Delivery Bikes

[Ingah]

Was kinda wondering what you guys thought were the best bikes to use for delivering? (when you're paying for the bike and maintaining it/petrol yourself that is)

Thinking more local stuff like takeaway deliveries (where you're paid by the hour and by the drop), rather than pence per mile long distance work, so smaller bikes. E.g. Pizza Hut uses Peogeot/Honda 50cc scooters. Except they're a little too slow to do it safely imo.

Is it the usual "learner" 100-125cc bikes - CG/YBR/RXS etc. Or is there something better to the task? What have you guys chose to use in the past?

C90, Honda Innova 125 would be the first to spring to mind, would also consider CG/CBF/YBR as well. All very economical with fuel and easy/quick to maintain.

Innova 125 has replaced the now obsolete C90 at the delivery bike of choice, judging by the sheer number of the things I see buzzing about these days. I would always ride a proper bike myself, given the choice, but Innovas are built to just keep rolling with minimal input, either to ride or maintain.
