Sister is turning 16 so we want her to get some road experience before she gets a car at 17 she isn't interested in pursuing bikes after 17 (at the moment) so gonna buy her a 50 to use for a while.

She can ride she has ridden my 125 a few times and handles it well and a 110 thumper (Private land ofc)

What 50ccs do all the kids like at the moment

I had an old early 80's DT50MX that was actually a fun little bike to ride, would do an indicated 40mph or so.

A few years back I rode a mates Aprillia SR50 scoot to the MOT station for her about 12 miles away on B roads. Was surprisingly fast for and didn't feel that much slower than what I'd ride my normal bike (GS400 import) at the time.

First time I rode a tuned SR50 I was tole to be careful (thinking yer alright mate its a 50) fist full of revs and the front wheel was in the air lol

A lad at work had a Rieju RS2 50cc which was reasonably sprightly and looked good for what it was. When he turned 17 it grew an 80cc head and went as well as a CG or similar for a relatively cheap amount of cash.

My mate has a Yamaha TZR 50, it'll do 55 derestricted. But all the AM6 engines will, rs 50, senda 50. My MT5 used to do 50, according to a mates speedo, and I'll thump anyone who disagrees.

There was a girl at school with a little Piaggio, that flew. Some mopeds are fairly nippy. A lad on an RS80 blew me away on my varadero. Granted, not strictly a ped.

I like peds

any geared bike you can't really go wrong, they all tend to be the same. the derbi engines tend to be a bit stronger and reliable than the am6 minarelli, so that means Derbi senda/Gilera RCR, Derbi GPR.. I would also however look for a model that is restricted, usually low mile examples.. then you know it won't have been fucked around with, less chance of going wrong.

Just avoid the chinky geared's like the plague.. a friend of mine went through I think it was 3 pistons in the space of about 8 months, and various other things.. spent more time in the garage then it did on the road.

I've always fancied a Honda XR8S as a decent enough 50cc, in that:
a) It has a funky cast alloy frame
b) It's a Jap designed and Japanese built 50cc, and due to it's design and materials it cannot have been a cheap 50cc bike to make, which I think bodes well years down the line.
c) It's a got a simple but tunable 50cc 45-50mph motor, that's all you need from a 50cc machine.

Had a Gilera Runner 50 when I was 16.

Didn't have 1 accident. It was when I get the 125 that I was a SMIDSY

I've bought one of these bad boys.

Wouldn't bother with gears with a 50cc, would defo go for something derestricted. Gilera Runner, Piaggio NRG/Typhoon, Yamaha... err... exhausted my knowledge of scooters here Personally always fancied a Peugeot Speedfight, was never enough of a chav to buy one tho.

you need to be careful with the cub 50s as the early ones aren't legally classified as a "moped" as they aren't restricted to 28mph... cant remember the exact differences but there is a thread about it on the C90 club forum
