Right boys and girls, selling this one for my Dad, is my old bike so I have a little experience of how it runs.

The bike is a Motorhispania RYZ50, it was first registered in 2003 so quite a recent bike, on a 53 plate. The bike itself has 6398 kilometers on the clocks, which is 3975 miles. It is in overall good running condition, just been serviced and has a receipt to prove so. There is only one problem, and that is that the temp sensor doesn't work right and comes on straight away. I always did my utmost to take care of her, sprayed her with WD40 alot to keep the rust away and to keep her waterproof. And I had to polish the carbon lookalikey can! There is a few minor scuffs, pictured, but nothing major. Oh and electric blue bar ends Laughing

Taxed and tested for a good while yet too.

It is a 50cc enduro bike, if you hadn't already guessed, which is perfect for you 16 year olds that want to get out on the road but don't want to have a ped, and want a bike that does more than just road riding. Due to it's nature and it's lovely nobbly tyres, it can be taken offroad, which is alot of fun, although I myself have only taken it on a flat dry track I'm sure it can do well on more! To be honest, this is the perfect geared bike for a 16 year old, if you drop it there is no fairing to break, it is very forgiving and taught me my uber clutch work quite easily, a quality that helped me pass my A2 as quickly as I did.

I am not going to lie, this bike does about 45mph flat out, but it doesn't waste anytime getting there, quite fast for a 50cc, I'm afraid it hasn't got the torque of the '98 R1 but still pretty good, all you'll need at 16. Starts first kick, doesn't take long to warm up either. Best feature for me is that it takes less than three quid to fill and will go for miles on that, perfect if you are a skint student like me. You will have to be quite tall, as it is a tall bike, at about 5'7" I was fine. It is based in Sheffield.

To be honest, I'll miss it. The simplicity, how easy it is to work on, how well it teaches you about bikes and how much of a bond I formed with it (Sounds gay but it was my first ever bike), it's gonna be hard to let go. Crying or Very sad
