waste and the people that with them don’t. The power gain might not be that much on the whole, but it’s 50% more than standard, which is a hell of a lot. This bike is only really for learning on and which gets me around, but I love riding along country roads too, which is where I need more power as I could basically go flat out when it was standard and not have to use the brakes as most corners are takeable it 60ish. (my bike also needs to be reliable ) Also, I’m laughing at the fact you referred to my rs50 as a bike, as Ste says most people recognise it as a moped.

Very true

I agree, but the only safety I jeopardize is my own. I don’t particularly go around looking for ‘races’ but if a scooter should pull up next to me revving the bollocks off it, I will ‘give it some’

What moped do you own?
I don’t care about other peoples opinions as long as they aren’t rude about expressing them. |

Taken from the first line in the first link: Quote: | I know my rs isn't the fastest 50cc, or the fastest 70cc. |
It was rated abusive because because i offended poor old Kye, and zxr400er must have thought i was on about zxr's in general when i said 'your shit zxr'
So where has your argument gone old boy? |
