    This video is very helpful. I'm a first time buyer for these scooters/moped. so I'm watching all videos to find a good one get. I will start out slow & work my way up to the more powerful bikes once I complete the motorcycle course at my local college. Thank you for posting it.

      Glad my video can help! I have now got my A2 licence and will shortly be posting a review of my new bike, stay tuned if you are interested!

    Just bought one of these for £450 + £50 delivery. First bike, license goes valid in December - can’t wait to ride it.

    DAMN! 100m per gallon?!?! I must get a moped just like this! I love everything about this moped. Now I don't have to catch the diseased busses! Thanks a lot for this review mate.

    • @Assassin26Uk
      @Assassin26Uk  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      no problem :) also a good bike for consideration is the geared Kymco pulsar s125 for the same price and insurance (review coming soon! :D)

  • @deiyekin502

    I got the same one in a different colour! It's a good bike in my opinion :) Nice video!

  • @Assassin26Uk
    @Assassin26Uk  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    although i thank you for this advice, i have been motorcycling for many years and i understand everything i need to do or to maintain to keep my bike in good health

  • @Assassin26Uk
    @Assassin26Uk  11 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    @Mathew Ingham the top speed depends on your weight and road,
    I am VERY heavy and tall and i get 40-45 mph on a standard straight flat road but anyone slightly lighter can get 50 mph easily (my dad did) travelling up hills may vary and i'm afraid it is different for every hill. This is not the fastest 50cc but it compensates with its smooth handling, big wheels and easy driving style. If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask. :)

  • @Assassin26Uk
    @Assassin26Uk  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    will do, happy to support fellow bikers!

  • @Assassin26Uk
    @Assassin26Uk  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    thank you for your contributions, this will be very useful to all the new bikers out there (by the way the recommended oil is pp2 semi-synthetic 2-stroke oil) fully symthetic can damage the components and reduce the bikes reliability or overall use life even if it does seem like a better option for the bike. Be warned what oil you buy!

  • @c.a8134
    @c.a8134 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the video I was hoping to find more
    I just bought one but it's not been used yet untill I do my cbt end off the month it's been sat in my garadge for 1 month so I'm hoping a kick-start is all it will need as I'm keen to start using it.

    Best review of the Kymco Super 8 on youtube. I have the same model, also 2 stroke 50cc and same colour aswell. But i have a little problem, it wont pull more than 35 mph. So may I ask, how did u derestrict it, and what should I do to make it go faster like your does? :)

    • @Assassin26Uk
      @Assassin26Uk  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Andrej Gorgiev I took mine to my local dealer who sold me the moped, i am not sure what they do to de-restrict it so you will have to look it up on a forum (maybe this? www.kymcoforum.com/index.php?topic=455.0) or ask a mechanic for that. To ensure you get as much out of the moped as possible, ensure the bike is serviced regularly (once every 6 months is recommended by the handbook) also use good quality oil, i like 2-stroke rock oil, not the cheap Tesco stuff or anything! Correctly inflated tyres and keeping the moped in general clean condition can never harm it too. Overall i have made no significant modifications after de-restricting it. A final piece of advice, NEVER use premium unleaded petrol in the moped as i find it does not agree with it.

  • @bumbaclart4073
    @bumbaclart4073 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Sorry man I did not mean to cause trouble but thanks for telling me cost of petrol, much appreciated.

  • @Assassin26Uk
    @Assassin26Uk  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Fuel efficiency is basically the same for both 2 and 4 strokes of this capacity. 4 strokes compromise power for slight efficiency but it is barely noticeable (maybe 120mpg to only 110mpg) 2 strokes are faster in the long run.

  • @SWCoastBodyboarding
    @SWCoastBodyboarding 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cheers! I meant to delete my comment after I saw you mention it in the video. But thanks for being specific. I have 3 weeks to decide on my moped and beggining to wonder whether it is worth it's $2000 AUD pricetag hahaha :)

  • @Assassin26Uk
    @Assassin26Uk  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    @3DAxew you should get around 45-50 mph mate once restricted

  • @Assassin26Uk
    @Assassin26Uk  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Dj Danis for me it cost £300 for 3rd party fire and theft through kymcos recommended lexham insurance

  • @Assassin26Uk
    @Assassin26Uk  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @mower123petrol it I've very reliable, no parts have gone wrong but when you first buy the bike it may be worth asking the dealer (if the bike is brand new) to re position the cooling vent closer to the engine as it does get a bit hot otherwise (this can be covered in the dealers warranty) a de restriction is a good choice too as it completely changes the bike and it is even better to drive

  • @fairyheli2
    @fairyheli2 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I can get the same speed on my 4 stroke 50, but I only weigh 10 stone. Are two strokes that much worse on fuel? I might want to get a faster 50 as you don't need a bike test, just a car licence and a single CBT

  • @Markko1986
    @Markko1986 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cool bike.

  • @Assassin26Uk
    @Assassin26Uk  11 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    60 mph is fantastic! for a 50cc mine did 45ish but i am far heavier due to my height and size. PS keep in mind the outer set of numbers on the speedo is in kph, mph is the little ones on the inside. Your 60 mph may actually be kph ;)

    • @jeremyhaught5047
      @jeremyhaught5047 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Ben Deane i ride a 2004 TGB 50 cc 2 stroke and the kph are the small # under the larger mph #'s.. just saying... most china made bikes are like what your talking about..

    where can i get this bike i really like it. how much did it cost and how much is the insurance.

    • @Assassin26Uk
      @Assassin26Uk  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      I purchased my bike from a shop called Roadrunner In Stroud, Gloucestershire. It cost £1750 from new plus £100 on the road fee. Insurance cost me £300 fire and theft cover for the year when i was 16 years old, that company is Lexham insurance. I am currently selling this bike so if you are local you can take a look, it is on the market for offers around the £800 mark. I hope this helps :) www.roadrunnermotorcycles.co.uk/ www.lexhaminsurance.co.uk/

      @Assassin26Uk  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      2 stroke is recommended and the kymco is perfect as its better value and still comes with a 2 year warranty

    @jackjones429 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi mate great review. I'm turning 16 in November and looking to get one of these bikes. I would probably need to get it de-restricted as I'm heavy lol. Can any bike shop do this ? And will it affect the mot ? Thanks mate. Ride safe

    • @Assassin26Uk
      @Assassin26Uk  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Jack Jones, any bike shop should be able to do this but i advise a dedicated dealer specialising in mopeds or small bikes and if you can get to a Kymco dealer great! MOT will not be affected and if the ped you buy is new you do not require an MOT for 2 years anyway (maybe 3 i cant remember).

    • @BigFrojo
      @BigFrojo 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is illegal to ride a de-restricted moped at 16, after that I believe it's ok.

    • @Assassin26Uk
      @Assassin26Uk  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      BigFrojo Yet 80% of 50cc mopeds with 16 year olds on them have been de restricted, there are no official checks and nobody really cares. Police cant enforce petty matters like this, saying that i am in no way trying to justify doing this, it is done at the owners risk and liability and is their own fault if they are caught or fined. Thank you for your input.

    • @BigFrojo
      @BigFrojo 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ben Deane The problem is, if you are in any kind of accident. it invalidates your insurance. Or if you were pulled over for somethings else and they find out it's de restricted then that will add to your bad luck. Seems fun where you are, where I live no one at 16 would ride de restricted xD

    • @BigFrojo
      @BigFrojo 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      BigFrojo Just to add to that, if you were unlucky enough for the old police to not have a liking for you, they will take it off you, crush it, give you 6 points and a £300 fine for driving without insurance if it is de restricted.

  • @Assassin26Uk
    @Assassin26Uk  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Roadrunner Stroud (Official Kymco dealer), £1650 (i think) plus £100 tax and preparation charge, and 16 years old. If you need any other help please ask

    practicality not just style

  • @bumbaclart4073
    @bumbaclart4073 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    50cc only goes up to 30mph Im sure of that because I am thinking of getting one when I get my CBT to go to school and police cadets and back again. How much is it to fill the tank? How much is your insurance?

    • @Assassin26Uk
      @Assassin26Uk  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Have you watched this video review at all???? Yes all 50cc mopeds are RESTRICTED to 30mph but can be de-restricted to allow them to go faster!!! Tank costs around £6-7 to fill up depending on petrol station price rates. I rode this moped for a long time so i know all the in and outs of it. In the future read previous comments on the video and actually pay attention to what is stated in the review, it saves me and you a lot of time and correspondence.

    • @Assassin26Uk
      @Assassin26Uk  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was yes! I felt it was both safer to keep up with traffic and also a bit more entertaining! It is something done by most teens with these

    • @jamesflint460
      @jamesflint460 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Ben Deane ah right thank you, also one last thing, what did you do if the police were following you? Because surely they should know that you shouldn't be going over 30

    • @Assassin26Uk
      @Assassin26Uk  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +James Flint it is a bigger problem if you are in a city, I am not, police never once troubled me if I was doing 40 on a 40 road. If you are doing the speed limit and not drawing attention to yourself by driving too fast or making lots of noise with aftermarket exhausts then you won't have a problem! Police are more interested in other things!

    @Assassin26Uk  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @ Mathew Ingham the top speed depends on your weight and road,
    I am VERY heavy and tall and i get 40-45 mph on a standard straight flat road but anyone slightly lighter can get 50 mph easily (my dad did) travelling up hills may vary and i'm afraid it is different for every hill. This is not the fastest 50cc but it compensates with its smooth handling, big wheels and easy driving style. If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask. :)
