I am looking to sell my 81 Honda NA50 and my 83 NU50M and buy something new. I'm looking for something that's more dependable, easy to work on, and somewhat easy to get parts for. I don't know much about the various mopeds that are available. I've been looking into a 78 Puch Maxi in my area with around 900 miles on it. Can anyone suggest a good moped or tell me what they think about the Puch? I don't want to spend much more than what I can get for my Hondas (I think that's about $600-800).
More dependable than a Honda? Good luck!
Here's the "A list" thought
Puch: any with the E50 engine
Minarelli V1 :this is an engine, not a bike, but a great deal of Italian bikes used it. This is a truly great little engine
Tomos: Any Tomos.
Honda PA50 II: A bit harder to work on, but it's case inducted with a dual variator. (edited)
Thanks for the suggestions.
any tomos
parts are easy to come by
wiffleball is smart.
VESPA!
Puch or Tomos... both have a ton of parts available.
Anything with a Minarelli V1 motor like Snark, General, Cimatti, Motomarina, etc.
I'll regret saying this but....1980 Sachs 1-D G-3.... (edited)
Don, good choice!
I'll agree with Don Sumpter. Sachs G3 is a killer moped.
