I'm sorry, it's a moped, not a motorcycle, but I just want to share this.
My grandmother bought it new in 1983. I didn't know this until recently. I remember the moped from my childhood. My dad and my uncle would drive around on the lawn outside my grandma's house with me sitting behind them.
My uncle had it for all these years and I had forgotten about it.
He told me recently that he still had it and asked if I wanted to buy it. And of course I did. So I'm now the proud owner of the very same moped that my grandma bought 42 years ago.
It's a Norwegian built moped with a 47cc Sachs engine. It runs perfectly and it's in pretty good condition.

As ptxyz states, nuffin' wrong with a moped, although I don't think this qualifies, as there are no pedals! (Can't see any). But, nevertheless, hopefully you have fun and good use. In Bermuda, a single gear bike is the stepping stone at age 16. Then at 18 you're restricted to 150cc... Have fun, be safe.
