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:(
