You're looking for a Gilera DNA 50, but good luck with finding one that's not ragged to pieces.

Geared 50 would be a nightmare I imagine.

Just get a scooter if automatic is what you're after. Do gears when 17 on a 125.

And stop writing in CAPS.

Why not just wait a year and get a 125?

He might need the transport for work/college etc?

Also with your logic, why not wait 3years and skip 125's to get on an A2 bike that's obviously going to be so much better?

50ccs are hardly long-distance commuters. If you're getting a 50 to commute, you probably aren't commuting that far. Could probably do it by bicycle.

My guess is his 50cc, and the fact it has to be a "sports bike", is for leisure, because most 16 year olds are at that stage of their life where they're sitting at home wanking or playing on their ps4 all day.
They aren't typically thinking of how they can shave time off their commute to work/school.

Having said that, time isn't a dynamic variable in my recommendation that he should wait a year, so I don't know how you've come to deduce that "by my logic he should wait longer for more bike" - if that's my logic I'd tell him to wait 8 years and do DAS.

It goes without saying that 3 years is a lot longer than 1 year, and getting an A2 license is far more expensive than doing a CBT (which you'd have to do anyway to get the 50cc.) So that example is ridiculous in the first place and doesn't make nearly as much sense as waiting 1 year for a 125cc, but you knew that anyway Thumbs Up

A 125cc can do longer distance more comfortably & more than double the speed of a 50cc, and waiting a year means he'll have more money to spend on his 125cc which he's going to upgrade to anyway in a years time. Saving money on an underwhelming 50cc that he'll get bored of in under a year anyway makes more sense in that regard.

What I mean is, waiting a year for a far better option makes more sense and is more cost effective. Waiting [hyperbole]forty years to get an S1000RR[/hyperbole] isn't what I was suggesting in the least.

The only difference between a 'sports' moped and any other is what it looks like and how much you pay for it, it won't go any faster.
You'll only be keeping it for a year so instead why not get something cheap in reasonable condition and save your money for next year when you can ride something four times as powerful and twice as fast?
Any moped has the massive advantage that it frees you from reliance on mun & dad and the buses, rejoice in that and put up with it's appearance for the mere 365 days you'll own it for.
