Background
---------------
I have now had my RS50 for about a year, and use it regularly in summer months. It's a great way to get out onto the road and earn a bit of independence even when you do not have a car.


Advantages
---------------
Great start to riding.
Fast in relation to engine size
Pure fun
Independence


Disadvantages
------------------
Squeaky scooter noise!
No fuel gauge
Expensive spares


Comment
------------
The bike simply looks fantastic, it doesn't sound great, but that is because of the engine size and the tiny engine, but to have in the garage and to parade to your mates, it is simply wonderful. It is also a great starter bike if you plan on upgrading to something a bit more poky in the future. It gives you a great feel of the balance and speed that a motorbike can give you. I have ridden a few other things, of the road obviously, since buying this and it has certainly made me much more confident about stepping up to something a bit more special in the future. The one negative is that the price is fairly steep, but for the fun you are getting, it has to be worth it, in my opinion.
