First start of a 1976 Yamaha V50P in 6 months

A 1976 Yamaha V50P 2-stroke moped that hasn't been used since summer 2017. Its now March 2018.
The V50P harks from a period when a moped was a bike with an engine of less than 50cc and can be moved using pedals. They weren't restricted to 30mph or automatic gearboxes.
They're fitted with a similar engine to Yamaha Fizzies of the same era, with slight differences and less power. 50cc, not restricted and a top speed of about 40-45.

Hey can I ask you something are these things modifiable like they’re kind of old can you modify these bikes the bacon faster can you put like bigger engines in them like a 90cc huh?

I had one the same colour back in 1979 it did'nt have any pedals I was 15yrs old and it was great fun 2 stroke engine I have had Honda 50 cubs which are expensive now. I think the little Yamahas were always under rated as good if not better than Honda 50 cubs

I definitely think they have a bit more character than the Honda. This was good for about 40mph with my 16 stone on it. I'd love to try the Yamaha V90 2 stroke.
I should have kept this.

i had an orange 1 oh the joys of a head wind lol loved it to bits

[@superbracey]

I wish I hadn't sold it. So much rarer than a Honda C90 and way more character.

[@TV-lv5ox]
