What was your first moped?

[strag]

And how fast was it?

Mine was an AP 50 in 1980, blue, crash bars etc. Got 68mph out of it (standard) with my feet on the rack. Also had a FS1e but was nowhere near as quick.

[rizo-sri200]

a red B reg Honda C50 (it was free and insurance was cheap)

and got about 47mph

[strag]

I had a tomos tango 2-speed. It once went right round the clock (max 30) and back to 10mph...whatever than means.

I've never had the priviledge of scootering! I started out on geared bikes straight away.

[Jebus]

anit got any yet but aiming to start on a nsr 125, cheap enough to buy sporty bike looks and get me used to the sports bike kinda riding style

[mattsmith95]

Mine was a Suzuki FZ50, 30mph tops, that was back in 1983
and it was my transport to college. Best of all, dirt cheap to
run.

One of my college mates had a white AP50 which had been
rebored, the claim was he could get 70mph.

AH those were the days

[TheShaggyDA]

1977 (pre restriction) Yamaha V50P - 55mph

[synaptyx]

Yamaha JogR 50cc. De-restricted it did asbout 47/48 indicated, god knows what that really was 42/43 maybe?

[strag]

Most 'peds' in the early days (omg i feel old!) were geared. AP, FS1E, SS etc were geared bikes. I know the trend now is for scoots but surely they were a better intro to bikes?? My first bike was a honda c50 for hacking round the fields, gears, well 3, but no clutch. I think I had as much fun on my 50 when I was 16 as I have on my bike now!!

[Dr Nick]

Suzuki AY50WR Katana 'R', R means its got nice paintjob but weighs 3 kg more than standard and had a spoiler .
With sports can did 50 down a hill, till i pushed it too hard and conrod went, then it only did 45, Sold it for my RS, stupidest thing i ever did.

I never owned a moped, but have still got a speedshite 2 100cc which technically isnt a moped its a motorcycle, but still it looks and goes like a moped!

Does a GENUINE 60mph but i prefer my geared bike, much more involving!

to peds I HATE THEM!!!

[Bendy]

Never had a moped technically, but I did have a 100cc Malaguti Phantom scooter.

Was great at what it was designed to do, ie. short city hops and nipping around in traffic. Got me to work for 2 weeks on a fiver's worth of petrol and at the time was quite good fun to ride.

I'd probably get on one now and think it sucked but that's progress.

Top speed was an indicated 67mph. Though they tyres were only rated to 60 and the brakes didn't work very well.

[RS1Banger]

I had a TS50X, C reg, did 34mph very very slowly. I soon kitted it and it did 65mph at 13000rpm twice, on the second occasion it heat siezed, bust a ring, scored the bore and did 49mph after that, but it was still reliable. Oh and every time I went off road it came home with 3 or 4 less spokes than it went with.

[cliff]

Gilera Dna 50. Derestricted did about 46/48mph, that was before it got wet.

[bikedudextrm]

I first got on the road with a an old model piaggio zip which would top out at about 45mph and it buggered up about a week after i got it. I then got a speedfight 2 which lasted me until i was 17, standard it would do about 55mph but i waisted loads of money on it (70 kit, gear kit, exhaust, etc) and it would only do about 60-65mph what a waste.

I sold my ped not even a year ago and i've already gone upto a 600cc .
