Hi guys. I've just moved house and am looking for a cheap moped/motorbike to travel to work on every day as i want to keep the mileage down on my pick up and the Estelle.
Ideally i want one that is MoT'd and ideally would like an MZ or CZ up to 125cc, but anything considered. Looking to spend around £150

ebay is your friend mate. there are often MZ TSs on eBay. I'm picking mine up soon I'd offer you my current bike (its not quick, but you don't need a lot of petrol for a lot of miles ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ) but its part of the deal with the TS. Your daily drive? Is it all in town? My bike does 40mph on a good day, but its quite good in a way. 1/ you can thrash it everywhere and not worry too much about speeding 2/speeding generally doesnt have to cause you too much stress however, out of town...its awful! Simson S50 - highly recomended. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ![](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/skodanorman/MZ/PC160107.jpg)

I now live on the outskirts of Gainsborough, but my commute to work is down country lanes.
Been looking on Ebay but the MZ's on there are fetching good money, more than i want to pay. Will have to try the next Newark Autojumble i think.

I'd certainly want more than 50cc's deffo then down country lanes. I've not actually looked at MZ prices because this was pre-arranged. However, I [my dad...] bought my bike last Christmas for £180 and thats actually a bit over the going rate.
Have you tried the MZ Riders Club?

I am a bit embarrassed to say this, but I do have a 1988 YAMAHA JOG scooter sat in the garage. It last ran about a year ago and now the battery and tyres are flat. It was v reliable and used by my mate. He went abroad and I had it off him. It's yours for £40. 50cc with V5 docs etc. I am in Stamford in Lincolnshire, just up the A1 from Peterborough.

Just from my own experience you DON'T want a 50cc if you're riding on lanes. Cars will be on top of you far too quickly and make the most ridiculous impatient maneuvers to get round you which will eventually result in you getting hurt. Get a 125 minimum for your own safety, you need something that can do at least the speed limit to be able to ride it safely IMO.
