Lose the looks thing...everyone who rides is gonna know it's a 250 no matter how it looks. Just like how my SV650 with full fairings is still obviously an SV650.
If it matters that much to you get a Hyosung 250R. 600 frame/body with a 250 engine.
Want this as my beginner bike!

Because that would mean access to the highway and thus being able to ride in a setting other than the city. To each his own I guess.
To hell with the highway, you wouldn't be able to take a 50cc 2stroke on an 80km/h road. 70 would be pushing it

cbr250 better, ninja 250 faster (marginally). that's all I have from my experience. you want a SS? buy one.

Dunno if i'd drop 2500 on a used 50cc, but they are here...if you get a small bike get something used with good resale, trust me you'll outgrow a 250cc in a few weeks. A 50cc in about an hour...

My first bike was a Yamaha YSR 50, this was the most fun I had on a bike. I took it on the 80 highways all the time would do 115kph when the wind was blowing right, would do 100 no problem. insurance was 200 a year and only costs 5$ a week in fuel. it sounded like a souped up lawn mower a smelled like burning oil. but was still more enviro friendly than any car today- it hardly used any fuel. Oh and if you dumped it or wrecked it (as my buddy did to his) it was only 364$ to replace every part. because of ots small size you could take almost every corner at 80 plus, yes even right handers!
The Derbi as far as I can tell won't go past 66km/h. Not sure if that's a horsepower or speed governor for the UK, just what I saw in the literature.

It's actually pretty quick for a 50cc bike. Not like my demonic weedwacker, but for a street legal 50cc not bad. Unrestrict it and grab a 75 cc kit and you're off!
