They are identical to the motohispania (?) rx50 (same engine, body work, wheels, brakes, basically everything Rolling Eyes ). So just look for reviews on them and it should give you a good idea.

because peugeot and motorhispania are the same company.
If you look at the Motorhispania Furia and the Peugeot XPS trail, you'll see.
As for information on the XR6, https://www.nxgn-ltd.com/ezweblite/PUBLIC/STYLES/peugeot/sp.asp?BIKE=40
theres the spec

Personally, i wouldn't think of spending that much on a 50cc sports, after all, your guaranteed to fall off it at some point (especially if your a new rider)

i own the same bike, and having alot of trouble with it Sad, still, ive heard alot of good stuff about them, (peugeot XR6 man)i think its just me...........
off the peugeot site road reviews:
"Yes, it’s a moped. But no, it’s not ‘just’ a moped. Peugeot’s new XR-6 is as much a pure sports bike as any CBR or GSX-R – it’s just a bit smaller, that’s all. And a bit slower, obviously, but not as slow as you might think"
"Once out of town and onto some country lanes, it easily got itself up to an indicated 50mph, and it could hold that up hill and down thanks to fairly low gearing. Too low in fact – on the flat it was easy to rev it another couple of thousand past the ten grand redline and way off the top of the 50mph speedo, which doesn’t bode well for reliability in the hands of speed crazed sixteeners – taller gearing would be better."
sadly, my Xr6 does about 15 mph flat out uphill......i bet the shop messed about with it before they gave it me "i brought it brand new".

Laughing Bollocks. Thats just salesman speak.

(No offense mate, not laughing at you, but, bollocks)

600's plus cannot be compared to XR-6's or any other ped. They maybe good to learn on but that's it!

they are a nice looking bike especially in red and silver. i saw one today infact at the dealer but with a price of 2 and a half grand its too expensive in my eyes to spend on a 50cc which u may only use for a year. There is no way you could ride a restricted geared 50 though you would have to be illegal and derestrict it if you were 16. If you are 17 you might as wel buy a 125 for the same price.

Do a search here on BCF - there was another member who was about to get one, so perhaps he could help you out.

=This quote is a typical symptom of a person with miniature, probably microscopic genitals.

"Sporting" is not about the size of the engine.
50cc bikes are raced all over the world. Until the 70s there was a world GP series for 50's.
Honda learnt all about building high revving four-strokes on 50s, with 10 gear twin cylinder DOHC 50cc GP bikes revving to over 20,000rpm. They clocked speeds over 100mph on bikes weighing less than 70kg.
Any fool can hit 100mph on a 600. It takes an incredible amount of skill to engineer that out of 50cc engine. That skill is so well respected that honda released a track-only race replica of the RC111 for this year

If you understand bikes, you should appreciate lightweight and ultra-lightweight machines. If not get a car, they can have way bigger engines than bikes Karma

Talk to a peugeot bike dealer, my friend inquired about one, turned out very expensive, about £3'800 all together.

50cc racing? See that in my high street all the time Laughing

Didn't know that actually happened...sounds dull..

(someone post a link for this, I've never heard of this)

And yes it would take skill to get 100mph out a 50cc ped engine Laughing

Got no problem with learners on 50's at all! Just saying don't compare them with 600 + thats all. Don't believe the hype. Salesmen will say anything as will manufacures. Their trying to sell bikes/peds.

Chill for f*cks sake... Rolling Eyes

I know there refering to position, attitude etc but please it's a 50cc!

If you like them, buy one. But I would get something cheap because you'll soon out grow it and possibly drop it. Buy what you want, it's your call and everyone starts somewhere. Even people with blades started with 50's etc. Follow your heart, dude Thumbs Up

Never mentioned speed or bhp Jimbo, but 7bhp...steady on. (although they do weigh f*ck all) Do you work for Pug or what? :l ol:

Penis jokes, ahh I'm 15 again. One more thing...grow up Jimbo. Zzzzzz

Got to go, the lawn mower TT is on...

This quote was shown to be accurate. There is a long and distinguished history behind 50cc machines. They handle to the extremes expected of full sports bikes, and they can be tweaked to a high state of tune. And yet flip again states:

So it's all down to engine size really? Get a 1.1L Ford Fiesta. Nearly DOUBLE the capacity of a 600! Wow! must be sportier.

The sad reality is that you ploughed into a thread on a New Bikers forum, with the apparent intent of putting down new bikers looking for information on a bike. Now is that very secure?

Take your own advice friend. If you have nothing to say, don't say it. Perhaps it's unintentional, but you've tried to spoil the enjoyment of another person of a motorcycle, by attempting to nurture the idiotic "bigger engine=better bike" mentality. The nett effect is a inferiority complex inflicted on new/younger bikers that they have to carry while riding 50s and 125s, when they should just be having fun and getting the best out of their bike. Try not to saddle others with preconceived baggage; relax and think of the flowers and the little bunnies.

I wasn't trying to spoil the enjoyment or put down a new biker. I'm simply saying that to me it seems extreme to compare a learner bike to a 'big' bike. That is all!

I have no experience of 50cc bikes. My NSR125 seemed sporty at the time. Handled great, sporty position but riding a gixxer then riding the NSR again was strange! Very strange Crying or Very sad
The sport feeling just wasn't there! That's all I'm saying.


Does this sound like putting people off? (I actually quite like the look of the pug)

That was me encouraging someone. I don't see anything wrong with the above quote.

I was having a dig at the quote from the pug site. Not the person that quoted it, or the dude asking the question. Thumbs Up

Good morning... Reano has good taste (thanks for the mention Cool ) in 50cc bikes, no it isn't a gixxer, it wont pull off the lights like a gixxer, it wont go faster than a gixers first gear, but if I can get my knee down on a 50 regularily and just go mad on corners, and have surprised big bikers (still left me tho Very Happy ) and just generally makes any 16 year old feel like a dog with two dicks, then surely it is as easily as sporty as a Gixer, because sport has nothing to do with engines at all, its about fun. Fox hunting is sporting, thats the only reason they do it. they dont say that a learner on a little horse is not as sporting as a pro on a big horse.. do they? Shocked

Anyway Reano, stay cool, and don't do what i just did... Sad

Head to the workshop and stop bumping 5 year old threads. Laughing.

You'll get a lot more help about mechanical things in The Workshop forum than New Bikers.
