What bike?

[Guest Guest]

I've just applied for my sons provisional and we are now after some ideas for a 50cc geared bike for him.

He has some savings so he could go for a new bike if he has to (would rather we didn't have to)

His already 5ft9", his well built and has a 32" inside leg, so a larger size bike would be better.

So folks any idea of what make or model we could go for.

Thanks.

We have looked at the Aprillas but he doesn't want a trailie, Its going to be used every day for school and has to be able to carry a great big back pack strapped to it too.

We would like to get him this, but its only available in France. Guess we could import one, how easy is it?

That would be very cool at 16

I might be totally on the wrong track here but i could swear i saw something similar at CMC chesterfield it would have been a while ago but it might be worth a phonecall

I think we are going to have to go down the twist and go route, it will only be for a yr until he can get a 125.

I'll look at them all at the show next week.
