It doesn't do 75mph he is talking shit. You can almost guarantee that it has been thrashed within an inch of it's life every time it has been used and most likely given bugger all maintenance. He does say in the advert "what else can I say its a moped" which confirms that he is talking shit and that it doesn't do 75mph.

Asked him to email you.

If you want a bike to learn gears on get yourself a cheap 50cc geared bike, something like a DT50 or TS50. No fairings so no fairing to damage and cost money when it gets dropped. Pick on up for not more than around £800 from www.adtrader.co.uk .

Look at the pic of it, its looks faded and tatty. From the position its parked in, its clear it is left there all the time, so its never been garaged.

Race position = shit circulation, sore arse, sore neck, sore wrists

No matter what position your in, your not gonna do much more than 50mph without the aid of a very big hill. Whatever you buy, its gonna get sold the day you turn 17 anyway, so why not swallow your pride and get a sensible geard 50 for cheap, fix it up learning a thing or two in the process then sell it when you turn 17. even if you drop it you wont devalue it, and if you treat it nice you could make money on it!

Hi

Probably not a bad buy really. £500 currently, so even if it doubles it is not too bad a price (but not great). If you could get it for around £800 then it would be worthwhile.

You are almost certain to drop it and the fairings will get scratched. However given the prices of sports 50s then at around £800 buying price you should not loose much money.

It will probably indicate between 55 and 60. Anymore than that is unlikely unless it has a big bore kit and has been seriously played with.

All the best
