If your getting a scooter I would make sure you're gonna get insured with a company that will give you no claims.......


Otherwise just buy a car and get it in good condition and roadworthy for when you are 17

aprilia rs50 and derbi gpr50 are the best 50s out there..



If i was getting a bike like that i'd probs be looking at a yamaha TZR

And Kenoby pal how much did you end up spending on yours?




Around 1500 Euro with that setup. More if you include replaced parts... damaged ones..

I had a Gilerra Runner back when i was 16. got it derestricted and put on a sports exhaust and used to get 60mph out of it hit nearly 70mph going down hill once! the acceleration is brilliant as well i used to dick all my mates on it! good little bike! be careful though! a mate of mine i used to ride with just died on a bike, lost control and broke his neck and died instantly

Being a Bike rider, i think a moped is good to get you around and get you road wise, but you do have to listen to what people are telling you about being sensible.

You can be a good rider and still be cool and have fun.

I had a scooter, a 125cc and now a much bigger bike and its awesome.

You might also on the cheaper option look at some 50cc motorbike style rides. Value for money, try looking at some Chinese Imports. Cheap to repair, insure and run....

Yep just today rang in for this bike:

Its done plenty of miles and is coming to 4 years old. The owner wants around £600 for it which seems reasonable
