    MBK Ovetto/Yamaha Neo's, they are both identical bikes. MBK & Yamaha both build bikes for eachother. Good bikes for commuting, smooth and reliable. Not so good for tuning as they are heavy for a 50cc, but the useral yamaha tuning parts are avaliable if you wanted more power from it in future.

    as said its an mbk ovetto which is the same as a yamaha neos

    you dont find it suspicious that the guy you got it off couldnt tell you that? youd think if he had bought, registered, mot'd, taxed and insured the bike before he lost the log book he would know what make and model it was.........

    going by that id say its a yam thats had the seat replaced sometime wit an mbk one, is there nothin on the transmission case, vin plate or stamped into the wheels those parts usually always have makers name on. Try your vin on one of those online checkers or your reg on that site that says if its on the insurance database or not and it should bring up make and model
