Now there's the problem. You are only riding a jog... You need to get an upgrade to the Yamaha Tasty Runner for more speed




Alternatively you could just nick the name plates/stickers off a Gilera Sprint (I think thats what they are called)

I think it would look much better as a BM-X then I could feel asthough im going along at quite a good pace for a push bike.........

ok thanks guys for your advice and comments, i think ill get it.
its gona cost $900 but ill push him down to $700 lol,
the reason im not getting a big bike is i only want something for round town.

Then get a old school motor bike thats around 100cc's that way you will get used to using a clutch and if you ever decide to get something more powerfull you'll be used to manul.
But if you dont intend on getting a bigger bike later than a 50cc is the way to go

My first bike was a 50cc step-thru and it was lotsa fun. I suppose I could have killed myself if I'd really tried but it had a top speed of about 65 and most of the time it was struggling either up one of Wellington's hills or in the teeth of a Wellington gale.
But it was a good way to learn. Especially as I was an impoverished student and couldn't afford ANY repairs - when a gentle Wellington breeze blew the bike over outside varsity I then rode around for three months with half a brake lever coz I couldn't afford to buy a new one... Small bikes and scooters are cheap to run, reliable and easy to pick up when they fall over.
Go for it.
