    The Suzuki UZ50 is fuel injected, it's reported to do 53km per litre. De-restrict the muffler and you're onto a winner. downside - it's small, so less carrying capacity (unless you get a box) ... no passengers.

    They're all Chinese built so there's no quality advantage.

    Hey carver,
    before I got my a100 I had a derestricted 2006 Suzuki SJ50, would do just over 65 flat out on the flat. It didnt break even though I did a fair bit of thrashing.

    The only maintenance I ever did to it in the 6 months I had it before I upgraded was putting air in the tyres and topping it up with 2 stroke oil.

    The bike shop sold it for me so it obvisouly passed their mechanical tests when I brought it in to them.

    Tidy example: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-190075968.htm

    Would be a good mormon few review as well!

    Admittedly they arent the most pretty bikes... but mine came up pretty well after 20 mins worth of wax polish over the plastics. The bike shop were most impressed. As for colour, well I got a maroon (man-purple) one cos it was the only one I could get locally, but they also come in green & silver.

    Thats what you mean by quality finish aye...?
