Currently selling a 50cc moped, bought it before xmas as a project but it isn't needed anymore.
It's an 02 Peugeot with full fresh MOT 2 months ago, good reliable brand for spares?
It isn't perfect but its niggles are just niggles.
I listed it at 395, expecting to be haggled down by about £100 but no, 6 offers in 24hours offering £100-200. That's it, so is a fully road ready used moped only worth £200 today?
I bought a 125 as a box of bits only 9months ago and sold it with a £50 loss at around 300 iirc?
I'm confused it's coming summer even ____________________ Roger wrote: Women don't get damp for clingy puppies. Get some better happy pills, hit the gym & buy a medallion the size of a dinner plate. Job done |

Inclined to agree with Polarbear, 125's are a preferred market I just expected better.
Thing is I have seen something more fitting my needs, viewing tomorrow which i also don't expect to wait around for more than a couple of weeks, I can sell the moped today for 200 or wait 2-3 weeks for a hopefully more justified offer and lose out or sell it cheap and make the difference up which I don't feel I should need to, it should sell well as it is.

Personally, unless I've seen the bike close up, I wouldn't trust buying a 2nd hand 50 or 125, I've seen what my nephew did to his 50 over 2 years. Granted, my daughter is doing better with her Mash 50, she's already keeping it clean, checking it over and adjusting the chain herself, next up will be an oil change. However, her Mash 50 was £1695 new ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

New 50's are still available for under a grand and 125's from just over a grand.
If I was a parent with my kid wanting a scoot at 16 and I new next to jack about bikes, I'd spend that on a new one rather than take a risk with second hand.
Now while a person who's into bikes will quite happily go the second hand route, there's not many women who would be happy doing that and women have a big say on what their kids get. I know this ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Indeed there are, however, having sat on and test ridden the Mash, also, knowing the dealer is good, based on previous experience, I was more than happy to pay the £1695. It is a lovely little bike, easy to maintain and look after, with proper gears as well, she didn't want to look a chav on a scooter ! ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

This. I was thinking about getting a little 50 again - peanuts insurance and tax, Glasgow and back on a full tank, etc but e-bikes are getting so much better and are probably just as suitable for my 4 mile commute. really the only thing that puts me off is that they're upwards of 1k for a really decent one.
50's aren't really worth all that much these days though. I bought one that was less than two years old with 70 miles on it, ran it for 3 years, changing the oil a couple of times and 2 MOT passes, sold it for more than I paid for it. People bargain hunt, and literally search under £200 price point, run it till the MOT and fuck it off. Its cheaper than bus fare. I was running mine for about 3 quid a week, fully legal. |

(link removed) reduced it aswell.
I've just been honest, no point people coming to view it and finding something different.
Sold it for a tiny profit, enough to buy what I wanted. ____________________ Roger wrote: Women don't get damp for clingy puppies. Get some better happy pills, hit the gym & buy a medallion the size of a dinner plate. Job done |
