Dude, I was born in Yugoslavia, and that was the sound of my childhood. My first love that propelled me to a love for motorcycles. And you my friend just NAILED IT with entire story behind these bikes. They are poor children's hero

[@Clapham888]

Story time! The year is 2001. I was 17, young and stupid and living in a town called Hoorn in Holland. I recently totalled my Piaggio NRG and needed wheels to get to school and work and stuff. I bagged one of these bad boys for 150 euros and that became my mighty steed. It got hopped up a bit with a 70cc kit, I upgraded the carb from the stock 11mm to a Dellorto 21mm and stuck some or other sports exhaust on it (think it was Gianelli, can't remember). It would hit 80kph easily but make no mistake: 80kph on something with the structural rigidity of a flacid penis just after it's seen Susan Boyle is scary. Like holy fuck scary. I could wheelie the thing for days, it accelerated like a trooper and the shove it gave when swapping in to 2nd gear made it double the fun as it was like accelerating all over again. Thing thing was trashed or crashed every other day, it persisted in rain, snow, hail, sleet, salted roads, no cover, it was hands down the most unloved, most abused piece of machinery I have ever experienced in my 33 years of existence. And the thing just never gave up. Ever. Every single day I'd kick it a couple of times and it'd just fire right up, like an obedient labrador who's just been given a shot of adrenaline or a line of cocaine early in the morning. I eventually fitted a top box so I could carry all my crap around with me and sold it 3 years later to a friend who I've since lost contact with. Real shame, I'd love to know where it is now. That thing carried me all over Holland day in, day out. I must've racked up 30k kilometres on it (that's what, 28 miles? Dunno, yanks are weird) and it just went on and on. All those stories you read about people who have their fondest memories in their first cars? Hell no. Not even close to the memories I have, and all of them with my trusty Tomos by my side. Actually, fuck it. I'm gonna find one for sale. Thanks for this Mr Regular, always nice to see Tomos getting a bit of love.

[@Clapham888]

nameloos 99 Tomos had very close ties with Holland. The Dutch division helped develop a few models and their factory made loads of them. Tomos even made bikes for Puch at one point. Saying Tomos isn't Dutch is wrong as the Dutch helped make Tomos what it is today :)

Small displacement motorcycles (Honda Cubs, Vespas mopeds and similar bikes) are a blast to ride in a group. I am a huge America car loving guy that has old school large displacement V8 rides (Lincolns and caddy's from the early 1970s) that generally weigh in at 5000+ LBS but my friends and I go out zipping across so Cal on some goofy tiny bikes, Honda ct90, Honda ct70 (which is a street legal mini bike)) a cub 55 andd a buddy that has an insanely fast small frame Vespa honestly it is way more fun then my couches on wheels when we ride together, that being said it is sort of embarrassing when I have ridden by myself... Traffic forms behind you and everyone gives the strangest look but in a group for some reason people cheer and give thumbs up.

Oh this brings me back to when I was 15 in the late 90's and I was getting by on my Puch Montana -82. It was older than me but my first proper relationship. In Sweden, if you lived in a semi rural area having a moped was our first taste of freedom. Mopeds without license were limited to 30km/h (25mph roughly) but they were built for about 70-75kmh and most people hade them running at least at those speeds. All you needed to do was remove a little plug in the gasoline intake of the carborator. And you were set for 70kmh. Then you switched to a more efficient exhaust and the next step was to get a bigger carborator and you were doing 80-85kmh. So you switched to larger out gear since you had so much "excess power" and you had a "moped that ran 90-100km/h that you could take off road whenever the cops tried to stop you... And you knew those back woods like the palm of your hand so the cops were chanceless. And the engine was so simple, it was the perfect way to learn how it combustion engine works. My crank shaft gave up on me and I had to replace it and clean every part of that engine from residual metal. Took me about a weekend with the help of my step-dad and afterwards it went even better... Oh the memories... Riding along with my friends when I sold it I felt like I was losing a family member. It was such a great time growing up and seeing a bit more of where I grew up.. Thank you for reminding me of those times. Puch Montana was a great bike for me. Going on road trips and getting to give a ride for that girl you'd had a crush on for ages because you were too young and scared to actually ask her out. That feeling of her holding on to you, trusting you...

[@DeltaTrolls]

You made this a year ago but im in my mid 20s and just recently moved to chistlehurst. Got a puch x10 to get me about and i feel like a trouble maker haha. Everyone comments on it.

[@markpenrice6253]

I'd be interested to see someone do a proper test of how accurate those speedos were, given that 100kmh is more 125cc territory for 4-strokes, and a 2 stroke typically doesn't have twice the power for the same capacity. I know the clock on my 125 is decidedly optimistic at higher speeds (nudging the 10% legal allowance for inaccuracy, when tracked by phone), who knows how far out the one on a moped meant for less than 50kmh (...did the speedo even read beyond 70~80k?) would have been, in an age before easy GPS verification and the like...

[@timon4001]

This is almost the same story that my dad tells me, and i never belived him on his word, outruning the cops, the forrests, but yea, i own a Rieju MRX 50, starter bike for me, before that i owned and learned how to drive clutch on a Tomos APN 6s (also 50), my dad had one of thoose when he was young, and when we got it for myself, he was really happy to see me on one of thoose, even if i was stalling like crazy, he was happy to see me not give up, he said if you know how to drive this, u can drive any motorbike, and he was right, one day he asked me if i wanted to go for a ride, i said sure, i was excpeting us to get on his BMW K1200LT, but no, we hoped on the Tomos APN on the Rieju MRX, and he took me through the forest paths, ik them now like the back of my hand aswell, but the 1st time we went there, i got my ass handed to me by a 49 year old man, on a Tomos APN, versus a 16 year old on a Rieju MRX which is a enduro, ive since sold my Tomos APN, had it for half a year, put it up on facebook, had 20 people contact me in under a week, im sad to see the Tomos leave our house hold, but i started making my 125 licence and i need money for a 125 at this point, my first driving hour my instructor asked me if i have riden anything before, i just said the Tomos APN. His eyes were filled with almost sparks. Half way done with my licence at this point, never fell on my tomos, or rieju, or licence, or many of the puch 250 sg, sgs, tf i have driven (my dad and i restore thoose puch's). Also ridden a 250 KTM crosser and a 500 V4 Honda Magnum, but the APN is still a special bike/moped in my heart and i will never forget all fo the good memories i have of it, its so nice to see it passed on to newer generations like myself, i just hope that more generations ahead of me will be able to enjoy the joy of the 2 strooke dur dur dur dur and the constant checking of the exhaust for blue gas incase u didnt give it enough oil.

[@AnonymousMod.]

The "weedwacker" noise you're getting is because of the exhaust pipe (or at least made a lot worst because of it). The bike you were on and by the looks of things most in the group are BiTurbo style pipes. These are "speed pipes". When I bought my Tomos it came with a BiTurbo that I eventually replaced (it kinda had the shit kicked out of it, arguable the whole bike did). If you're buying a bike with a stock pipe or it has a broken pipe I would suggest a Technigas style pipe. It sounds a lot less like a toy or fart can and it moves the power band down a lot. You WILL slide back on the seat a bit when the "forced induction" kicks in. It's stupid amount of fun. BiTurbo will give you a higher top end, but I find the lowered and expanded power band of the Technigas is way more useful in traffic. We are talking 5-7 mph anyway, you can get this back with a pack of diamond needle files from china and a couple hours filing the cylinder ports, tons of porting articles on the net. Have fun with your 2stroke turd :)

"Ask a cop" is unfortunately the WORST legal advice you can give. Cops don't have to fully understand or even know the laws they just have to enforce them which is why they say to argue with the judge not the cop regarding the law. Better advice would be to consult your local DMV and/or Department of Transportation for information regarding mopeds/2-strokes and their requirements/restrictions in your home state. Many of this information can be found on their websites. Other then that these do look like fun and fall into the catagory of "its more fun to ride/drive a slow bike/car fast then a fast bike/car slow."

[@PriestofHiroshima1]

Actually, he was spot on with his advice. This comes from alot of experience on my end.

Talking to a local officer in a small town about a gray area motor vehicle is "due diligence", not necessarily to learn the full intricacies of your local laws.

In the '80s automatic transmissions were very rare in the Netherlands, only 5% of the cars had one. About 3 years later I bought an '86 Caprice. :-D

[@NapoleonBonaparte5]

You can find lots of these in western Balkans for Slovenian reasons :)

Put an aftermarket 70cc cilinder on it, then it’ll have a lot more power.

@2:24... Amish horse buggy... Do a review on that!!!

[@mz4ahs]

I agree with this.

[@Uninfluenceable]

Regular Amish Review PLZ!!!

[@RyanS493]

Lmaoooo as someone who lives around and has grown in a horse and buggy neighborhood. I second this!

[@GradyHouger]

The buggy is half the story, the horse is .... imagine if cars had artificial intelligence that ran the engine, but it was the mind of a brain damaged dog.

[@SomethingFunny454]

It was a Standard Bred. Most likely ex racehorse. That's what all the Amish drive.

[@Preygrantess]

I owned a Tomos when I lived in the Balkans, took it wherever I moved and it never failed me. I only wish that I was able to bring it back with me to the States

[@miket.220]

I have an oil injected 2stroke Yamaha Zuma, '05 model. Love it, so much fun to blast around town in. If I lived close to work, I'd use it everyday. This Tomos looks like even more fun. Love these little oil-burners.

there's also 4 and 5 speed manual (49cc) but they're a bit bigger and can carry 2 people without a problem

[@obamacarreviews1043]

no it's a one speed the other gear is reverse

[@jessetz]

It's not. A Tomos has two forward gears and no reverse Source: I own one

[@aaronisgrate]

i live in PA and before i got my scooter i thought for the longest time, a 50cc scooter would fall under the moped category for not needing a motorcycle license. that is not the case. in PA, a moped can be registered as a moped only if it has operable pedals like a bicycle. i think one of these would actually be more fun than a 50 scooter.

[@MilsurpMikeChannel]

It still sounds manlier than a Honda Civic owned by someone who thinks they are from the Fast and Furious franchise because they have a few stickers, a spoiler, and loud exhaust on it.

[@bryanmartinez6600]

I loved my Civic for it's petite size that would fit anywhere and with enough K&Y jelly I can park it in a dog house. The fuel economy is great and maintenance is cheap but the ricers ruin this car.

[@charlieanddadreviewsandcha2243]

HERPY DERPEDY I respect the fact you drive it for what it is. They are exactly that a fairly cheap reliable source of transport with good fuel mileage.

[@jooojelle9924]

Bought myself a Tomos A35 standard in february and its hella fun! It did require some work at first but it hasnt let me down so far!

[@SaveThePurpleRhino]

I always wonder why mopeds is not more popular in chronic traffic ingested northern hemisphere cities where the speed mode for cars is either creep or full stop. I mean discounting the crappy Chinese made moped, the Japanese brand is actually reliable and durable. Heck, I have one that was made in 1998 and still going relatively decent, besides for some plastic panel that fell apart years ago. It has about 100 mpg and max speed of 50 mph and unlike TOMOS have an enough low torque that don't require pushing whenever I throttle away.

[@rhodesianwojak2095]

any suggestions for Japanese ones?

[@ECNRTube]

I'm a sedan/ large coupe man myself, I love my town car and my '76 coupe Deville, but man do these things look fun.

Got a green Tomos 3VX with around 200km under it's belt. Wife's granddad bought it in the 70's, thinking he would ride it but never got into it enough. It still sits in a shed with all the original components on it. I ride it around backyard from time to time. Thinking about bringing it to a village (population around 200) in which we have a cottage and riding it there. :) Doing water (and beer) runs on it and stuff like that.

Loved the 99.9 the Hawk refrence. Lol, they replay the same songs a lot, but every once in a while you get a good song. Also I want one of these now. You had me at "no motorcycle license required".

[@jxun4l3ht10]

With a 21mm dellorto, lil bit off the head gasket and a gianelli exhaust these things can easily go over 60mph!

[@centuryhelix8727]

jouna lehtiö and it'll be the scariest 60 mph of your life

[@rudedogg6674]

pussy

[@hojnikb]

you'd want bigger intake and exhaust ports and a bigger bore for that kind of speed.

[@kfoalbfkdkd5302]

Saben Coupland riding a moped at 100km/h is fucking scary but its awesome

[@Nele_BiH]

it is awesome and scary but it is problem to stop with drums i almost kissed i truck from bh trying ot stop it

[@SpawnoftheEd]

I always loved the Tomos. my friend used to have one in high school and i always wanted it.

[@Road2RacingPA]

Make a video and show us if you get one of these please!

[@mzaversnik2655]

Tomos might be the best moped manufacturing company ever. I owned tons of them, and i still have a 1987 apn6 and it still runs strong. Unbelivable. And parts are everywhere and easy to fix, but mostly they are very reliable

10:33 is honestly fire

[@orlandokaraoke3002]

I had a red targa lx. Sawed the back half of the muffler off, removed the rubber baffle piece on the back of the carb.. Used the factory oil injection just fine the whole time. And I will tell you that I definitely put a ton of miles on it! 30 miles into town, through town all the way to past the edge of town to a manufacturing plant each way back and forth to work every day. Even in the dead of winter, arriving half frozen. Getting to work at least a half hour before the shift just to warm up and recover from vibrating. They were purposely made to make modifications hard. Like the sprocket being close in diameter to the wheel hub. The tomos mopeds were absolutely reliable. If you lost your license from a dui, the tomos was a must have. No tag, registration or insurance required In SC at the time. And if you were suspended for more than 6 months time a real life moped license was had for a small fee and a written test. If you had a tomos, you would always be able to to make it to work. Granted it would be soaked from rain or half frozen most days. A step through bike with a cheesy motorcycle style tank slapped on.. Disabled veterans sitting at the bar all day and selling their pills loved a good tomos. And there was always that one guy who had been at the local motorcycle shop for 20 years could tell you off the top of his head exactly what was wrong on rare occasion when it stopped running correctly. At one point we were so serious about the things we had service manuals and would polish each and every tiny place of mating surfaces or anywhere air and fuel flows.. Lean down like race position, full throttle, and get exactly 37mph on flat land. Ah the tomos days..

[@slayerjohn447]

I had a 50 cc dirtbike for a while. 2 stroke, smoked like the devil's bum after eating hot salsa with lava for a drink, topped at 40 MPH, but that wasn't recommended since it lacked a formal transmission, just a clutch that drove basically a torque converter. Top end that wouldn't trash it was like 30. Had a headlight, and a voltage gauge. Took it out one day and didn't realize the rear tire went flat. Well it torqued out the rim and it spun INSIDE the tire and made it completely unable to be filled again. In this process it locked up the clutch and now it won't turn over.

[@biffy117]

I live 5 minutes from 309. This joke has made me laugh.

[@ronniedonahue9509]

I just recently bought a 2009 Red Tomos Sprint. I love it. Then I find your video, and now I want more.

[@NefariousElasticity]

I got one of these for free once because the owner abandoned it on our property. Engine was seized and I didn't care enough to rip apart a weed eater for a new engine, so I sold it for $100 to some guy on craigslist. Part of the reason you see people using shit like soda cans for their pipes and all this custom work is because the actual factory parts are rare and kinda pricey sometimes - like, a new oil pump assembly was gonna cost me somewhere around $400, when you could make it out of some silly straws and a sippy cup if you really wanted to.

[@willvandermeer4733]

I just bought 2 tomos targa lx! This video helped me decide what moped I wanted. Let the project begin.

[@sheeveington]

I really appreciate this review because I recently moved to the city of Wilmington, Delaware, and I've been riding a motorized bike I got for free and got running. It breaks down a lot and I haven't put much money into it, but a tomos will be a big step up from my 80 (more like 66cc) huffy. So I can relate to taking corners at speed!
