Im almost 16 and am looking at getting a geared 50cc motorbike(mopeds just make u look like a twat) my dad has had motorcycles all his life and currently on a suzuki bandit 1300 but cause his experienced(old age) the rules have changed

Ive had experience on bikes before ive ridden at out 40mph before off road and ive been 110mph on the back of the bandit

My question is can you own a 50cc de-resticted bike or is it illegal because going only 30mph between around 5 gears might be abit annoying
 
ask your dad for a pre 12bhp restriction 50cc like a suzuki x1 or fs1e yamaha old 50cc bikes were a f### site faster and still are get on and enjoy
 
er, its slow and boring for a reason.. primarily so you dont kill yourself.

yes its boring, yes its slow, and you still look like a prat... but youll live longer..

and thank Ant... coz when you take his advice, and have a crash youll know who to blame because plod will nick your for NOT having a licence, and your insurance will be invalid...

i know we all break the law, i did, and no doubt your dad did... but these days they jail you for it...
 
Legally, you must be restricted to 30mph as with ANY 50cc moped.

But, the chances of getting caught and prosecuted are near zero. And i dont know ANYONE who has been caught.

Ant

Edit: To fivetoze, whats safer to you? Doing 30mph, causing hazard on dual carraigeways and slow acceleration into main roads and into roundabouts, or a safer 40/45mph where you can keep up with the flow of traffic and have quicker acceleration to avoid dangerous situations and have a little more power to keep out of danger. With virtually no chance of being caught, let alone convicted.

You tell me.
