Well I've been surfing on ebay for some cheap and good mopeds, what do you guys think?

also does the seat open?

I had a liquid cooled 50cc speedfight 2.
Yes the seat opens.
Not that high milage tbh. I put about 8000 miles on mine in a year.
Not bad bikes. CAnt say i had any probelms. I bought mine fully 'de-restricted'. It went through rollers but thats cos i ragged the fuck out of it!! Laughing

It is the number of miles the bike has covered in its lifetime.
The faster you drive, the quicker it goes up. The more distance you drive, the more it goes up.
Also, its 20,000 kilometers, not miles.
1 miles is longer than 1 kilometer.
That bike looks fine Smile 20,000kms is not alot

20725kms = just under 13000 mls, or about 2000 mls a year, which isn't a lot.

Also, £450 isn't a lot for a working bike with the thick end of a year's tax and MOT.

Buying anything that's likely to have been ragged to within an inch of it's life is a gamble, sensible gamblers only bet what they can afford to lose.

So, go for it and get into the steep learning curve of how to maintain a motorcycle.

Good luck, it can be a lot of fun Smile

There's NO WAY in hell that speedo is kilometres...
20k miles not KM. Laughing
Peugeot don't do speedos in KM.
If you're stupid enough to fall for it then you deserve to be scammed!
I'm guessing by the ridiculous amount of decals, it's been completely ragged around by 16 year old chavs Thumbs Down
7 previous owners ain't a good sign either.
Buy a moped for it's reliability, not for it's looks.
You'll have that for 2 mins and the engine will conk out Laughing
I'd buy that SR50 if I were you Wink
