    Hey, Im 16 and will be turning 17 in the next couple of months.

    I cant afford a car and dont like the look of mopeds!
    Are there any motorbikes that are legally classified as mopeds?
    I think I remember seeing one years ago on Top Gear

    Thanks,
    Mark.

    pretty small too!
    there about 3 foot high with moped wheels.
    if your in anyway tall take a look at one in real life before setting your mind on one.
    insurance wont be fun at all.

    i skipped the moped stage so maybe someone has better advice

    If you can't afford a car, then you probably wont be able to afford the insurance on a Gilera DNA either...:eek:

    You can get a quote online from: AON BikeCare.
    Let us know what the quote works out at...

    I'm selling my Honda Varadero 125cc only group 2 insurance if your interested. Its the fastest most comfortable 125cc bike you'll drive. it has monoshock technology to which provides for great cornering also. I have it basically described below if your interested.


    It was originally bought and then imported from Spain to Ireland in October/November 2001 and registered for the first time in mid November so hence its a 2001 (Kind of 2002 but you know what i mean). Its in good condition, has new front tyre and brake, taxed till 01/07, serviced, 44k km, runs brilliantly (hence honda normally do), comes with a helmet worth 160 euro, a biker jacket worth 90 euro and 2 locks. Great accelerator with top speed 75 mph (120 kmph) before redline.

    Reason for sale is simple, i've had this bike for 2 years now and although i love it i just want a bigger engine now. As a matter of fact if your selling a Bros 400 let me know will ya cheers.

    I would be prepared to let it go for E1,650.

    I'll add more info later. If anyones interested i can upload some pictures later on.

    Cheers, Simon.

    you can e-mail me at simon44@campus.ie also.
