Members Ianasauras Posted March 24, 2011 Members Share Posted March 24, 2011 Why not a 125? Trust me the extra little bit of speed can be handy. But if ya want something in a 50 id recommend a honda c50. Can be got for pennies, super mega reliable, anything that does break is very easily fixed and they dont look to bad at all.

Members benecol Posted March 24, 2011 Members Share Posted March 24, 2011 I commute six thousand miles a year on my Vespa (it's a 125, one of the modern four stroke ones), and really enjoy it. If you do have the option, get a slightly bigger scoot; 50s tend to get absolutely hammered for a year before the pilot turns 17, plus you want something with just a shade more poke to keep ahead at the traffic lights. I'd avoid those Chinese scoots if I were you - heard some terrifying horror stories about them, especially the frames... Look for a Honda Lead 100 or similar, you should pick one up for close to your budget. And C70s and C90s are cool as cats - the best selling motorcycle in the world ever, fact fans.

My 2-stroke Vespa PX150 was my only form of transpo for 5 years when I lived in Taiwan. Rode the {censored} out of it. Had to replace the piston and rings a couple of times. Rode it around the island once. It was {censored}ing awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
