Cheers Chaps. It is exactly 40 years ago this very morning, that as a fresh-faced sixteen year old, I was legally able to ride my first owned motorised two wheeler (a Yamaha FS1E) on the roads of Britain. I rode it to school, and remember feeling very cool, very cool indeed, and with my whole life in front of me. Ahh the exuberance of youth -- although these days, I would not be a teenager again if you paid me (lol). Thanks again Gents, and many thanks.
RE the Yammy Fizz. I had a Suzuki ER50 (30mph jobby) and took the 15/2 front sprocket from an FS1E to replace the smaller one on my bike which made it go an indicated 38-40mph on the flat but it died as soon as it saw a hill. Considering the ER50 was an attempt at a trails bike it seemed to defeat the object but it still had the edge on most of the other restricted bikes.
