That’s exactly the colour of my FS1E back in 85/6 it was 1977 model; sold for about £100 which is what I paid for it if my memory serves. It was always blowing up though
Had same model as this brought it 41 years ago when I was 15 for £70. Needed some work including outing the pedals back in working order. Saved up from working on the farm at weekends and a paper round and got all the parts off the shelf from midland motorcycle centre in Northampton. Loved the bike and rode it on my 16th birthday used it everyday for two years reg was SUW 136R don't know why I can still remember that?.
Left school in May 81 at 15 in August turned 16 got one of these and put a micron on it happy days a gang of us had these and ap50s happy times wish I had of kept it now knowing what they are worth these days
That's what I had aswell with the straight micron bars my mates had DT50s but the FS1E done nearly 55 lying flat on the tank with the wind behind you going down a hill happy days when £2 filled a petrol can
Morning Stuart should of said last night but I'm sure you'll already know but a good conversion for the FS1E was the YB100 engine seemed to be a tool back in the day 🤣😂
@@maybeinterestingtoday7650 WOW, must have been different gearing, I could never do that I had to pedal at a million miles per hour to even make it move it was so low geared. Just pushed it, it was easier 😁
Exactly the same autolube model, I owned at 16! Many memories from 40 yrs ago have come flooding back! Thanks for sharing 🙂👍
Me too
Now thats a nice fs1, in blue, a beauty 👌

Sounds like a similar story to me although I think mine cost £140
Had one exactly like that, UNK 975R, took the pedals off got another fly wheel cover and put pegs on it, like pedaling in first gear
So what happened to the peddle around the drive?

What crazy legislation led to forcing people to have pedals on a motorcycle? Just crazy!🤣🤣
i remember in the 1970s . the honda, puch & jawa. they didnt have gears. what is this 3 speed or 4 speed ?
Had a fantic caballero it had proper pegs and pedals that i took off .
Now lets see a vid of you trying to actually pedal it :)

I dont ever remember the blue...may not be a standard colour..
I had a blue one exactly like this one R registration.
First bike I bought was a blue FS1E still had a month's tax on it, a good conversion is a YB100 drops straight in
