I wondered how long it would take..:rolleyes:

Re: Small Capacity Bikes
 

Who can complain at it. £10 lasts me 170miles easy. No problems with it except the duff starter, cheap to insure, tax is a doddle.

It was worth a plug.

plowsie im just waiting for you to drop the price more, and does it still have an mot?

Re: Small Capacity Bikes
 

I think it still has a month or so left. I ain't dropping any more unfortunately, I owe £100 on it, and for a bike I paid £500 for, £200 in my pocket will keep me happy.

Re: Small Capacity Bikes
 

well im not paying that much when its going to cost me the same to insure

Okie smoke.

CG's arn't restricted, theyre just slow. I still manage to get 70 with enough space on a very long road.

My CG is cheap, reliable, and plenty fast enough for around town. It can get up to 50mph more than quick enough, but on longer dual carriageway journeys it can struggle with the wind.

All ive had to do was replace the tyres (pretty worn down when i bought it) which cost me £100 fitted for the pair, and occasional engine oil refill.

I'd avoid the two-stroke Nifty Fifties, they're all knackered and if not they don't last.
A four-stroke 125, is a better bet, although your requirement for tuneability is less certain with any four-stroke.
A two-stroke like an old YB100 or similar can still be found here and there - much much longer lasting and durable than a fifty, and an all round better buy, not in the least exciting though.

Just thought I'd throw it out there; if anyone's after a cheap hack project i've got a kwak GPX250 for sale. Needs a rear caliper, bit of fettling with the carbs and the fairings being put back on. £350 or make an offer.
