Good choice, and nice colours on the bike.

Would be interested to see how it performs getting up to the dizzy heights of the urban speed limit. Just remember that if it looks like a bike, you ought to ride it like a bike, and not a twist and go, so wear the gear, and assume they are all trying to kill you all the time hehe

PS Dont bin it, the bodywork can tot up on those...

Err, just relax, listen to your instructor and most of all enjoy it. I can't think of anything in particular to advise you on. Make sure you have some decent boots and preferably a decent jacket too. Lid and gloves you can borrow although I guess you will be buying them anyway.

may only be 35mph mate but some riders i've seen cannot manage even that through the corners

bet it will be great fun and looks cool as well!

Blimey that looks mean for a 50cc... It'll do 80 derestricted that, but that's not a good idea to start with specially while running in... That might impair the life of the engine too... These are just infos by the way, not incentives

Reminds me of the time i got off my YZ125 and onto a friends RS250......... MX style starts are not for that bike hehe left the longest number one i've ever managed due to the skinny rear tyre.

Keep them clean and they hold their money amazingly well and with a few upgrades they'll go stonkingly quick

50 cc bikes rock , every one should do there time from 16 up over on 50 cc bikes awesome, i did mine suzuki zr 50 then had the money to get a derbi senda awesome they were . That was the old fashioned way i went from those bikes onto cb 500 which is a very underated bike then onto fireblade and now onto my heap of scrap triumph 675

dont de restrict your bike (till after you have done your cbt if your doing it on your own bike) also the law might have you if you de restrict your bike if you get your collar felt by a clued up police officer
