[wigman]

Way back when i owned a Suzuki AP50 which was a rival to the Fizzy and the Honda SS50, has anybody on here owned a moped and if so which one !

 

[Pat McCrotch]

I have never owned a moped. They are gay.

I had a Honda MBX50 back in '85. Looked like a 250, and reached a stunning 35 mph!

Moved on more recently to a Vespa 300 GTS. Much more fun

SS50 for me. "unrestricted" and had by bicycle type pedals! Went on to a CB125 and now (30 years later) have a Yamaha XJ600N which I ride about twice a year!

At 16 they're much, much cooler than any alternative transport.

I knew someone who had an MBX 80, very quick machine for its size.

Never had a 50cc mate, left that to the boys at No.10! I had a 100cc but I'm buggered if I can remember what it was.

You and Bear bought identical bikes.

You think so? I just laugh when i see bell-ends flying round on those things thinking they are f***ing Valentino Rossi

The most embarrassing mode of transport over created in my opinion. They even beat roller blades

Nah he had the Honda 125cc MX bike I had the Yamaha equivalent.

Good thread. When I was a teen I had a Suzuki TS125 which was converted to an off-road scrambler. When I got to 16 I had a Yamaha DT50 and then when I got to 17 I had a Kawazaki AE80. Like you these bikes looked much much bigger than they were.....but only reached 35mph on a good day.

They looked identical too me.

I had an FS1E-A and loved it, when I turned 17 I got a Suzuki X7 which was great as well.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

I boared (sp) out the limiters on my DT125 and got 70mph out of it!

Different colours and everything mate!

The TS 125 was a great bike.

I thought they were both Orange,

A little yellow Puch that I bought second-hand in 1976. It used to get me to work in Lewes faster than a car would. This was before the Lewes by-pass was built and all the traffic that used the A27 from the east had to go via South Street - which meant queues trailing back for miles. The moped just whizzed past them all.

Yamaha DT50 for two weeks back in 87. Stolen never recovered - gutted but probably saved my life as this bike was lethal on the roads!
