A second-hand scooter?

[Winston001]

Yeah and if it was just for me then I'd have loved a C110 Postie bike or similar. However my son only has his learners license so a 50 makes sense in the interim so he can go to his holiday job.

Assuming I use it too, I'm only 4k from work on city streets.

Plus there are a group of guys who go on scooter rides and that sounds like fun.

Eventually I'll change it for a proper small bike 100 - 150.

Don't listen to all the 50cc haters. Just don't buy the WRONG one. Def go 2 stroke over 4 stroke.
Aprilia SR50. Cheaper rego, not that $429 bullshit.. Chuck a sport exhaust on it and derestrict it. Good for up to 90kmph on stock 50cc piston.

And don't get pulled by a cop for speeding around town. Because you will

I use mine mostly around town and up to 50km trips on the highway, Nelson-Motueka etc. I haven't blown it up yet, over 7000km on it since de-restriction.
Good honest clean fun.

In comparison with a 4T 125, the 50cc scoots are far better value for money.
I rode a 125 Piaggio Fly from Auckland to Nelson and that would only top out a 90kmph as well, so owning it just gave the gubbermint the pleasure of raping my wallet an extra $300 in rego a year.
Personally, I'd rather put that dosh into go fast bits for a fiddy.
