Well... As most of you probabley know my beloved TS 50 was stolen from me afew weeks ago :(, still not been found so last week we thought it was about time to try and find a new mode of transport.
We looked for days on end (If you want to make a small profit in life, buy and sell 50cc non-scooter-type- bikes!!) untill we found this little gem on ebay. A Derbi Senda X-Treme 50 R. The guy wanted £1,200 for it, however we managed to get him down to £850!!!
Its a "restricted" :p 50cc enduro bike, needs a new chain & sprocket and im replacing the tyres for piece of mind.
As it was the night we got it back after a quick wash:

Whilst washing it though, the front L plate parted with the mudguard lol, so i made a super-cheap one from red insulation tape which actually looks quite good, i also wire brushed and re-painted the exhaust in satin black high-temp paint. Totally transforms the bike:

£850 + £450 insurance, not too bad i dont think. Especially seen as its 08 plate :d
So, shall be turning upto the next NW meet on this now instead, and its ALOT quieter :p
