well an accurate way to record the top speed could be achieved by finding one of those yellow box things on a pole at the side of the road in a 30mph zone then go past it flat out lol ....they will send you the result in a couple of weeks, with a photo and everything[}]

I used to have a C50 in blue. I bought it because I couldn't afford the petrol for my car to visit my girlfriend (she had a Yamaha QT50). That girlfriend has now been my wife for 28 years!

I think it was something like 75p a gallon and I could only afford enough for my drive to work which a round trip of about 35 miles. The additional 8 mile round trip to see Liz on top of that was just too much. Half a gallon in the C50 seemed to last forever by comparison!

Brother got a C50 to commute on when he was 16 then discovered it was not restricted so he had to wait until he was 17 to ride it. so he then gota Honda Melody moped which was a hoot!
