I've got a yamaha aerox, got it for £150 off ebay.

Was listed as 'spares or repair' but it only needed cosmetics, so its worth a look on ebay under that title.

I've derestricted it and it goes around 55-60 mph with a few easy mods.

you can have any 50cc bike on the road as long as it is road legal
you can have an aprilia SX50 or Rs50 but the reason people prefer
normal mopeds is just because of the price on insurance.

I have a gilera dna 50 but im not on the road yet
my cousin has a reiju rr50 which is like an aprilia sx50 - manual - around £300 or more each year on insurance
my mate has a derbi senda 50 - manual - also around £300 or more per year on insurance
another mate has a peugeot trekker 50 -automatic - anything from £210 per year
and my other mate has an aprilia sr50 dia tech edition - automatic - also around £210 per year.

if you do your cbt on an automatic bike which nearly everyone does you are still allowed to ride a manual.

before you can do anything you need to send off for your provisional licence which is £50
once you have your provisional licence you can do your cbt which is around £130 - £150
depending on where you do it.
then once you have done that you can have any 50cc road legal bike as long as you have
insurance tax and mot. and tax is only £15 for 12 months (a year) you only have to have an
mot if your bike is older than 3 years old.

In my opinion I would wait till your 17. You will need a fair bit of cash for lessons and licences etc then when you pass you will need to spend money on tax insurance car parts (espesh with a Mini) Ive spoken to people that have peds and they do try to avoid using them - they only ride if they really really need to as there just rubbish. Trust me wait till you drive, driving is sooo much fun and worth every penny even if it is expensive from time to time. Good luck!

Hi, my brother had a moped when he was 16 and loved it... it gives you freedom to go wherever you want.

As long as you are sensible and dont go popping wheelies round car parks I think they are fine.

Anyway he had a trampolining accident during a show last year and no longer requires the bike... so if your interested here's the spec
