Cheap, fast, reliable 50cc

Hello everyone, im new here, i want a good 50cc scooter, i have been looking at runners but there are not many around and a bit highly priced, can i have some help please.
Thankyou! :cheers:

 

If you want cheap, fast & reliable, get a camel.

 

airr your such a knob lol urm piaggio motor scooters are normally favorites so gileras or piaggios. But anything really, its as reliable as you make it, look after it and it looks after you.

 

i agree with Samaroo get piaggio engined scoot. And if you want reliability don't tune it and use good quality 2 stroke oil

 

get something like a zip, typh, nrg etc.. runners are quite expensive and thieves find them very attractive i would recommend a zip u can pick one up pretty cheap they handle nice and there quite quick

 

Thankyou for the help everybody. I want to tune it a little but i still want it to be reliable, but im not too sure how much money i would need to spend and what kind of speed i will be getting?
Thanks

 

My votes for anything Piaggio, but in particular, the Zip! :good:

ive been looking at the NRG's, i do like them, thank you for that guide, very helpfl!

 

Have had 3 they're good. Mite be cheaper and more reliable to get an air cooled one though. No real performance difference but remember the liquid cooled has a rear disc brake

 

There is a lot of different models of the NRG, what is the difference?

 

They all are pretty much the same just different paint jobs over the years. They made a major face lift i think around 2006 or so when they made the NRG Power model. I prefer the older MC3 style. Air cooled is pretty self explanatory and the liquid cooled had a water pump and radiator like a car. LC is supposed to be faster but the AC is lighter so I think after having both its a much of a muchness. I guess I would choose air cooled as there is less to go wrong and its slightly cheaper to buy a bore kit for.

 

okay, i prefer the older nrg's, i am probably going to get an air cooled one, but i nee a good pace to get the parts from that guide? sorry, im a bit useless lol
thanks! :grin:

 

Scooter Center(Germany), SIP Scootershop, Ebay to name a few. Make sure you compare prices. Can you fit yourself? If not some scooter shops are funny if you bring your own parts and want them to fit it. You want to start with an exhaust but with that comes upjetting and lighter rollers and stiffer clutch springs. If you buy a new exhaust they usually come with the rollers and springs but not the jet. No one can just tell you which jet you need its trial and error. Don't buy an air filter unless you have a larger carburettor. Its fast enough standard but if you start tuning, you will be hooked and there will always be something more you want for the bike! Just remember parts wear down quicker with tuning so if you are on a budget and want the best reliability and economy, keep it standard.

 

Thankyou for them, and yeah, i do want to keep it quite standard as havent got te money to keep replacing wrn out buts, i will be able to fit the parts myself too which should save some money :grin:
Thanks mate
