Re: general questions about 50's

you should be able to get a decent used fiddy with some upgrades for about 700-1000 dollars.. you'll just need stiff springs for your weight, but they are out there. if you plan on jumping you're going to need to spend quite a bit more on frame and suspension upgrades... if you're just going to ride the street you'll be fine with and 88cc motor and stiff springs
