A friend just got a CBT done.

He wants a reliable moped that is cheap. Looks do no really matter to him.

I was thinking a Jap moped but not sure what.

Price wise no more than 1000 really. Although he may budge if he really has to.

He doesn't know much about scooters so 125cc probably better. He lives in Ilford and there are some fast roads there.

Peagout reliable? :o Their cars are shit lol.

A moped? or a scootay?

Mopeds are 50cc things, Scooters are bigger or ridiculous like the 650 bergman.

But the Honda Innova is a good choice, it is ible.....Zzzzzz

How about something like a C90 or its modern cousin, the Innova ANF125? Both Honda.

...except that they're not cheap, cause they now have "the name" for being cheap... and for some reason that means people pay more, so that they're no longer cheap. Laughing
