Who had a Fizzy? 

Ap50 went faster and handled better 

If the rider of one of the bikes was half a stone heavier than the other one, then the bike with the lighter rider would win. These things are critical when you have 5bhp, or whatever it was. In truth there was little to choose between the two, but in my experience the Fizzy had the edge over the AP50.

Agreed! 

Although one of my mates had an MZ 50cc which was Czechoslovakian and was the fastest 50 around!   

I had a Kawasaki AE50 which had been tinkered with and was almost as fast, but I could never quite keep up with the MZ or another mates Fizzy. 

Arr yes the ugliest bike on the block but it beat us all  Dont forget a shot of castrol R and a tank swirl

Thanks for all the tips . Plenty to choose from , i was thinking to get diesel anyway but was unsure if they suffered the dreaded fuel pump packing up  On the issue of recalls , i presume if the work has been done there will be a certificate or something and if its not been done ...contact the stealers and they will fix foc 

ts what I call my "enough" car
Comfy enough
Big enough
fast enough
practical enough
economical enough
reliable enough

..... exactly whats needed

« on: 29 August 2017, 12:15:57 »

In most cases like mine you just wouldnt get back what you spent on it getting it in top condition. Would not part with mine for no less than £1500 as thats whats been spent including price of the car

A nice cavalier will do you  Try and find one that dont need work though . The 2.5 are fetching big prices and decent mk3's are becoming rare
