    Used to drive about 40 miles there and back to work Monday to Friday on my purple fizzy also gave pillion to a mate most lunchtimes to play five a side at the nearby sports centre. I can’t remember it ever going wrong. Still looks a lovely machine.

    Beautiful little bike. I remember in the 80s me and my mates riding these on the track abusing them. How times have changed. Following up from the other chaps message re, price slowing down, purely because of nostalgia these were bike from a certain era. Later models of moped will become more valuable because of the next generation however, i do believe the 70 mopeds will hold strong value.

    Had a couple of these when I was 16 baja brown one and a yellow DX,great memories of self tuning and holed pistons alspeed expansions. The price of these things has gone absolutely crazy there’s a lot of people out there with more money than sense.

    Nice one.....I prefer mine a bit "oily rag" and showing their age then you're not worried about that first stone-chip....and they are what they are. Each to his own. The demand is so strong for these....prices higher than a nice GT750 kettle. Cor blimey !

    I have a Honda SS50 5 speed disk brake model to retore runs like new with only 5000 mile from new also i have a AP50 for restoration. The AP50 only has 6000 miles on it . I will sell the AP but not the SS50 as it was my first bike on the road. Please get intouch if you want the AP as i need the cash to rebuild my SS50. Great stream i love these bikes but it would sound better with the sports exhaust . That screem as it came down the road in 1997 was great . 👍👍👍👍

    A friend (nut job on two wheels) did similarly, late in 1977, had a Fizz DX, then rode to the test centre on his 17th birthday on his KH250, then by 10am he was minus L pates and out on a CB 750. Between him and his dad, they had about 5 bikes in their garage at the time
