Theres also other ones like the Yamaha TZR50 and the MotorHispania RX50. No need to ask about performance though as they all, apart from one or two, run on the same engine. Its all pretty much what you prefer the look of.

Big list of 50cc's can be found https://www.50cc-motorcycles.com/ there. Helpful site.

You will get an old grp or the rs50 the cheapest, tzr and new gpr are a lot of cash, but very good.

one tip, Do Not spend alot on a 50cc as you will most likely fall of it damage it and when you come to sell it you wont get your money back, upto you but thats my advice.

I have to agree with Steve there. Do not spend a lot on a 50cc because as he said you might fall off it and cause hundreds of pounds worth of damage and you will probably end up selling it after a year. I paid £350 for my 50cc with £250 tpft insurance. Its cheap to run and reliable and leaves me with more money to put towards a bigger bike. I have fallen off it once, quite a bad fall, but with not much fairing, damage was nothing major, £60 worth of parts thats all.

But at the end of the day its your decision. RX50, RS50, TZR50, GPR50, Reiju RS1 and RS2 and the Cagiva Prima 50 (a 50cc Mito basically) are all the modern sports bikes. But there are older bikes which are quite decent like the Kwak AR50, Yamaha DT50, Suzuki TS50, Derbi Senda, Honda MT50. If you are interested in scooters then go for an Aprilia SR50, Gilera Runner, Piaggio NRG or a Yamaha Aerox.

Good Luck

I would spend £900 most, remember with a 50cc you get what you pay for, you pay 300 quid you get a pile of shit.

For £900 you could get a decent/alright/half good rs50 on a 03 plate.

If you are after a scooter i would highly recommend the runner sp, not purejet and the nrg.

Mine cost me £350 and I wouldn't call that a pile of sh*t in reliability terms. Has never broken down on me and had no problems at all with it. Does the job fine. On the other hand, it does look like a pile of sh*t. My bike is the one in my avatar.

[derbisenda200...]

your proberly on about the gilera smt or something it is just teh same as a derbi senda cause they are the same company really they got derbi parts on the bike but differnt pannels plus with dirtbikes if you come off you hardly get a mark on the bike. if you got a bike like a TZR and fell off it it would be a lot to pay to replace or get them looking like new

Id go for the RS50! They are super reliable and they do 90mph when they are RESTRICTED! and 110mph DERESTRICTED!!!!!

Also If you get the RS125 it will do 100mph RESTRICTED and 150mph+ DERESTRICTED!

I have a mate who has an RS125 which does 150mph with two people!

Defonatly got for an RS mate!

Get yourself a proper ped............. https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v220/flattyman/ped.jpg

Non of this twist 'n' go lark. Unless of coarse you're just going to do the shopping on it.

[nathan1997]

I spend 950 on my rs50 on a 02 plate, it lasted a year doin about 20 miles a day!
Didn't fall off once, and then sold it for 940 on ebay! lol!

Not bein funny mate, but why worry about what youre gettin, if you're gonna keep it restricted?
As long as you Keep 'L' plates on it and dont ride like at Tit through 20 and 30 limits, you'll be alright, and i very much doubt that any coppers know what the law is on 50cc's any way! Ive been pulled over twice in a Year on my de-restricted Aerox 50, and havnt had any trouble! Half the coppers think its a 125! Thats the mentality of the modern day copper, half of em dont know what a motorbike is, let alone speeds/legalities!
Also, if you go for a second hand one, of any of the ones that have already been listed above, your gonna find it bloody hard to get hold of one that IS still restricted.
Hope i havent offended anyone, but these are just my views.

my first bike, piaggio zip , paid 50 pound for it, replaced a couple of pannels and sprayed it up, and about 3 month after i crashed it, stupid noobish mistake of taking a corner too wide, panicking and jumping on brakes, but id already built up a collection of spares, touched it up and was all dandy again.
Glad i didnt spend loads as its not worth it, even if i sell it for 300 pound thats still around 250 pound profit, simply just dont spend alot.
For 50 quid i thought my ped was the dogs, the faces of some people that had spent over a grand for theres when i told them was great

[superstacker]

an RS125 doing 150mph?

i dont know too much about bikes but i doubt that extremely. i could be wrong but i cant see a 125 doing 150? unless we're talking kph?

Bear in mind my VFR400 does around 120-130.

correct me if i am wrong though
