    Finally my first Bike

    I have had an absolute blast today, I'm going at my own pace and taking it easy. I've taken to it much better than I had thought, no drops, only the odd stall but I'm up and riding the bike at low speeds. It's a 99 rs50 5220k on the clock and only set me back $1500, It needs a little cosmetic/mechanical work but seems really good. Again thanks to all who gave their guidance. Many thanks

    Congratulations on your bike.

    Are you into bucket racing - or is there some other reason you purchased a 50cc??

    Awesome! I'd love one of those to take to work.... who says 50ccs can't be sexy

    Defintitely keep it once you get an RS250, it'll still be great for running about on, keeping the 250 kms low

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Mint bike man, get out on the bucket track with it you will learn heaps just make sure you take the ferrings off before ya go out.

    Thats a cool machine, you will learn alot about keeping corner speed on one of those, I have an RG50 wolf thats just such a blast to ride, sometimes even more fun than my fireblade

    ENJOY!
