Who says you cant register as a 50cc and put a different engine in it?

[-ry!]

cos you can get done for it

you won't because it costs police around £500 to get someone out to test the BHP... So they don't do it. But never the less its too expensive to get a new engine in it, not worth time may aswel ether get a cheap bike n let it last a year or wait for a car.

I've had my moped, a 1979 FS1E, since March and it's been some of the most enjoyable experiences I've had.

It's great for the first time being able to go places! Me and my mates used to moped to the sea front for a 'burn', taking a back-route with a great flat-out section which we all loved (myself more because mine was the fastest! ). It's also my primary transport for getting to work now.

Depending on what you get if you unlimit them they can go between 38-55 (55 is my best, although I slipstreamed a bus), or more if it's an Aprilia but unless you want to spend more time at the side of the road than riding it's not one I'd suggest. My insurance is fully comp and £500, simply because it's worth about £2,000 and with a company that specialises in classic bike car insurance.

Don't worry about slowing cars down - you won't. Car always pull out but I've never been hit (you get some days where everyone pulls out and you're like :@!). I remember after my first week like wanting to get rid of it, but I'm so glad I kept it.

so yeah do it
