[Jack]

lol

You've not really given a fair argument there. Do you often drive long distances? Do you have lots of mates who would appreciate a lift anywhere? Do you not mind having no stereo etc or getting wet when it rains?

The other option of course would be find a car thats in a lower insurance bracket. I can't imagine a group one car being ?2.5k to insure.

[turbojolt]

sorry mate i dont mind driving or riding in the rain and i do have lotsof mates that would like a lift here and there but as my grandad says "**** THEM ALL"

and are any novas group 1 or 2

[NovaLad]

Mopeds are for 16 year olds as i found out between the age of 16 & 17.
Allthough they are fun i would much rather get a big bike if i was going to get another bike.

[Lee]

IMHO, if you live in london, a moped is a no brainer.

thank you thats what i thourght but i do not wont to look like a chav

[bosscav]

move out of london and ge a car lol

[Jack]

No, the lowest nova is a group 3 (1.0 or 1.2i)

Group 1 you're looking at small Fiats (Panda 4x4!), 750cc Mini, 2CV, Citroen C1/C2, Pug 107, Seat Marbella, Skoda Fabia, Toyota Aygo, Yaris, 3cyl Corsa C...

As said, a bike would be better than a moped but insurance would probably still sting you there. Plus, as I've always maintained, "Chav" is a state of mind, NOT what you wear/drive/do etc. Mopeds can be extremely chic in the right hands, especially in London.

[Stuart]

you may not want to look like one, but you certainly type like one :p

tbh pube lick transport in london is good enough to not need a car/bike at all so imho I'd opt for the car route but hey

[Mike]

FPMSL at this thread lol lol

i should have wrote before I'm sorry for the typos but i have been out on the lash today and sorry for that (well not that sorry lol)

but when were you last in London and have to travel to hertfordshire were you family live

[Lee]

Thats not really going to happen on a moped is it lol

SO youve answered your own question.

[turbojolt]

no i have not lol i can travel through multiple routes which i do not have to go over 40 mph for lol (i suck lol)

[Welsh Dan]

Vespa!

[scott.parker]

Pogo stick!:roll:

[NovaLad]

Vespas suck lol...

If your going to go 50cc then get a Derbi Senda 50cc with a 80 bore kit and pipe.

[turbojolt]

i have to agree hate vespers

but i have to admit i like the scrambler look

[Stuart]

where in herts?

[puss puss]

pretty sure a runner is capable for over 40mph bud, am pretty sure there one of the quickest mopeds (twist n go's) out there.

[draper]

why would you want to live in london anyway ??

[Stuart]

lol typical norvener question there.

[Jack]

I'm a southerner and I wouldn't want to live in London!

Although, I'd rather live there than anywhere in the norff lol

[turbojolt]

i don't wont to live in London and i will be moving back to st albans so0n

p.s i love X.E NOVA'S

Get the Runner! I had one when i was 16/17 i put a racing exhaust on it, new cluch springs, rollers and a 70cc kit lol To be fair it went like fcuk. easily read 70-75 on the flat and go off the clock down hill. Bit worring when it has a stamp on it not to exceed 30mph! ?15 tax and my insurance was ?115 and you get 100 miles to the galon easy. Makes sense in london, no congestion charge too. And with the money you will save running a 'ped you will save loads and a car will be possible as a project too. :thumb:

[turbojolt]

I'm now going to go have a look at a aprilia rs125

i have heard that i can put a aprilia 257cc engine in to the bike so that will be 50hp on a 10kg bike so should be fast lol

[NovaLad]

Get a aprillia RS125 bore it and pipe and it will go around 130 or more.

[turbojolt]

dose any one know some were to buy parts for it

[Nick]

I wouldn't want to be going anywhere near 130mph on a RS125.. it simply isn't safe.

Oh.. and i hope your insuring all this stuff ?

[turbojolt]

i don't think 130mph on a moped sounds to safe to be honest unless i try it down bovey airfield

[turbojolt]

oh and sorry its not a rs its a sr 125
