Hello everyone.

My name's Mark, I'm 17, I live East of Manchester and ride a Yamaha CW50 scooter and a Yamaha RX-S 100.

Went to the VJMC show at Lotherton Hall yesterday (any of you guys go?) and after seeing a few Fizzies I've decided I'm going to get one.

Got into classic bikes once my dad had bought his 1978 RD250 air cooled last September. Since then anything from the '70s that is a 2 stroke really appeals to me. I especially love small CC bikes.

I'm looking for an early to mid '70s bike that needs a little restoration. Got about £1100 to spend on buying the bike.

What are the best places to look for them? I've been browsing eBay for a while but right now there doesn't seem to be any that are not already restored.

Welcome. Good choice to get a fizzy, I've had one for 2 months or so since my 16th. Mine's gone sligtly wrong and I've probably been on the road for a total of about 3 weeks due to a head gasket problem etc etc leading to more problems.

Check this out..
