The top speed of these really depends on what you’ve had for breakfast
Just like a peel p50
In the olden days, TOMOS was a MOTORCYCLE company. And they won races. Lots of them. The race bikes would cross the 100mph limit with ease.
Jeremy Clarkson
Brgnalf81 100mph? How obscene
😂
You just singlehandedly drove up the prices of the Tomos.
Anything he looks at does
Buy one in Holland there are a million of them for sale. You can even get ones from 50-150 euros
It's Marty and the Australian Daihatsu market all over again.
10-15 years ago, you could still get base models starting at 7-800.. the same ones are like $1750 now if you can even find them
@@jseden I have one for sale for $1200.
"It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow."
thats why I ride a old ass Triumph!!
riding a fast bike fast can be fun too lol
@@connorwaits6575 yea but that is because you can... with a moped you can't. But you could.
One of the reasons I have a 50cc scooter for city commuting. The most fun on wheels I've ever had.
@@erikpark buy a europeen moped 50cc supermoto with a manual 6 speed trans omg that shit is fun
I sold a lot of Tomos bikes in the 90's in the Netherlands. We used to say to the customers who couldn't decide between Puch and Tomos "Don't go for the Tomos, they're cheap and more reliable than a Puch so we don't make a lot of money on them". Tomos customers were happy customers!
Then the Chinese 4-stroke scooter era came, because for some reason, everyone wanted a 4-stroke.
Never seen so many warranty cases.Out of warranty? Then the repair costs were higher than the moped was worth. Change the oil too late means end of engine. Broken conrods, pistons, valves, camshafts and cracked heads. Servicing the survivors was/is expensive (more parts to check than the simple 2-stroke). But hey, they were cheap when they bought it!
Seen too many angry customers and i went on to another job.
For 30 years i ride a motorbike, usually in the winter or bad weather. Boring but it takes me from A to B.
In the summer, i ride my moped. Love it, even after all those years. It takes me from A to B, then to C, to D, and so on.
I still want a nice example Zundapp to this day.

@@MrRemokmok Nog steeds op de weg met die KS50?
Robert Polkamp zeker!! Heb ook een 517 staan en een 517 met 125 cc blok eronder
My puch moped is very reliable but i never hat a tomos so i can't say relly
Story time!
The year is 2001. I was 17, young and stupid and living in a town called Hoorn in Holland. I recently totalled my Piaggio NRG and needed wheels to get to school and work and stuff. I bagged one of these bad boys for 150 euros and that became my mighty steed. It got hopped up a bit with a 70cc kit, I upgraded the carb from the stock 11mm to a Dellorto 21mm and stuck some or other sports exhaust on it (think it was Gianelli, can't remember). It would hit 80kph easily but make no mistake: 80kph on something with the structural rigidity of a flacid penis just after it's seen Susan Boyle is scary. Like holy fuck scary. I could wheelie the thing for days, it accelerated like a trooper and the shove it gave when swapping in to 2nd gear made it double the fun as it was like accelerating all over again.
Thing thing was trashed or crashed every other day, it persisted in rain, snow, hail, sleet, salted roads, no cover, it was hands down the most unloved, most abused piece of machinery I have ever experienced in my 33 years of existence. And the thing just never gave up. Ever. Every single day I'd kick it a couple of times and it'd just fire right up, like an obedient labrador who's just been given a shot of adrenaline or a line of cocaine early in the morning. I eventually fitted a top box so I could carry all my crap around with me and sold it 3 years later to a friend who I've since lost contact with. Real shame, I'd love to know where it is now.
That thing carried me all over Holland day in, day out. I must've racked up 30k kilometres on it (that's what, 28 miles? Dunno, yanks are weird) and it just went on and on. All those stories you read about people who have their fondest memories in their first cars? Hell no. Not even close to the memories I have, and all of them with my trusty Tomos by my side.
Actually, fuck it. I'm gonna find one for sale. Thanks for this Mr Regular, always nice to see Tomos getting a bit of love.
Clapham888 klinkt stom maar altijd gedacht tot ik deze video zag dat tomos nederlands was
18k miles. Divide by 5 then multiply by 3.
Great story. Almost made me sad to see these things slowly vanishing off our streets, then I heard one drive by two streets over and realized we have e-bikes nowadays.
nameloos 99 Tomos had very close ties with Holland. The Dutch division helped develop a few models and their factory made loads of them. Tomos even made bikes for Puch at one point. Saying Tomos isn't Dutch is wrong as the Dutch helped make Tomos what it is today :)
Frits Felix And Zundapp & Kreidler :)
Never had either of those but my older colleagues used to tell me the most epic stories of theirs when they were youngsters.

Best part
A fully rebuilt, upgraded and serviced model with some cosmetic issues is just 1500 where I live.
FourEye which state do you live in?
NY when I'm not traveling; there's a moto-shop in Long Island that sells some very nice rebuilt models for under 3k usd.
Dude, I was born in Yugoslavia, and that was the sound of my childhood.
My first love that propelled me to a love for motorcycles.
And you my friend just NAILED IT with entire story behind these bikes. They are poor children's hero
In Indiana all we have to do is be 15 and pass a 10 question road signs test
That’s really all it is,
No lights required
No two stroke bans
No inspection
No insurance
$26 registration fee
That's great
These are what drunks without a license ride.
@Ron Krzaczyk in Pennsylvania it appears this isn't an option for those with suspended licenses, and that's unfortunate, folks still need transportation, and buses don't always run or go where you need to go.

In entire Yugoslavia except in my town Novi Sad(in Vojvodina) where, for some reason, it's called "Zoljica"(little wasp).
That uncle description was very specific. Are you okay, Mr. Regular?
Any true fan of RCR knows that Mr. Regular is definitely NOT "okay"
"Okay" is a relative word to describe Mr. Regular.
"Okay" is a relative word to describe Mr. Regular.
It perfectly describes a whole lot of little shops in rural pa. Drinking out of a half gallon of Turkey hill and spitting your Copenhagen juice on the ground.
He's a writer.
Brings a tear to my eye but Tomos was forced to shut down it's production earlier this year, due to being unable to pay it's workers and repay the debt they were in. R.I.P. TOMOS, you will be missed...
I wondered if anyone would notice the loss of our two wheeled metal horsie makers.
Rip Tomos, For all Wallets Broken, they made a Bike that was Smokin'.
Fun fact: Tomos was actually racing with these mopeds vs Honda Suzuki and Yamaha. The racing was insane, the racers literally wore spandex onesies with no armor whatsoever. I think Tomos actually made about 15 horsepower from a 70cc engine. Pretty amazing stuff. Just read that their 50cc race bikes could reach 205kph!!! And it was also written that they made an engine that had 357hp on 1000cc displacement. What the actual fuck
megaman mooshrom holy shit
Wow now I think they were even more underrated
The 357hp part is beyond imagination.
As in, NO.
Oh this brings me back to when I was 15 in the late 90's and I was getting by on my Puch Montana -82. It was older than me but my first proper relationship.
In Sweden, if you lived in a semi rural area having a moped was our first taste of freedom. Mopeds without license were limited to 30km/h (25mph roughly) but they were built for about 70-75kmh and most people hade them running at least at those speeds. All you needed to do was remove a little plug in the gasoline intake of the carborator. And you were set for 70kmh. Then you switched to a more efficient exhaust and the next step was to get a bigger carborator and you were doing 80-85kmh. So you switched to larger out gear since you had so much "excess power" and you had a "moped that ran 90-100km/h that you could take off road whenever the cops tried to stop you... And you knew those back woods like the palm of your hand so the cops were chanceless.
And the engine was so simple, it was the perfect way to learn how it combustion engine works. My crank shaft gave up on me and I had to replace it and clean every part of that engine from residual metal. Took me about a weekend with the help of my step-dad and afterwards it went even better... Oh the memories... Riding along with my friends when I sold it I felt like I was losing a family member. It was such a great time growing up and seeing a bit more of where I grew up.. Thank you for reminding me of those times.
Puch Montana was a great bike for me. Going on road trips and getting to give a ride for that girl you'd had a crush on for ages because you were too young and scared to actually ask her out. That feeling of her holding on to you, trusting you...
You made this a year ago but im in my mid 20s and just recently moved to chistlehurst. Got a puch x10 to get me about and i feel like a trouble maker haha. Everyone comments on it.
I'd be interested to see someone do a proper test of how accurate those speedos were, given that 100kmh is more 125cc territory for 4-strokes, and a 2 stroke typically doesn't have twice the power for the same capacity. I know the clock on my 125 is decidedly optimistic at higher speeds (nudging the 10% legal allowance for inaccuracy, when tracked by phone), who knows how far out the one on a moped meant for less than 50kmh (...did the speedo even read beyond 70~80k?) would have been, in an age before easy GPS verification and the like...
This is almost the same story that my dad tells me, and i never belived him on his word, outruning the cops, the forrests, but yea, i own a Rieju MRX 50, starter bike for me, before that i owned and learned how to drive clutch on a Tomos APN 6s (also 50), my dad had one of thoose when he was young, and when we got it for myself, he was really happy to see me on one of thoose, even if i was stalling like crazy, he was happy to see me not give up, he said if you know how to drive this, u can drive any motorbike, and he was right, one day he asked me if i wanted to go for a ride, i said sure, i was excpeting us to get on his BMW K1200LT, but no, we hoped on the Tomos APN on the Rieju MRX, and he took me through the forest paths, ik them now like the back of my hand aswell, but the 1st time we went there, i got my ass handed to me by a 49 year old man, on a Tomos APN, versus a 16 year old on a Rieju MRX which is a enduro, ive since sold my Tomos APN, had it for half a year, put it up on facebook, had 20 people contact me in under a week, im sad to see the Tomos leave our house hold, but i started making my 125 licence and i need money for a 125 at this point, my first driving hour my instructor asked me if i have riden anything before, i just said the Tomos APN. His eyes were filled with almost sparks. Half way done with my licence at this point, never fell on my tomos, or rieju, or licence, or many of the puch 250 sg, sgs, tf i have driven (my dad and i restore thoose puch's). Also ridden a 250 KTM crosser and a 500 V4 Honda Magnum, but the APN is still a special bike/moped in my heart and i will never forget all fo the good memories i have of it, its so nice to see it passed on to newer generations like myself, i just hope that more generations ahead of me will be able to enjoy the joy of the 2 strooke dur dur dur dur and the constant checking of the exhaust for blue gas incase u didnt give it enough oil.
"Gregg rulz ok" night in the woods reference I LOVE YOU
I swear I have watched every video on this channel at least twice and I somehow missed this reference until now XD
Being Croatian, this review is very relatable.
Thanks RCR.

Not really a bike person, but the way you reviewed this made it really fun and interesting to watch. Neat vehicle.
Small displacement motorcycles (Honda Cubs, Vespas mopeds and similar bikes) are a blast to ride in a group. I am a huge America car loving guy that has old school large displacement V8 rides (Lincolns and caddy's from the early 1970s) that generally weigh in at 5000+ LBS but my friends and I go out zipping across so Cal on some goofy tiny bikes, Honda ct90, Honda ct70 (which is a street legal mini bike)) a cub 55 andd a buddy that has an insanely fast small frame Vespa honestly it is way more fun then my couches on wheels when we ride together, that being said it is sort of embarrassing when I have ridden by myself... Traffic forms behind you and everyone gives the strangest look but in a group for some reason people cheer and give thumbs up.
Tomos and their mopeds are legendary here in Slovenia, surprised to see them on RCR! Keep up the good work!
Old 2-strokes are awesome, my grandma has a 70s Motobecane in her shed, sat for +20 years. Dumped some fresh fuel in, pedaled and it smoked into life.
Can you put an LS in it?
Banjalukajemojgrad. Depends. How close do you want to be to death?
Banjalukajemojgrad. No you put the bike on the LS.
You could strap it on the seat, but i think sitting on top of a working LS is not really comftorable(a bit less softer than a male oriented bycicle seat(that is harder than the packing material(penoplast/ foam plastic) of computer monitors or tvs) and the heat is not really good for your pants and or genitalia, no matter the configuration.... Then comes the lack of safety, or actually "What is safety, i like broken neck after accelerating 0.3 seconds" safety level.
INNIT? No. But behind it... he he he
No but you can put a CR 125 in one and itll be faster than anything with an LS1 till 70.
"I hope im not single-handedly driving up the prices of tomos'" The midwestern craigslist only has tomos' over $1000. BOIO
They’re up at $3100 on NYC craigslist. It seems hipsters are catching on
Aidan Smith jesus thats expensive, I bought my project tomos for 100€. While it was still running, just needed some cosmetic work.
Theo Andersen I got lucky and just picked one up for 200, in Northern Wi. My brother down in North Caroline could get one for under 300 every week if he wanted too.

I'm from Slovenia, and after spending much of my teens on a Tomos ATX I can vouch that everything he said about it being fun is true.
Slovenian, born in 1987, Slovenia became European Basketball Champion and RCR releases 1987 Tomos motorbike. Feels like in a twilight zone. But the good one.

When I was 5, I had a calendar with pictures of all the Tomos models of the time. I remember dreaming about owning the dirt-bike one. This video was sooo nostalgic!
Did you ever have one Tamas?
Lol night in the woods reference in the beginning
As a legit, big-boy, grown-ass-man motorcyclist with a goddamn Ducati; I. Love. Mopeds. Holy shit, I love mopeds.
I've owned a Puch Maxi and a Magnum, a Motobecane Moby 50v, and I was literally shopping for a Tomos last weekend.
tehd3thst4r yes another puch owner
Me too, I ride my Monster 1100 when going outside of town, but in town I ride a Vespa 150S, got a PM Tuning full pipe on it and a few other bits, luv em both!
Puch Maxi rider here. Mopeds rule.
Same here, when I switch from GSX to my Babetta (you might want to look that up).. that reassuring feeling when I twist the throttle and pretty much nothing happens.
And apparently Homestarrunner as well!
I live in italy, in the 80s and 90s 50cc were really popular cause you could drive'em at 14yo w/o licence. It was hell, everybody changed the muffler and mod the rest of the bikes. It was a really noisy and and smelly period
Sounds like heaven
hippobonzo Sounds like heaven
@@rutilus_rutilus its still like that in italy, the only thing that changed is that you need a sort of "mini" driving license
In germany "MoFas" (litteraly bike with helping engine) are actually quite common and popular *and really expensive*
My a35 tomos lx blew a piston ring at 70 from leaning out going down a backroad hill. Pulled a fresh one outta the under seat storage, pulled the head, slapped the ring and jug back on, and rode it home. Sun didn't even go down. Loved that ped
So Mr. Regular, did you have that very same uncle in 2008? Because that was very.... specific.
Mr_Shift3r do we have the same uncle too or are there a lot of uncles that fit that description in PA
Ne me jebat. Tomos was a thing in the states? Hah, awesome! Greetings from Slovenia.
Matevž Malenšek jst tudi nism vedu hahaha
Ane, samo še fičko in katra manjkata.
Golden bullet barvna shema za avtomatika je bla celo ekskluzivno na voljo samo američanom ;) pr nas ga nisi mogu dobit. Jebiga - Jugoslavija je rabla devize
Pa Yugote so jim tud izvažal - z ful ene dodatne opreme.
peter bukovec nism sploh vedu za ta model, po zvoku pa sm takoj prepoznau da ne automatik :-)
sm bolj ljubitelj avtomobilov, tako da vem za vse ameriške anekdote jugiča, Tomosova zgodovina pa nekako ni bila javno in širše spisana, da bi prišla v zavest ljudi. Verjetno je tudi krivo da je Tomos zadnjih 15 let bolj žalost kot ponos Sloveniji, pa se take stvari pozabijo.
btw, kolega mi je povedal, že dobrih 10 let nazaj so se Tomosi pojavil v epizodi Orange County Choppers, se najde clip na youtubeu.
So cool. I had an old Tomos when I was a kid. Commuted to high school with it for two years. If was very reliable, you couldn't krill it. I could get up to 45 mph going down a steep hill. When I got my driver's I gave it to my brother who tried to modify it and blew the engine the first day.
Love the night in the woods reference 👌🏻
Those bobber mopeds were pretty cool
they were
thats the sort of thing id do if i had one, that stickerbombed one was awsome
Had a Tomos Targa LX, awesome scooter. Rode the crap out of that thing, was indestructible! Also here in Canada they did not have to have pedals on them so they had regular foot pegs and a kick starter like a normal motorcycle.
As someone who’s owned several Tomos’s, your Golden Bullet had an A3 motor. The A55 didn’t come out until 2003 and was designed to produce fewer emissions.
The "weedwacker" noise you're getting is because of the exhaust pipe (or at least made a lot worst because of it).
The bike you were on and by the looks of things most in the group are BiTurbo style pipes. These are "speed pipes".
When I bought my Tomos it came with a BiTurbo that I eventually replaced (it kinda had the shit kicked out of it, arguable the whole bike did). If you're buying a bike with a stock pipe or it has a broken pipe I would suggest a Technigas style pipe.
It sounds a lot less like a toy or fart can and it moves the power band down a lot. You WILL slide back on the seat a bit when the "forced induction" kicks in. It's stupid amount of fun.
BiTurbo will give you a higher top end, but I find the lowered and expanded power band of the Technigas is way more useful in traffic. We are talking 5-7 mph anyway, you can get this back with a pack of diamond needle files from china and a couple hours filing the cylinder ports, tons of porting articles on the net.
Have fun with your 2stroke turd :)
hmm
I own a 1976 puch maxi s and absolutely love the moped community

Awesome comparison

Why? He had EXTREAM fun doing it :D
Oh man, imagine if you had ridden a Tomos APN 4!! It's the same thing, but with MANUAL TRANSMISSION!
Those things are everywhere here in Serbia. BTW, gg Slovenia last night!
you can even mod those fuckers with a 5th gear.
Anderson Artan or apn 6 was the thing with plastic windshield, lol...yeah gg, from Slovenia..
Anderson Artan sadly manual mopeds are basically nonexistent here because a manual box turns it into a full blown motorcycle in the eyes of the law here
Thank you so much for reviewing a moped! Once again, something other big car reviews would never do. They are beautifully simple machines.

This Video brought back a lot of memories from my youth, thank you very much.
Hi. Thanks for posting. I bought one of these from Woolworths in England in 1983. My first bike. No pedals, no indicators, no battery but for £300 a new bike that never let me down in 2 years of ownership and 8000 miles. Changed chain, rear tyre and spark plug, but never any issues. Thanks its nice to hear one again. These haven't been sold here for many years. All the best

I owned a Tomos when I lived in the Balkans, took it wherever I moved and it never failed me. I only wish that I was able to bring it back with me to the States
I'm from the Netherlands and I owned a Tomos when I was 16, had a lot of fun with it. I loved to hear the shifting of the 2 speed automatic, it sounded just like the shifting of an American car which was my ultimate dream thanks to the Dukes of Hazzard, The A Team and Knight Rider. In the '80s automatic transmissions were very rare in the Netherlands, only 5% of the cars had one.
About 3 years later I bought an '86 Caprice. :-D
I've owned multiple between the age of 12 and 18, and what's worth noting is that these bikes are significantly faster than stock because of the after market exhausts. Seriously, just an exhaust and a larger carb-jet will give you a 50% top speed increase.
This is way kids lobed tomos. Its soo easy to make faster. Even tho nowadays every1 rather buys scooter, the company Tomos lost it teputation. It was very big once, now it has just 30 workers...
"Ask a cop" is unfortunately the WORST legal advice you can give. Cops don't have to fully understand or even know the laws they just have to enforce them which is why they say to argue with the judge not the cop regarding the law. Better advice would be to consult your local DMV and/or Department of Transportation for information regarding mopeds/2-strokes and their requirements/restrictions in your home state. Many of this information can be found on their websites. Other then that these do look like fun and fall into the catagory of "its more fun to ride/drive a slow bike/car fast then a fast bike/car slow."
Actually, he was spot on with his advice. This comes from alot of experience on my end.
Talking to a local officer in a small town about a gray area motor vehicle is "due diligence", not necessarily to learn the full intricacies of your local laws. Fucking lol though if you think your local DMV knows more than your local cops. More time wasted waiting for them to look up the shit in the same reference manuals you've already read, without any of the built rapport.
theclinger I legit just had that experience XD I just sat there waiting for this 50 year old dude to spend 20 minutes googling the laws.
Our local cops think my permanent collector plate on my 1976 Moto Guzzi should have a year tab but DMV doesn't agree.
Oh man! SOOOOOOOOO many memories just come spilling out of my teenage memory department.
Damn. You can hear the happiness and excitement in Mr Rs voice all through this :D
Gregory Lee is the ruler of all
wanna ride my Honda grom? I'm kinda local... I'm in falling water wv near Hagerstown
I just recently bought a 2009 Red Tomos Sprint. I love it. Then I find your video, and now I want more.
"The joy is you're actually moving."
With a 21mm dellorto, lil bit off the head gasket and a gianelli exhaust these things can easily go over 60mph!
jouna lehtiö and it'll be the scariest 60 mph of your life
pussy
you'd want bigger intake and exhaust ports and a bigger bore for that kind of speed.
Saben Coupland riding a moped at 100km/h is fucking scary but its awesome
it is awesome and scary but it is problem to stop with drums i almost kissed i truck from bh trying ot stop it
@2:24... Amish horse buggy... Do a review on that!!!
I agree with this.
Regular Amish Review PLZ!!!
Lmaoooo as someone who lives around and has grown in a horse and buggy neighborhood. I second this!
The buggy is half the story, the horse is .... imagine if cars had artificial intelligence that ran the engine, but it was the mind of a brain damaged dog.
It was a Standard Bred. Most likely ex racehorse. That's what all the Amish drive.
I just switched from a Honda moped to a Tomos (Netherlands) and I'm instantly addicted. These things are an incredible amount of fun! Especially when you're doing 40mph down country lanes. Great video.
AWESOME CAN HEAR THE FUN IN YOUR VOICE
10:33 is honestly fire

I always loved the Tomos. my friend used to have one in high school and i always wanted it.
You made me do it. Watch this video a while ago, watched it again and bought one
It still sounds manlier than a Honda Civic owned by someone who thinks they are from the Fast and Furious franchise because they have a few stickers, a spoiler, and loud exhaust on it.
I loved my Civic for it's petite size that would fit anywhere and with enough K&Y jelly I can park it in a dog house.
The fuel economy is great and maintenance is cheap but the ricers ruin this car.
HERPY DERPEDY I respect the fact you drive it for what it is. They are exactly that a fairly cheap reliable source of transport with good fuel mileage.
I always wonder why mopeds is not more popular in chronic traffic ingested northern hemisphere cities where the speed mode for cars is either creep or full stop. I mean discounting the crappy Chinese made moped, the Japanese brand is actually reliable and durable. Heck, I have one that was made in 1998 and still going relatively decent, besides for some plastic panel that fell apart years ago. It has about 100 mpg and max speed of 50 mph and unlike TOMOS have an enough low torque that don't require pushing whenever I throttle away.
any suggestions for Japanese ones?
Tomos might be the best moped manufacturing company ever. I owned tons of them, and i still have a 1987 apn6 and it still runs strong. Unbelivable. And parts are everywhere and easy to fix, but mostly they are very reliable
2007/8 I snatched up one of those 50cc chinese scooters for my wife so she could scoot around town with me (on a standard motorcycle) without having a motorcycle license. Well in illinois I got screwed. At 50cc they required a standard motorcycle plate and license. At 49cc she would have been ok but the title said 50 so that was that. As a tinker type person I started to look up hop ups and a few hundred later I had a 80cc heat kit, cam, exhaust, cvt weights, and carb on it. All in for about $1100 at that point. That thing was a blast! Would carry my 200lbs to 50 no problems which was faster than any road in our town. I took nightly cruises zigzagging through the neighborhoods and could ride all week on a gallon of gas. Did my friends make fun of me for riding a scooter? Yes. Don't care it was a ton of fun and some of them ended up with scoots too. I got a good year and a half out of it before I sold it for around $800. Pretty good smiles per dollar if ask me.
Make a video and show us if you get one of these please!
I live 5 minutes from 309. This joke has made me laugh.
Tomos was the status symbol of every teen in small Dalmatian town I spent my summers in late 80's.And I still like the look of classic Tomos Automatic a3.
So fantastic!!! Love this review too much!!!
Oh boy 3am
I love this bucket hat
This was one of your best guys!
I want to be that Uncle! The sheer joy of going feral while being pathetic sounds liberating.
