Some of us of a certain age 
must have had a moped in the mid/late 70s.
Couple of me mates had Fanticmotors,had an FS1E meself.
Got 54 mph out of it. . well thats what it said on the speedo 
Quite chuffed at the time,thought i was the kiddy 
. . couldnt catch the Fantics, even laying on the tank 
I had a Garelli Record-
brandnewretro.ie/2012/09/07/old- ā¦ pri-1971/a
Managed to over take a bus once, took me about half an hour. LOL.
Mates had Honda SS 50ās, FS1Eās, Garelli Recordās & Tigers, Fanticās, one even had a Puch Maxi !
Wish I still had mine, theyāre worth a few quid now !
Honda MT 50 trials bike then a Yamaha DT 175 to a Honda Cbr 1000 and a Yamaha Rz 350 Ypvs Imported from Florida in Kenny Robrrts livery.
Suzuki ap50, do you know what Iām struggling to remember the colour,think it was red 
,think it did just over 50 mph,nice little moped.
But the bike I would have back now if I could was my Kawasaki kh 250,all speed expansion chambers,bell mouths,the noise and smell of a two stroke ,couldnāt beat it,also had kh 400 and was it a h2 500 ,miss those two strokes,but the 250 was special
i had a suzuki zr50 
Wish i had the yammie rd 500 or the fzr 1000,have heard that the Tenarrs would shear the genitials over the high tank.
Great memories , started with a purple FS1E(FYC481N iirc) for a couple of months then a brand new yellow DX version (RYD277R) , last of the unrestricted models .
I had a SS50 a long time ago !
Moved on to a RD250C as soon as I could 
I personally didnt have a moped, but have memories of my grandads Mobylette, his was an N reg, havenāt seen one for years, then saw one for sale locally for Ā£300.
Oooh memories. A KTM 50 sport with a sachs engine and 7 speed box , same as the junior karts at the time. All noise and crazy wheelie competions were the rage.
Amazed I lived through those years.
BSA Batam, the nasty Spanish built mid eighties version. Actually quite good when it worked.
My mate had a completely illegal 250 Lambretta, we had miles more fun on thatā¦

Used to think we were the Late Great Barry Sheen, only with quarter his speed. Lol
I had a purple Fizzie too. Expansion pipe, clip ons the lot. I used to put Castrol R in for the authentic āIām a racing Godā smell! Mustāve sounded terrible, and I mustāve looked a proper berk on it. But hey, at 16 youāre Gods gift.
