Suzuki Katana was my first one was decent but the engine packed up after about a year (i had it second hand it was about 4 years old). My X8R however is still going and my sister has it now, i would reccomend that if you wanted a reliable one get that.

What do you want? A scooter or somthing else?
I would recondmend a Suzuki TS 50 as thats the bike i have and it does me well, they normally go for around £450 on eBay and then you can spend some money tuning it up.

Yeah I want a scooter.

I just want something I can go buy, get insurance and be off! :P

I'm looking at a Zennco Matrix WY50QT-16 for £799 brand new in my local garage, anyone know if they're any good?

Yamaha aerox ;) Stay away from botains nd the other cheap stuff

a ts would be a good idea since they last forever but if ur looking for a moped get a known name

Just bought a CPI Formula R 50CC for £1199.99

A little expensive I know, but at least it's from a reputable shop and I got a good deal on insurance £249.98 for third party fire and theft with a £150 access, which I thought was a really good deal! :)

My cousin had one of those and it was rubbish - it was really slow and his kickstart fell off after he had it about 4 months, just generally bad. But that might just have been him, he manages to ruin pretty much every bike he used and he has mine atm for his cbt :(

It's 2-stroke :)

It's alright if you ask me, the only problem I've got with it is that the speedo doesn't work! :P - Apparently there was a fault with the older models and they thought it'd been fixed with new models.. Obv not, so they're putting me a new speedo on tomorrow! :)

I'll tell you how fast it goes tomorrow, but it certainly feels more than 30mph tbh.. Oh well I'll find out tomorrow lol.

I'll take some pics tomorrow :)

I've done 100 miles today anyway haha, from the shop to my house, then from mine to work and home :)

I mainly got it to get from work and back without having to pay £5.95 on the bus everytime to go 18 miles haha! :)

But yeah, it gets me places so thats all that matters really! :)

When I've done 500 miles it'll get de-restricted anyway so i'll go a bit faster haha. £125 to de-restrict it though :@
