blitz supra Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Anyone own one of these?? Sold mine to a museam, Remember these ??? did you own one as a teenager Honda SS50 5 Speed I first owned it when i was 11 years old in 1977 and did it up in my Dads workshop, it was a 4 speed model red and with flat handlebars, I sparayed it blue fitted a tuned 5 spd engine and brakes and handlebars, , I started riding it in 1982 and sold it in 1983 when i passed my driving test, Even back in 82 i put a 72cc top end on it and had the fastest Moped in the village, even beat the fizzy boys, Anyway found it in 94 ( turns out same guy i sold it to in 83) Restored it back to its former glory over 12 mths and used it for 10 years on Summer days, However this time round i was a little more savvy with tuning, It has a 74cc top end geared right and i was clocked at 70mph on it (brave or what!) These are cult bikes now and if you have a Yamaha FSIE or AP50 in your garage you are looking at betwwen £600 - £3000 for mint versions. I sold it last year and its now in a Museam in Greenford.. Regret selling it as it was part of my teenage years ..But i visit her sometimes:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Had my fair share of Fizzies as a youff:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz supra Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 Had my fair share of Fizzies as a youff:) And i bet even now, you would still argue which was faster Fizzy or AP50 , Funny i went to a show and a few meets with it, and even now grown men were still arguing which was fastest, Then we'd have a blast down the road and my SS would slaughter the lot of them, lots of head scratching and people saying but these were slow if i remember right , I didn't tell them it had a 74cc top end..

Jake Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I has a couple of FS1Es when I was 16, a disgusting gold coloured one and a disgusting metallic purple one. As I recall the Honda S50 was quite unfashionable it was either the FS1E or Suzuki AP50 most guys (well kids) went for. Gawd knows why, they're all as ugly as sin really. Problem was the newer nice looking ones (DT50MX, ER50 etc) were all restricted to 30mph. The fastest moped kid in our town at time had a Puch GT.

rik Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 And i bet even now, you would still argue which was faster Fizzy or AP50 , Had 2 fizzys when i was 16. One had a racing single seat conversion and Micron expansion chamber. I ruled. Both of them would eat AP50s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
