Biggest pre 1998 affortable 50cc turd.

[styleheck]

So I  happen to be ''competing'' in a 6 day rally, from Hook of Holland (The Netherlands) to Edinburgh in Scotland. (and back if possible)
The downside of this rally, it has to be done on Pre-1998 mopeds/scooters with a maximum of 50cc.
It wouldn't be a challenge if wasn't modified, so I'm thinking about building a Japanese custom scooter inspired 50cc turd. Stretched and lowered.

Something like this, but far lower, and maybe some Bosozoku touches.


So now I'm in search of the biggest, fairly cheap 50cc scooter models available, the more 1980's the better.
Hope you guys have some suggestions and tips about what models to search for.

Thanks.

Second for the Vision if you can find one utterly reliable and unburstable in standard form or a SH50 City (curse word) Express you can get an 80cc version of the vision to make things a bit less tedious, there was also a way of tuning the SH50's which i think involved changing the top coil to remove the electronic cut off at 32mph.....

Yamaha BW50's were big(ish) fun and easy to derestrict for more than 30mph.

What about a Secma Funtech. They are the predecessor of the Qpod although basically the same machine. 50cc version is classed as a moped.

Doh forgot about Peugeot, a speedfight or vivacity both available in '98 from memory, reliable enough if not tuned, will do nearly 50mph by removing the restrictor in the variator, have seen a genuine 50,000 miles or km's showing on an ex pizza machine that had never even had rings....

Many thanks, some great suggestions here.
Last tip of Peugeot scooters lead to discovering the Peugeot SC and SV model range, fairly cheap, and there are a few of them for sale in my area.
