50cc?

[Thankyou]

i know you probably hear this all the time but i was wondering which is the best 50 ped to get, scooter or geared.
Mainly going for speed.
My mate has a runner 50 (derestricted) and says he can get 65 out of it. I need one that can go faster if he is telling the truth. how fast can an rs50 go.
please help.
Thankyou.

[Ste]

It might do 65 if you ride of a cliff.

50cc are not meant to be fast, and they never will be. Get one, like at 30-50mph, become 17, do your test move on.

Best 50cc would be anything with gears and without fairing as you are so likely to drop it, and fairings dont bounce like an MX bike

would a 50 with gears go faster than a 50 scoot?

No. But it will mean when you get onto a proper bike you will be able to use the gears

an old TS50 or DT50 would be your best bet - top speed of around 40, lots of cheap tuning parts in breakers, dirt cheap to run, crash, insure and buy.

my mates rs 50 goes 75 (on the clock)

Yeah the guy who sold me my new end can and gear levers n stuff said he had his RS up to 115mph, I gave him a look of disbelief and he quickly started trying to explain that it was de-restricted and race tuned and god knows what else he said!

Oh and apparrently his front wheel was always in the air gave me a chuckle on the ride home!

My TS50 did 50MPH which isnt too bad. Some scooters are faster although the acceleration on a geared 50cc tends to be a bit faster.

The aprilia RX50 is a fast 50cc, a mates used to indicate 65MPH, plus they look pretty nice.

65MPH on a scooter is doubtful but still possible as i know some are fairly nippy for 50's.

I also agree with the above, get a geared 50cc scrambler, they are so much fun and are really good for learning wheelies and clutch control. I have a CBR600 and still get alot of fun out of riding my TS50.

cheers

A scooter registering 60+mph doubtful my mate had a 125 scooter which only registered 65 at the top end 70 if you give it a good hill and wind!

I used to piss all over it on my old CG so I doubt a 50cc would get up that kind of speed but that may just be my opinion!

[mike_neon]

got a Aprillia SR 50, had it for about 8-9 months
top speed around 45-50 mph

dont really matter mate on the ped speed, all the around the same really. I went for a good looking one and happened to be fairly nippy at the same time. Dont go for Aprillia tho, as not highly recommended in ped terms, fairings cost an absolute shit loads, and theres a high chance of dropping it! Really not recommended

i would recomend getting a second hand Speed fight 2 or something, very smart, nippy, cheap fairings, easy to get parts.

If you want to move onto something bigger afterwards, dont raid the bank as i saved my dosh as i knew i wouldnt keep the ped longer than a year.

Going for my bike test next week (14th July) ooo and im nervous

Hi

My RS50 (only derestricted) once got to 66mph (head down long run up gentle downhill etc!) but was more happier at 55-60. any body who claims they can get their 50 above 70mph is talking out their backside.

I also would go with a geared bike cos u will simply get bored of going along full throttle on a automatic ped!

Regards

Rich

mate all 50s are the same in my mind, everyone will claim that there goes loads faster but it dont their siply lying, 50s do 50 some a little faster some a little slower, no huge differences, in hind sight i wish i had a geared 50, but for convenience peds are easier as thay have storage an u cus probably ride them in ur sleep (i am not sayin you should try this, an take no responsibility in death and/or injury caused by sleep ped riding)

Don't spend much money on a 50.

D'oh with my bike blown up, I have to use the ped again. Although we're selling pretty much everything in the garage over the next couple of weeks. I'm already missing the gears

[The BeefMeister]

As most of you know I've got a RS50 and no lie it does 71mph. Screaming its bollocks off going beyond redline! It's a nice bike but that's probably the most wanted bike a 16 year old wants. I'm selling it in November.

My mate has a DT50MX for sale, hes stripped it and repraying it and putting it back together. It's been derestricted, fresco big one exhaust, K'n'N air filter, tops out at 60mph. Excellent for wheelies.
He want's £500 ono.

it doesn't do 71mph.

what the speedo says and what the bike is doing are two very different thing. It could be doing 60.
