Im looking at gettin another scooter for the summer.

It is a speedfight not a speedfighter, they are shit, handle shit, alot harder to tune them properly and they are unrealiable.
A mate had a brand new one and it spent more time off the road than on it.
I did my cbt and it took half an hour to start because it was cold and it was only a year old.

I call them speedfighters i know its a speedfight.
A few of my brothers mates have speedfights,and theyve never had any complaints and they dont seem to have much trouble tuning them.
and theres loads on http://www.pug-club.co.uk/index.php who would agree with me.

yes you need to have a full bike license
if your under 21 you need to do a tes on a 125 then your restricted to a bike of less than 33bhp for two years, they you are free to ride anything
If your over 21 you do a DAS test on a 500cc bike, you can then ride anything

Big up the 50cc 

This was just the most fun ever, 400cc pocket rocket, I'd have another one if they weren't so old:

And yeah Ben, over 125cc you need a full bike licence.

Bike tests are getting harder than they used to be apparently. When I did mine, I stalled on a busy junction, holding up traffic and causing someone to do an emergeny stop.
And still passed
