AJS Barletta 50 - Freedom - Retro Scooter

[@AliasMrHackenbacker]

I don't know why I missed this video when it came out. I'm a big fan of these little scooters. I bought a retro 125cc scooters about 8 years ago after getting my son a SYM 50cc. I was always borrowing it to run errands, pop down the shops and just take down country lanes, so I decided to get one myself as it saved the faff of togging up and getting a motorcycle out just to do a round trip of 5 miles. I'm retired now but have kept this scooter and still use it all year round for short trips, having said that I have also been on some much longer runs with the local scooter club.

[@TAYM]

I loved riding this little thing 😁 even at 30 😁

[@AliasMrHackenbacker]

@@TAYM I love riding any 2 wheeler provided it's got an engine, not into this peddling lark! Over the years I've had some crap bikes but they were still fun when they ran!

You have just created what could and should be the official video for AJS to use in an advertisement video. The town centre shots were brilliantly done and entertaining. Well done you and your film crew 😂. TAYM also to be sometimes known as TAYS 😂

[@davidross5730]

Inspirational - I haven’t had a bike since I rode 250s on a provisional licence in the early 1980’s - bought the Barletta a few weeks ago from Davey Bros in Ipswich - perfect for zipping around Woodbridge and the the surrounding area on a summers day - love it 👍

Thanks DR 😁 I enjoyed it too, can you tell 😁

[@joetocchio9666]

That was a first class effort TAYM! Thought for a bit you were going full on Freddie D. what with the styling jeans and the Skechers!!😅. You have to be one of the premier guys out there now, camera work and content are great. Personally, I have dropped some other channels for various reasons mostly because of the agenda or the "shictck". But you're a genuine guy , entertaining and informative. But mainly the joy motorcycling gives you is apparent, and for me that is what I get out of my riding. Thanks and keep up the good work 😊.

Anything that gets people on 2 wheels is great by me, my first bike an NSU Quickly lad very swiftly to a Honda CB175 while still 16 in 1970. Never learned to drive a car till I was 29 years old. Many many bikes later I am now on a Royal Enfield Classic 350. My bike is still my favourite form of transport and I will be 69 this May 😊

[@TAYM]

Thanks PC 😊 I think that’s the same for many of us and hopefully would be the same now😊

[@dinomalta712]

We have a Peugeot 125 Speedfight scooter ,Mrs Dino LOVES to ride it! Even uses it for her work as a Mobile Hairdresser, I often use it for shopping, to save dragging Enfields out, round town unbeatable, longer trips don't faze it, as it has a fair lick of speed and keeps up with traffic, no I lie , it's faster than traffic and allows us to command position on the road. Cheers DINO and PANDA [ Mrs Dino].

[@TAYM]

Thanks D&P😊 yes in Europe they seem to be a lot more popular 😊

[@Big_DT]

Mr. TAYM, Talk about a departure from the Naughty Boy bike series, the pendulum has definitely swung to the opposite side. Love, absolutely love, the new format, great shots of the town and countryside. BTW, I also love the standard mutter format, so maybe I'm just a fan. Back to the bike, I agree with the freedom and gateway drug aspects of a scooter for young people, and I also see the very practical use cases for in-town riding. The one thing that has me scratching my head is the use of an internal combustion engine. The electrics really seem to shine for this type of use and really have very little maintenance burden.

[@TAYM]

Thanks DT 😊 nothing wrong with electric scooters and I am sure they work well in towns but I don’t know about for commuting in rural locations. I did a 13 mile commute (each way) for a couple of weeks with any problems or worry about charge. I would love to try an electric for the same sort of time and same journeys. It would be interesting to see. 😊

[@Big_DT]

@@TAYM Indeed, it would be.

[@timparry5028]

Well. This is a bit of a departure from the norm. Most enjoyable and marvelous. Great bit of filming. We also get to see the real TAYM. People never look like you think from listening to them. I always imagined you to be a rather handsome chap!!!!!!! Well done

[@TAYM]

😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant 😁 thanks TP 😁 I know, I have had it all day about me punching 😂😂😂

[@davidklementis5913]

Awesome video! You need to give your in town camera person a raise 😉. It's good to see the guy behind the videos. I had a Honda Elite 50 early in my riding career as well as a Yamaha Vino 125 a little later. Biggest reason was it was way cheaper to commute on with fuel, maintenance and parking than a bus pass and more convenient then my big bike. Little did I know it would be so fun. I will choose a motorcycle if I can only have one but love having a scooter as a backup. I'm probably going to sell my Spade mini moto in spring and replace it with a 150 to 300cc scooter. The freedom it can bring to younger and older people is very true and often overlooked by many. I always keep in mind as I get older or my medical condition worsens and I'm unable to handle a motorcycle, I will be able to transition into a scooter to maintain some freedom of mobility and fun.

[@TAYM]

Thanks DK 😊 I think for rural kids it could be an eye opener and a key to freedom and fun 😊 as it was for us 😊

[@icedidi]

gameboy 🤣🤣 - maybe 30 years ago. A motorbike / moped at 16 is such a liberating experience I think all 16yo should do it. At 16 I had to move 15 miles out of town, my DT50 meant I could still get to work and see my friends. I can't believe how many 20-somethings never learn to drive or ride, especially at my place of work. WSMV posted a vid last week in which he was riding a 50cc moped he bought for his daughter, was great to see given the number of parents that consider motorcycles death machines yet happily encourage their children to ride pushbikes on the road!

[@TAYM]

😂😂 thanks Ice😊 yes, it’s crazy isn’t it😊 the freedom we felt back then😊 absolutely spot on 😊

[@robertharris5453]

Ahh, 16, my Batavus 50cc the freedom the adventure, I never looked back still riding 44 years later. I hear your message.

[@Stefan_trekkie]

Mr. TAYM, this is the first time we see you, I believe.. Marvelous .. As you know I love scooters and it is like you said - there is much more to then then meets the eye. The best thing is theirs casualty .. You just hope one with normal clothes and ride in the rain.. There is no chain to clean, nothing to worry about. To add something else .. Scooters have few sub categories themselves and I love them all.

[@TAYM]

Thanks Stefan 😁 absolutely spot on 😁

[@mikestewart7322]

Ah ha, that’s what you look like. Great camera work on this vid. Makes a load of difference with somebody doing the filming. What a fantastic little thing the Barletta is. You don’t mention the price point but I’m thinking £2500 ish, could be way out. It is Chinese. So efficient round town and not shabby on country roads. I’d avoid the A14 obvs. Have you had it two up? Great video matey, in fact as one of your other fans said, it could be an AJS promo video. Excellent, splendiferous, marvellous. ✊️😊🛵

[@TAYM]

Great video and lovely little scoot. Makes me want to get out there and have some fun on two wheels. Thank you

[@TAYM]

Thanks BB 😁 such good fun 😁

[@Grumpy-Goblin]

Morning TAYM nice to see you 😉.These small capacity bikes and scooters are marvellous and could be the answer to so many issues of air quality and congestion in our cities if those in charge weren't so blinkered about electric being the answer to everything. These little things are everywhere in many European cities and that increases interest in motorcycles generally. In the UK we say you have to be 16 to ride one but the problem with that is that parents say if you wait until you're 17 we'll buy you a car and a year is not long to wait if you could ride one at 15 then I think you would have a much greater uptake and that would translate to a higher percentage of youngsters moving on to bigger bikes. Cracking video well done to Mrs TAYAM for her camera skills.

[@TAYM]

Absolutely spot on Mike, brilliant idea😁 they could be the saviour of the motorcycle industry and who knows, even the planet because one things for sure, it’s not going to be electric vehicles 😁

[@crumblymal8479]

Well TAYM it's not a Hornet 😂but a bit of a surprise ! AJS with an Italian sounding name how strange is that .I think Mrs TAYM is going to want one of these to run around on and you won't be able to say no because you just got the Thruxton 😉.Electric start kick start and a center stand there is a lesson there for many manufacturers I reckon .Well a great starter bike and a very environmentally friendly way to get about ,their should be a lot more of these type of bikes on the roads just imagine how much better it would be ! less traffic jams less fuel consumed cheap to insure I would think win win win . Now that brings forth the all important question and that is what's the price ticket on this frugal little run around . Super ! 👌👍

[@davewalton2358]

Had a Kymco 250 scooter for a couple of years a ways back, and a little 100cc Yamaha Aerox smoker before that, absolutely the most practical getabouts and loads of fun! Fantastic around town, shedloads of space under the comfortable seat for groceries, grog (hey, what now?) or a picnic lunch. Did a few trips on it too (the 250), sat on highway speeds and more without a care, and fantastic on fuel. A mechanic mate still has it and uses it to collect car parts and his lunch from town, doesn't miss a beat. I've contemplated getting another a few times, but I have an eye on a RE Classic (350 or 500) as they just look like I should own one. The accountant has warned me off getting another bike by hiding my wallet and shooting me dirty looks...

[@TAYM]

Nice little scooter, I had never ridden a scooter in all my 40+ years of biking but last year just fancied giving it a go. After a false start I bought a BMW 350cc and love it. I got rid of a car when I retired and use the scooter for getting around but because of its comfort and engine capacity it can do much more like sit quite happily at 70mph on the motorway two up, think it does about 90 or just over top speed. Used it through this winter heated seats and grips, big top box so far only avoided the really frosty mornings. I did think at one point it’s all I need but then get on one of the bigger bikes and realise it’s not all I want so it compliments rather than replaces them. I like the idea of the smaller capacity but I’m a 30 mile round trip to the nearest town so feel I need a bit more👍

Glad to witness a complete lack of bike/scooter snobbishness. They all have an engine and 2 wheels.

As you might remember I`ve been away from 2 wheels for about 10 years and I`ve been looking at scoots but in 125 capacity, as you say, twist and go, it`s too easy, have to take a closer look. Fantastc clip, by the way, very film-ic liked it, would have loved to see your normal trip to work on a workday in more traffic, maybe that`s to come when they deliver that Modena 125..Like the scooterboy togs, but no Parka, sacrilege!

There are always hidden but usually easy ways of getting that 30mph up to 40mph as well. On my son’s, it was just a case of blocking two vacuum tubes that limit the throttle response. But don’t tell Mr Plod about that. 🤫😂

I have to say though TAYM, if I had the funds there'd be a Vespa ensconced in the man-cave. The AJS looks a great little runaround, and to me it looks a tad Lambretta-esque.

I had to think about this one. Great video, very nice scooter, well done all the way around. Now here in my state in the US you can ride a 50cc bike/scooter. At 16, they can get a motorcycle endorsement if they have a drivers license. Meaning, if they have the money, could commute to school on a Kawasaki H2! So scooters aren't the answer to get more people on bikes here. I don't think a young person lusting for a chrome Thruxton will not get a scooter to tide them over 😂

[@TAYM]

😂😂😂 yes it is very different here, 16 50cc, 17 125cc god knows how many tests and a few years before you can dream about a speed Triple RR. 😂😂😂 saying that, at 15 I dreamed of gs1000 and cb900 and still bought 50 cc moped at 16 🤔 thanks JW 😊

Looks like AJS will be looking for you to show their 125cc motorcycle range and I believe they have a 250 cc now. Very well presented video, my loved it.😊👍

[@TAYM]

Thanks JI 😁 I do hope so😊 that would be marvellous 😊

[@louharco]

Love it. Want one. And so affordable!!

[@MerciaMoto]

Bostin review of a crackin scooter! Love the footage of you riding it around the town top marks to the camera operator and director. I can see a real growth market for scooters as car ownership becomes more and more restrictive. You have rapidly become the common man’s Missenden Flyer only much more modest and better looking 😁

[@TAYM]

😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant 😂😂😂 yes, Baby TAYM is a wiz with the camera 😊

A fantastic video as said some nice video work Mr Taym or was it Mrs Taym 🤔 keep up the good work and ride safe.

[@TAYM]

Thanks Steve 😊 it was Baby TAYM 😊😂😂

[@marcuslawler8575]

Hello TAYM, still lurking and enjoying the great content. Loved this review but I do have one comment: now we've had the big face reveal and having previously seen Mrs TAYM....you are seriously punching, fella!!! Good work 👏.

[@TAYM]

😂😂😂 I know 😂😂😂 just don’t tell Mrs TAYM 😂😂😂

[@NooBiker]

Brilliantly put together. Now I almost want one for the London commute... but maybe I'll stick with the Himalayan 😅

[@TAYM]

😂😂😊thanks Noo😊 yes, people would think you were about to rob them 😂😂😂

[@favoriteblueshirt]

Looking forward to the AJS '71 Desert Scrambler review that looks lovely in orange and only a £housand more,

[@TAYM]

It would be great 😁 I hope they let me have one😁

Morning Mr TAYM, loved the format. Buzzin round the town, made for cool videography, and nicely edited together. I had a Peugeot Django 125 for a while, great fun, and easily did 50 mph. Bought it to go on a rack on the back of the motorhome, but sold it when we realised it was too heavy 😳🙄. Anyway, great video.

[@TAYM]

Thanks Ian 😁 you would have no weight problem with this 😁

[@albarclay4882]

Good looking little scooter. Really liking the new style videoing as well. Don't know who took the video of you and the scooter in Bury, but they did a great job.

[@TAYM]

Thanks AB 😊 it was Baby TAYM 😁

[@lilynorthover8378]

I'm overjoyed with this! The Barletta is so sweet. Perfect for women. It's a low seat, for a scooter, it's light, under 100 kg I think, only £2000 + OTR and does 120 mpg! Also for anyone interested, they are supposed to be bringing out a 125cc version later. If you are going to be naughty, I would wear Moto jeans though. The first time I took a 50cc on wet grass, I fell off and lightly banged my knee. Was OK the next time 😂😈

[@TAYM]

😂😂 thanks Lily😁 hmm wet grass, what you needed was the AJS Desert Scrambler 😊😂😂😂

[@lilynorthover8378]

Watch this space 😉

Rather taken with the Cadwell as well. If only I had a bigger garage 🙄

Our village has just lost its bus service into the city centre. I live at the top end of the parish it is 1.5 mile walk to catch a bus operated by the local main operator. First time in over hundred years the village has no direct route into the city.

[@TAYM]

Yes, it’s getting terrible 🤔 they are making it more and more difficult for us to have personal transport and cutting back on public transport. Thanks CB 😁

[@WyreForestBiker]

Am I the only one with no sound during the walkround ???? What a great little bike though , I never saw that coming ! ... The styling is spot on as so many of these Chinese small capacity bikes are , they seem to allow the stylist's to have a free reign and allow their vision's to make it to production rather than being watered down along the way.

[@TAYM]

That’s Strange🤔 don’t know🤔 sorry DJ

[@WyreForestBiker]

@@TAYM No problem just thought you should know. I think the audio is missing from the walkround section ... maybe you need to re-edit and upload again ?? ...I'm no expert though !!

[@lilynorthover8378]

I don't know why, but this happens to me on Rest Day Riders channel. I just put subtitles on. TAYMs is fine for me.

[@splodge57]

Walk round sound was fine for me.

[@WyreForestBiker]

*UPDATE ! .. just watched on main TV and NO problems ??? , checked back on laptop and same problem persists ?? ... anyone know why on earth this could be ?🤔😕😕

[@thesilverfoxtravels6653]

Some really good camera work there, I’m assuming it was Mrs TAYM doing that for you. That’s a brilliant looking bike too, but the wife wants to know who was the chisel jawed, Adonis lip-syncing to your voice during the walk round..? 🤣🤣

[@TAYM]

😂😂😂😂 I know we have never met but I love Mrs Foxy 😍😂😂😂😂 it was Baby TAYM on the other side of the camera 😁😂😂 thanks Foxy

[@loftysaltmarsh69]

Who’s that bloke doing a great impression of Mr TAYM ? 😂👍

😂😂😂😂 thanks Lofty 😊

[@ruahinesrider]

I see on April 29 in NZ 🇳🇿 they've having the 50cc Scooter run from Napier in Hawke Bay to Wellington for a fundraiser.By car it takes 3.5-4hrs from Napier so on a 50cc Scooter probably take 4.5-5hrs 50kmh the whole way.

[@TAYM]

Brilliant 😊 thanks RR 😊 sounds like fun 😊

[@ruahinesrider]

@@TAYM Be good to film 🎥 a big bunch going pass.I'd say they'll spread out pretty fast.

Scooters are absolutely Marvelous especially in town you're laughing you're having much fun.My mate has a 90,250 & a Bergman 650 Scooter which is HIS most comfy bike HE loves them & he got R.E 650 & a Harley Davidson. I showed HIM Quadraphenia & he thought it was marvelous.

[@ruahinesrider]

Well produced video TAYM probably the most polished video yet well done. I can imagine you blatting around the stables on it.

[@ruahinesrider]

I saw a old guy on a scooter with a super light weight roof & screen & rides to the Supermarket & round town.

It is marvellous and has so much audacity 😂😂😂

[@CornishMotorcycleDiaries]

Well I never, TAYM is a real person, lol. Scooters are undoubtedly cool and I'm looking forward to getting out on one or two in the near future. I don't want to worry you, but there is a distinct similarity to the great one himself, Yes Uncle Stu?? just sayin' 😉

You forgot to stop at Starbucks for a latte . TAYM goes trendy and F Dobbs Esq has to look to his laurels ! If the Barletta were a dog , it would be a ShitZuh [ I think that's how you spell it ]. Thanks , but No Thanks . I rode a scooter once . PS . joking aside ,it's a very well made video .

[@franklowry4852]

Great video! Nice scooter! How much fuel does it hold? What kind of fuel milage does it get? It might be a better alternative than an electric motorcycle if there's a gasoline apocalypse. Oh gosh: I've been watching uncle Stuart too much!🤣

[@TAYM]

😂😂😂😂 thanks FL 😊 133mpg and holds 6.6 litres 😊

[@2wheelvintage361]

Nice review, and all the power you could ask for! 😂😂 Any idea what the fuel mileage is?

[@TAYM]

Thanks 2WV 😊 I think about 120mpg 😁

[@TriumphBeezaman]

Quite surprised with their web site the specification is almost a service data chart with part numbers, even Triumph won't give you that .
