Default Anyone got a Moped here

If your 16 year old then go and stroke 1 off NOW

I am thinking of getting a Ped as i now only work 5 mins from our house, so about 7p a week on fuel to commute sounds good
What decent cheapish Mopeds are available that do more than 23mph though?

Cheers

Dave has a Vespa, must admit was not really keen on it at first, but i'm thinking of doing my CBT now LOL

Think Dave said he had about 50mph out of it

Its excellent on fuel, £6 for 2 weeks use !

Seriously the 4 stroke 125 Vespa's are a good balance between cost and style imo

I had a Vespa Last year, and loved it.

was a PX125 but with PX200 Engine, spent loads on it making it look Bling lol.

Sold it on ebay which had Crazy Interest.

Mines did a touch under 75 mph.

Looked at PX's earlier, stopped making them now and the guy says its a modern day classic (oh and he has 2 left so i best be quick, salesmen lol).
I have looked at then and 2nd hand they are a fair price so i thought i should order a branny

If it's not changed in 12 years its just a case of poncing round some cones in the morning followed by a road ride in the afternoon.

It's not a pass/fail type thing. You just need to demonstrate decent bike control and show yourself to be safe out on the road

Playing footy once a week is enough exercise for my fat frame, plus theres a big bastid hill to go over each way that would see me having a cardiac twice a day
