They're all the same pretty much.

Look on Ad Trader for ones near you.

[steve09]

ok brilliant thanks.
also why do you never see 16 year olds on these https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=424&item=2488720876&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
at least not round my area. thats a kooool 50 looks soo much kool than RS and DPRs

Quality!! From that photo there it looks like a minimoto, and not much more than one as well. Ped bois will be creaming themselves!

[Ste]

Could just be less of them around because they're imports. (the clocks are in kmph not mph)

[steve09]

some of the Kwak Ar are really kool.
ar there many things you can doo too mod these?

cheers for the advice i completely forgot about the RD.
the reason i want a 50cc geared bike its because i want to get confedent on gears so when im 17 i can take my test and ride 33bhp.
i also think it will make riding abit more fun round counrty lanes.

Pah, I have an automatic and I will have to learn to use gears too if I want to pass the 33BHP test.

I have a training session for free from the motorcycle training centre soon, because I took my CBT with them.

Yeah, the gears aren't that hard to get the hang of, well wasn't for me, but some people find things harder than others, id never ridden a geared bike before, but soon as i got on it came naturally (not being big headed) but it did, its all about confidence really, but dont get over confident or you mite be waking up in hospital


safe riding, Steve.

Sorry to bring up an old(ish) post, gears are so easy to learn, i had never ridden a geared bike before and sat on a pals rs125 and within within 10 minutes i was hitting 85mph.

But maybe thats because i knew HOW to do it, but had never DONE it.

Wouldn't worry too much Marc, it had was just over 24 hours old, so not exactly an old thread.

Gears are easy to learn, and with practice you will be able to do it with ease, managing to pull off isn't too hard (doing it smoothly is harder) and changing up gears is very easy, so managing to do 85mph doesn't really say very much.

If you're going to get a 125 or do your 33bhp test when you're 17 you are best of getting a geared 50cc so that you are more conifdent and experiences with using them when you turn 17 and get a 125 or do your test. They're not too hard to use, but using them correctly and smoothly and to test standard is the trick.
