    Exactly the same bike.

    as already said, its the am6 engine (same as the rS50)

    tbh, give it a miss and get an auto, dont bother with gears until you are 17, seriously changing gear 6 times and still only doing 50mph, the novelty wears off after about 3 weeks. The am6 is a good engine as standard, however a second-hand one is more than likely thrashed to buggery therefore will need a rebuild. chances are it will have been over-revved through every gear too.

    I'm not having a go at geared bikes, i had one, senda 50, loved it but the chances of finding one that hasnt been knocked down too many gears or topped out down a long hill is pretty remote, at least with an auto, the limit is in the gearing.

    Look out for pitted forkes, bent chassis, damaged swing-arms, broken spokes, worn chain and sprockets, worn breaks, leaking forks, bad electrics (check its charging properly), wheel bearings, swing-arm bearings, head-stock bearings, shock linkages (especially if its got rising rate shock) and clutch slipping. Im sure theres more to look for but i cant think off the top of my head.

    I could have this for 350...

    He says the forks leak but it might pass an M.O.T and the back tyre and the mudgard are not such a big deal but I've never heard of the name before but it looks simmiler to a senda so maybe there the same underneath? I don't want a auto atm... my aerox was good but it came with loads of problems that me my dad and my brother could sus sometimes like the rollers nd that I'll only have a geared 50cc for 4 months then I want a DTR125 :) I've never had the chance to ride a geared bike but I can sort of drive a car but I don't want to jump stright on a 125 without a clue

    /\ tell me what you think? I'd go have a real good luck if you guys thinks its any good? Not having a M.O.T really puts me off but the bike looks cleanish in the pictures ;)
