Looking for advice here as I’m a total beginner, I’ve not ridden motorized bikes of any kind, only bicycles.
I’m looking at getting into the 49cc world, specifically Honda Giorno here in Canada. All in a new one is about 4300 CAD, whereas there’s a 2003 Honda Jazz that’s apparently been well tuned available for 2275 CAD. The guy seems to be well regarded around here as someone who does good work for a fair price.
Which one is the better choice?
I should add that the only specialist shop in my city is apparently a joke and most local riders stay away.
You can have fun on a scooter. Get the cheapest one going and modify from there to increase power.
They aren't complicated things so big bore kits and even whole engine (rear end) swaps are easily done.
I don't know how your insurance would fair but I wouldn't tell them, but that's up to you.
