Well, in 4months im turning 16, and im going to get a 50cc.

I've been looking around abit, found a few bikes i like, a few scooters too.

Now, i know when im 16 the maximum speed i can do is 31mph, but im looking for a bike that will do 45-50+.

I preferably want an onroad/offroad crosser, but im finding it difficult to find one. My only other option is a scooter, but their useless on fields.

Can anybody suggest some decent onroad crossers that i could pickup for a grand or so second hand.

Thanks, KezzeR.

I can see the need for the limit but then, I can also see me being a right pain in the arse on A roads if I was stuck at 30.

It's just slow and you just feel like you're poot'ling along so you don't really pay much attention. Least at 50+ you know you need to be more aware and also not holding people up.

I'd get run over at 30 on the ring road lol

I mean fast A-roads (60/70mph).

Surely the vast majority of 16 year olds commute from suburbs into another part of the same town? Not from town to town?

The topics going off topic.

Anybody know any decent 50cc crossers capable of 45mph+

All A roads aren't 60/70?! Shocked

Opps.

The Yamaha DT50 should be capable of that... The needle wont spend much time outside of the red though Razz

Dt 50 is good. To be honest most 50cc first bikes are very similar, almost all have the AM6 engine. Yamaha, Gilera, debri, rieju, motorhispania, aprilia to name just a few makers offroad 50 makers

I agree with on_one, go for a supermoto style 50 like one of the ones on_one has mentioned, they're pretty quick for a 50

I think the fastest derestricted 50cc you can get on the road will be about 60-65mph and thats not including the speedo being innacurate. Anyone that says theres does 90 etc etc need to be shot as they are probably reading the KM. Or they are a chav.
