Just bought a bike off a mate (suzuki ts50) for 300 squid Smile

anyway it wheelies extreamly easily. I did my first wheely (ever) today as you can see in the picture Smile

That was with me leaning forward and dropping the clutch... a little later i tried sitting right back on the seat, i ended up running along behind the bike with it on its back wheel Embarassed

Yep the dragster is going hopefully, just need to find a buyer. have you tried selling yours to any bike shops? if so what sort of quotes were you given?

I have 3 bikes at the min and there is no more room Confused

parents are getting a bit peed!

Doddmaster · World Chat Champion Joined: 02 Feb 2002 Karma :

No, shops offer stupid money.
I am starting to try and sell privately, for £900 hopefully

I know how ya feel, I got 3 bikes and the parents are complaining. Next weekend there'll be 5, that should be fun Laughing

ive tried wheelying the rs125 but it wont lift more than a few centimeters if that.

I got a good deal on that ts50 me thinks. Its a P reg so itsnt that old and its only done 13k km. On bike trader they are like 450 for an F reg!

I may take you up on that offer dodd Wink

and scott you are welcome to a go if ever you actually see the ts50 in person Smile

It only goes 50mph but definately some fun to be had on it!

would i be right in thinking its not gonna be insured?

M1ke · Ped Boi Joined: 11 Jun 2002 Karma :

its not at the minute no but it will be Smile

my dad wont let me out on any of my bikes unless they are insurred Smile

that wheely was litterally outside my house (the mate that took the photo was standing in my drive way)

I need a little cheap 50cc for going to college on and also it will be used as a winter bike. taking the prillia to college everyday (1 mile or so journies) was just trashing it plus in the end it actually takes longer to get to college on the aprillia because it has to warm up and everything.

Can you not just get in thrown in on your other insurence for the RS?

Arrrr the memories of my youth. Very Happy

I had a TS50 when I was 14 and used it as a field bike. Had loads of fun on it and I'm sure you'll do the same. Damn, I seem to be the only Midlander with only one bike. Crying or Very sad

I almost bought a CBR600 though the other day, on an R-plate and in mint condition for £3500. Then I remembered I needed to do my full test Crying or Very sad

Cheers for the thought, but I haven't been on my Dragster since I got my first real bike in May. Not really interested in how one person's Dragster does 3mph more than another because of the £2000 of mods spent on it Smile

I have found that 50's trials ad sports always seem to wheelie a hell of a lot better than sports 125s, i think its down to the gearing as my gpr wheelies really well off the clutch, 8000 revs drop clutch and up it comes. The ts 50 aint a bad bike for little running around, but it certainly aint fast, in 50cc terms, as i know a guy who is a bit of a tosser, but he had 50/ 75 and 100cc engines for it and it still couldnt keep up with the gpr even when it was in 5th gear. buton the fields and around ton its will be brill and good fun.
