Should YOU start on a 50cc at 16 OR Wait for a 125cc at 17? | Pros and Cons | Yamasaki YM50-RE

[@runwaytapes]

I turn 16 tmz and I got a 50cc Yamasaki F60 2021 which came up about to £1100, absolute bargin and I’m doing my cbt in a weeks time so I will be able to ride

[@RellzMoto]

Happy belated birthday and congrats on the new Yamasaki! Ride Safe!

[@danr6716]

im glad i crashed twice on a 50, better to make mistakes and learn at an easier cheaper level.

[@benz6932]

Can the bike do 35mph brand new? Or does the engine need to be run in first?

[@RellzMoto]

If you’re talking about in terms of miles on the bike, then no it doesn’t. straight away it can do that

[@lxzqs5529]

I’m currently 16 and am going to buy this bike, but when I turn 17 I can get the engine swapped to a 125cc for around £500 by cbrs

[@RellzMoto]

That’s smart, I was thinking of doing the same. Let me know how it goes 👍

[@ParaxonTV]

I turn 16 in 2 weeks and have like £1.5k so i was debating whether to spend it on a cbt + 50cc bike in like January but i'm unsure lol might wait until I have a job to see whether it'd actually be useful or not

[@duncanandrews6727]

It seems to be running well, did you de-restrict it.

[@RellzMoto]

Yeah the bikes running pretty nicely, haven’t derestricted as of yet though, planning on doing it soon.

[@itsjustdarius5064]

How much would insurance be for 1 year for a 50cc moped because i just turned 16 and I can’t wait to ride but I don’t know the costs

[@nightsoundtracks]

if you live in the countryside i got mine for 280, thats on a honda supercub 50. however in london, ive heard it getting to over 1000

[@sync822]

do you need a CBT at 16 for a 50cc moped and if so then do you need L plates

[@RellzMoto]

Yes your correct! CBT at 16 for a 50cc moped or a 125cc motorcycle and you must have L plates, cannot carry pillions and is not allowed to go on the motorway 🤝

@@RellzMoto cheers, ill be looking forwards to doing my cbt

[@aspectz3152]

@@sync822have u done it bro?

[@sync822]

@@aspectz3152 Yeah man, I did it last September! It is not as stressful as I initially anticipated, just ensure you know some basic road rules and you will have no issues. I was confused with roundabouts on the day and even made a really serious mistake, but I was let off and the instructor briefly went over the roundabout I messed up on at a petrol station. If you are going for it have fun because it's a great day out!

@@sync822 oh that’s good news it sounds brilliant to be honest haha. what bike have u got? i’m thinking about getting a yamasaki YM50 re.
