I actually ended up getting a great deal on a 2009 gpr 50with 0 km that has been a show model. It has been great and i have learned alot since then about riding and bikes in general.
Found your channel when doing research on the Aprilia RS50, gonna be buying one soon. I have experience with geared bikes, but I just wanted to compliment you on this video, It's really good for beginners, very well done man.
Ross RS Just picked up my RS50 today, absolutely loving it! Was super surprised by how comfortable and fun it is to ride it, was kinda nervous since its my first sport model bike I've ever ridden, but it's just great!
Ross RS Mine is from 2005, so the older shape. The fairings are a bit worn, but mechanically its in a really good shape, and yeah, I think gearing is one of the most fun parts about having a motorcycle/moped. I got it for 400 euros, so I'd consider that a really good deal.
I love the look and style of the rs50, and it is my 16th birthday coming up soon and I've told my parents that I would like the rs50, I've been looking on other videos to see what bike I should get and it has had the aprilia rs50 at the top every time, I currently own a 140cc pit bike but it has too much power for me to learn on so I havnt been on it recently, but if I do get the rs50 later on I can hopefully learn on it and put that knowledge when I go out on my 140cc
very good video for beginner's sadly the cbt at 16 doesn't cover gears, whish I had something like this video to help me when I first started... keep up the awesome work
Planing to get me one during/after the summer. Total cost for it per month will be around 90 to 100 euros per month for insurance and leasing it (brand new). Just need my summer job to work out for me!
Ive been following your channel for a long while. I too had an rs50 then 4t 125 then rs125 and am now looking fir an sv650. My question is, Do you ever miss the old 50? Im fortunate to have kept all my old bikes and sometimes give the 50 a wee blast
Yeah I do miss the little 50, obviously don't miss the lack of power but because it was my first bike it was special! SV is a great first big bike, I would highly recommend one.
I’m searching for a bike with the AM6 engine, but the only one in a 200km radius is a Aprilia RS 50 from 2001. But he registered it like a motorcycle so he could ride faster, so it’s gonna be hard to make the papers and number plate to moped again. But I think I’m gonna do it
how to know at what speed to gear down? and ho to gear up and down in hills going up and going downhill?? thanks for a good video! hope to hear back from you!
Not to be critical or rude but when you set off you should have your right foot up on the rear brake to be stable when riding off rather than on the gear side 😁
"Pick one you like and you'll enjoy wearing it" While true to some degree it's a very silly thing to tell newbies.... We put the gear for the slide not the ride and it doesn't matter at the end if you like it or not, it matters if it will protect your coconut or not. ATGATT
Im thinking of buying an aprilia rs 50 and I wanted to ask you if it is convinient while riding because from what I have read this is the only disadvantage (also if you could tell me some things you dont like in rs 50 , it would have been really nice)
Currently I'm looking at a 2002 rs50, but I'm having a bit of trouble with gears. I know how to upshift correctly but the downshifts are a little problem. I was told that i need to give it a little kick of gas while downshifting, when I'm on the clutch. Is that true? Great video btw!
Hey bro youre video is very helpful,but i have a problem about shifting gears.The point is i know to shift to a 1st gear but when it comes to shifting to 2nd gear i accidentally shift into a neutral,any help?Do i have to push it 2 times up from 1 then Neutral and 2nd gear.Any tips??
@Ross RS Ive bought one, first bike with gears, ur vids alot of help trying to learn to ride, but if I have to stop suddenly at 30 mph, I'd have to put it in first gear right? Also, I sometimes still mix up gears with neutral I guess not sure.
Great video! Have my cbt tomorrow morning on their scooters, didnt want to go on my rs4 50 first time and drop it or something. But im riding my bike around the estate for a bit before going on road as it definitely is a large bike haha
+Ross RS cbt went by incredibly well on their scooters. Got home and hopped on mine forgetting its 2x heavier or maybe even 3x and that i needed to learn gears. Practicing around my estate a car jumps out and i end up panic braking at 15mph and the bike falls on me :( only minor damage to the fairing and exhaust which isnt as damaged.) indicator also came off but i fixed that
+Jonathan Smith good to hear, well done on completing it! That sucks, luckily you weren't on a main road as that could of been a lot worse. As long as you're alright and know how to improve next time it's all that counts :D
Ross RS Just had another blast around my estate and got a little more confident on the throttle getting it to 22mph :) But I'm hoping I feel good about going on the road tomorrow!
Hey good vid bro just a quick question is the left handle (the clutch) also used for braking or is it just the right used for breaking on manuals thanks :)
I mate, I'm looking at doing my cbt within the next few weeks and looking at a few different bikes. I've found an rs50 for £850 with over 15,000 miles on the clock. Would you say this is a good deal or not? Not sure how fair the engines will last for on a two stroke and fear it could be nearing its end? Thanks for the help mate, and also for an excellent video!
+Callum Bradley That's not too bad, my old Rs 50 had about 24,000 miles however it did have an engine rebuild during its life. Ask the seller a few questions about the engine and if you view it look out for certain signs of wear
+Ross RS think I might have to do that! Thanks a lot for the advice and getting back so quick mate. I've seriously been debating holding out untill I can get a 125 and getting something cheap as a run around until that point, as I've only a few months left.
I’ve got an RS50 but it’s been derestricted and everything by my dad and it’s the first geared bike I’ve rode in years and I’m just not confident with it at all, I spend more time focussing on changing gears than on traffic because if not then I’m just gonna blow it up
It’s a 2t you won’t blow it up, they love revving high mate, I’ve got a fully built RS 73cc and it loves to rev its balls off, just give it time to warm up
@@Preza101 since that comment I’ve gotten confident enough to change gears up and down without even realising but unfortunately the rs50 is just way too unreliable and I’m already having to get the engine rebuilt so it’s gonna have to go unfortunately 😔
@@Preza101 took it to a mechanic mate needs top end rebuild and he says I’d be coming back every 2 weeks for a new piston, I think the rs is built for 1 thing and that’s to look good 😂 gonna break my heart to have to swap it for a runner but I can’t be having it costing me so much every month and breaking down on way to work and college
@@masoncottrell8640 something isn’t right with it then, my step dad had the same top end on his rs125 since 2017, maybe someone might have messed with your air / fuel mix making it run lean or rich
thanks for this. answered some questions I had. seems more complex than it is I guess. how much of a leap would you say it is for me to go from 50cc moped to a geared bike? should I just get another day of training or just train myself?
I went from having no experience to jumping onto my Aprilia RS 50 and riding it with no problems. It takes time and practice however it's quite easy to learn. I would just train yourself as many places don't have geared 50cc's therefore you would only be able to ride a moped whilst doing your CBT
It felt very quick as I was only used to a pushbike. I always took it easy though and didn't ride full throttle all of the time so I didn't get bored of it too quickly. However, since I've got my Rs125 the power difference is huge!
Yes I was able to use my own bike. It really helped as they taught me how to use the gears instead of me having to learn on my own. Goodluck, you'll enjoy it!
I sold it ages ago however I saw it on Gumtree last month. I believe it's not for sale atm. Just look around on ebay and Gumtree and you'll come across a good deal.
I turn 16 in may which is shit cause all my mates are getting bikes before me, I'm thinking of getting a geared bike similar to yours. How much am I looking at as I only have a certain amount to spend and I think that a geared bike would be best but am also thinking it is a lot more expensive 👊 thanks
I am buying the 2003 rs50 soon and i am a little unsure on a couple of things; seeing as its two stroke how regularly would i need to add the two stroke fuel? And how do i know when to change gear? (when it reaches a certain rpm?...) i havent done my cbt yet so you can see why i dont know yet about the gears. Many thanks
Always make sure you keep topping up the 2 stroke oil otherwise you'll have issues if you run out. Normally you just fill the separate tank up with 2 stroke oil everytime you go through 2 tanks of petrol. However you'll have to check whether the bike is 'premix' or standard oil pump. To change gear you'll be able to feel it however I'd suggest changing around 6-7000 RPM, every bike is different though.
+Ross RS thanks for the info, will i be able to get the two stroke fuel at a petrol station or will i have to order it separately? Keep up the good videos and this video was very informational ;)
+Kernow Crosser The shot at 0:48 was using the tripod balanced on my finger I thought that's the part you meant. I'd love a handheld gimbal but they're pretty expensive, I'll stick to my tripod method :)
Hi Ross I did my CBT on the 3rd got on well on passed little shaky but nervous I guess now getting a peugeot speed fight 4 in about a week or so just wanted to say thank you for your advise you have me :)
Ross RS honestly I can't the cold was horrible did it on Sunday and like I normal would I forgot to pick up my neck thing so riding along on the road ride like a complete d**k cold af now got a damn cold :( seems like forever to buying a bike as my dad works away all week and we are sorting it together so have to wait :(
Trust me I had been dangerusley close to buying a really bad bike but powered through it and shopped about literally up and down the country but finally found what I'm looking for new and a great price tbh
On your CBT it is broken into 3 main parts; theory, bike control and road ride. When you are learning to control the bike you ride around a carpark and practice handling the bike. The instructors watch and give you advice and they are stood to the side. The road ride is when you're riding on the roads with the instructors following on their bikes behind you.
so to put it in Neutral you have to pull in the clutch and just press down? Like say your in first and you want to go to neutral do you have to press down also?
so to go from second to first you press down, now your in first and then you press up? and from neutral you first press down to first and then up t second? wow this is really complicated!
SightlessGaming you can tell youre in neutral if the bike is able to roll forwards and back with the clutch out, also going from 2nd down to first is only one click, from first to neutral is half a kick up, you will feel the difference between half a click and a full one when you start to ride
Luka Yonny Yes it will be the same for any geared bike (such as the RS4). A normal moped is very easy to ride as it is automatic therefore, there is no clutch and gears to worry about.
Ross RS Thank you brother! So you just give the normal moped gas right?And how tall you need to be to be able to drive a RS4 50 and how about normal moped?Thanks in advance!
@@RossRS really. I will do an auto trader search. The DNA does not look flashy like the racing bikes. Is there any motorbikes shapes that look like a sports racing bike i.e Yamaha YZF shape thats twist & go.
I know this is a noob question. But i dont understood everything (im not good at english). if i start, i need 1 down (1-n-2-...). if i want to up from 1 to 2, i need 2 up or only 1 up? I hope u will understood my question =/
Yeah I think you'll be fine. If you're that conserned you could get a supermoto 50cc such as a Derbi Senda as they would be more comfortable for a taller person
so, i turned 16 few months ago, i wanted to get the derbi gpr 50 or the aprilia rs4 50, but im unsure about cornering, i know you have te lean a little, but do you feel it and does it feel like he bike supports you or do you feel like you may fall off, that's all that's bugging me about bikes, also ive no idea how to get a bike licence at 16 and yes i am from the UK, please can you help?
MRGadget's Gaming Cornering should come naturally so you don't really need to think about it. It's just like a push bike but goes quicker. When you're 16 all you need todo is get a provisional licence (search online and pay £50) then you must complete your CBT which is a day-long training course (about £100). Then you'll need insurance, tax and MOT on the bike and you're ready to ride on the road.
Previously you mention the rs4 which is a 4stroke whereas the RS 50 is s 2stroke. Both the Derbi gpr and Aprilia RS use the same AM6 engine therefore the power is about the same. My friend has a Derbi gpr nude (streetfighter look) which was really quick however it required a lot of maintanance whereas my RS50 had hardly any problems. It's just down to your personal prefrence.
rayan toumi The gear you are in is similar to changing gear on a push bike. You go down the gears when slowing down and up the gears when you are accelerating. If you go down too many gesrs your bike will just rev higher, if you go up gears too fast your bike will struggle to pull away.
Well then this video helped muccccch I drive Cars And i ride bikes It's gonna be my first time riding a bike In two weeks Well it's gonna be fun for a 15 yo right ?
im just watching these kinds of video's because im really exited because im going to buy a new aprillia rs4 :D:D
Did you get it? If so how is it?

Always make sure you keep topping up the 2 stroke oil otherwise you'll have issues if you run out. Normally you just fill the separate tank up with 2 stroke oil everytime you go through 2 tanks of petrol. However you'll have to check whether the bike is 'premix' or standard oil pump.
To change gear you'll be able to feel it however I'd suggest changing around 6-7000 RPM, every bike is different though.
+Ross RS thanks for the info, will i be able to get the two stroke fuel at a petrol station or will i have to order it separately? Keep up the good videos and this video was very informational ;)
+La Higgsy I get mine online but otherwise I would go to Halfords
+Ross RS okay cheers :P
No worries :)
Hey I have bought my RS 50 2008 and I'm starting the hole process of getting my license could you help me out a little please?
They are great first bikes!
What can I help you with? :D
+Ross RS I just need advice on everything really like my CBT because I'm a bit nervous for it and I'm nervous with gear changes too.
Message me on Facebook (Ross RS) and I'll try and help
When i get 15 i want to buy moped, it says that it needs to be 50cc and maximum speed needs to be 45 km/h. What's your speed?
How fast do these go mate ?
All depends on what has been done to it. With an aftermarket exhaust and re-jet you can get 50mph out of them.
Hey mate what's your opinion getting the Aprilia rs50 for a first one
I have drives a semi-auto (off gas gear in)
So what you say?
I think the RS50 will be perfect to learn gears on
What is the name for the Driver Licens for 50 ccm ? In german it calls "Mofa"
People normally just get a provisional license then do their CBT but the actually licence is AM (hardly any people do it)
Wait you use a gimbal for your videos when your not riding, that's awesome how much was yours??
+Kernow Crosser I don't use one haha
+Ross RS oh my bad haha, i thought that was one at 2:35 in your mirror
+Kernow Crosser The shot at 0:48 was using the tripod balanced on my finger I thought that's the part you meant. I'd love a handheld gimbal but they're pretty expensive, I'll stick to my tripod method :)
Great video :D
Hi Ross I did my CBT on the 3rd got on well on passed little shaky but nervous I guess now getting a peugeot speed fight 4 in about a week or so just wanted to say thank you for your advise you have me :)
ACHIMP 1211 Well done for completing your CBT! Bet you cant wait to get on the road now 😀
Ross RS honestly I can't the cold was horrible did it on Sunday and like I normal would I forgot to pick up my neck thing so riding along on the road ride like a complete d**k cold af now got a damn cold :( seems like forever to buying a bike as my dad works away all week and we are sorting it together so have to wait :(
ACHIMP 1211 Make sure you don't rush into buying the first bike you see. Try to look at as many as possible to find the best deal.
Trust me I had been dangerusley close to buying a really bad bike but powered through it and shopped about literally up and down the country but finally found what I'm looking for new and a great price tbh
In 7 months i can finally get my license
Did you get it?
Yh did you get it ?

Opinions on the RS50 2019 or 2018 which should I get and should I buy it new
Personally I would avoid buying new as the depreciation is much higher compared with an older bike.
Ross RS where is best to get it second hand
For a learner do u go around by your self or are u with someone else ? What do u recommend. ?
On your CBT it is broken into 3 main parts; theory, bike control and road ride. When you are learning to control the bike you ride around a carpark and practice handling the bike. The instructors watch and give you advice and they are stood to the side. The road ride is when you're riding on the roads with the instructors following on their bikes behind you.
so to put it in Neutral you have to pull in the clutch and just press down? Like say your in first and you want to go to neutral do you have to press down also?
Elias Van Loon It goes 1 - N - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 Therefore to get into Neutral from 1st you press the gear lever up.
so to go from second to first you press down, now your in first and then you press up? and from neutral you first press down to first and then up t second? wow this is really complicated!
i'm very interested in the Yamaha tzr
Yes that is correct, it is very easy todo once you are used to it!
The tzr is a good bike however, they are pretty rare.
tzr is not rare in Belgium you see them everywhere!
How do you know when you are in neutral... if you want to go from second to first do you have to press down twice to go to neutral then first??
SightlessGaming you can tell youre in neutral if the bike is able to roll forwards and back with the clutch out, also going from 2nd down to first is only one click, from first to neutral is half a kick up, you will feel the difference between half a click and a full one when you start to ride
Buying either an auto 50cc speedfighter or a manual 100cc speedfighter on sat can't fucking wait lad
Enjoy it!
You might want to practise revmatching for when you move on to a 125cc because you are going to need to do it.
The clutch takes the drive from the gear box just thought I'd say
1) With your CBT are you allowed to drive a geared 50cc bike at 16
2) What 50cc sports geared bike would you recommend
+iTz-_PR3DITORzZ yes, any 50cc you are aloud to ride
I would recommend the Aprilia RS 50 (in the video) or the Derbi Senda 50
I wouldn't call a 50cc machine a sports bike in any case, even chainsaws can have bigger engines
Is this the same for most bikes like jsm 50? The bike I'm looking at for a first one.
Yes it will be
I’m 15 and 10 months just wondering is this a good beginners bike ? I can ride mopeds easily
Yes it is a good beginner bike. You will need to learn how to use the gears however, once you have practiced you will be fine.
Do you think the Fantic caballero 50 is a good beginner bike?
I have never seen one so I cant say
late af but it is very good and if you empty your exhaust it'll go about 80 km/h
Very well done
Thank you
I'm 16 and just got my first job and would like to get a 50cc motorcycle would you be able to help me understand bikes a bit more
watch the video, not much more
Feel free to message me through Facebook if you have any questions
Do u drive the Aprilia RS4 50 50cc the same way?and how do u drive a normal moped?
Luka Yonny Yes it will be the same for any geared bike (such as the RS4). A normal moped is very easy to ride as it is automatic therefore, there is no clutch and gears to worry about.
Ross RS Thank you brother! So you just give the normal moped gas right?And how tall you need to be to be able to drive a RS4 50 and how about normal moped?Thanks in advance!
Is there any 50cc or 125 cc motorbike body but its just twist & go like moped. I hate gears and clutch on bikes
The Gilera DNA 50cc and 125cc both look like a normal motorbike but are twist and go
@@RossRS really. I will do an auto trader search. The DNA does not look flashy like the racing bikes. Is there any motorbikes shapes that look like a sports racing bike i.e Yamaha YZF shape thats twist & go.
I know this is a noob question. But i dont understood everything (im not good at english). if i start, i need 1 down (1-n-2-...). if i want to up from 1 to 2, i need 2 up or only 1 up? I hope u will understood my question =/
You only need to do 1 motion up however you have to move it up further
thx. now, how can i up/down to N?
it's about half a tap to get into N from either 1st or 2nd
hey ross i have a question
i am considering to buy an rs50 but i'm pretty tall you think it will fit me ?
Yeah I think you'll be fine. If you're that conserned you could get a supermoto 50cc such as a Derbi Senda as they would be more comfortable for a taller person
How much aprilia rs50 does it go stock bcs for my country 45 is max to get registrated
These are restricted by law, you can derestrict it and with the stock exhaust it will do 100, that is a lot for being the stock exhaust
How tall are you?
What do i need to do to ride an aspirilia rs50 on the road legally at 16 ? Eg- CBT, mot, insurance...etc
depends on where you live but you probable need at least insurance and a license
if you do your cbt do u have to look up cos I faild mine just need some advice on passing it
What do you mean by look up?
lke do u look up while ridding
like
yes of course you do
Can a 16 year old in the U.K. Buy a 50 cc geared bike? or is it only moped
Nathan Notley you can get either 50cc's when you're 16 and have completed your cbt
Ross RS thanks
I have driving test tomorrow and if i pass i get my driving license tomorrow (50cc moped)
Goodluck!
how did it go?
@@persononinternet7868 Thanks for asking. I got it ;)
thanks very much
Im having a hard time taking off going uphill.. Any tips?
Lukas Dekker Rev it higher (about 4k rpm) and slowly release the clutch and rev it more when it bites.
Aight, I will try! Will let you know if I succeed... (In about 2 weeks xd)
Lukas Dekker All about getting the biting point. Better to rev it higher than too low and stall on a hill.
funny thing. Stalled 4 times in a row and like 10 people started honking haha
Lukas Dekker lmao you on a geared 50cc?
so, i turned 16 few months ago, i wanted to get the derbi gpr 50 or the aprilia rs4 50, but im unsure about cornering, i know you have te lean a little, but do you feel it and does it feel like he bike supports you or do you feel like you may fall off, that's all that's bugging me about bikes, also ive no idea how to get a bike licence at 16 and yes i am from the UK, please can you help?
MRGadget's Gaming Cornering should come naturally so you don't really need to think about it. It's just like a push bike but goes quicker. When you're 16 all you need todo is get a provisional licence (search online and pay £50) then you must complete your CBT which is a day-long training course (about £100). Then you'll need insurance, tax and MOT on the bike and you're ready to ride on the road.
Ross RS oh ok, thanks for the help, but i cant decide between the Derbi GPR 50 or the Apilia RS 50, i only need it for school and college
Previously you mention the rs4 which is a 4stroke whereas the RS 50 is s 2stroke. Both the Derbi gpr and Aprilia RS use the same AM6 engine therefore the power is about the same. My friend has a Derbi gpr nude (streetfighter look) which was really quick however it required a lot of maintanance whereas my RS50 had hardly any problems.
It's just down to your personal prefrence.
Ross RS oh ok thanks, i just was unsure about the difference
Ross RS also another thing is the exhaust sounds quite poppy and rattly on camera, how does it sound when your actually there?
To stop should I push the gear down ? I don't get the gear thing If i Wrongly change gears or anything what happens ?
rayan toumi The gear you are in is similar to changing gear on a push bike. You go down the gears when slowing down and up the gears when you are accelerating. If you go down too many gesrs your bike will just rev higher, if you go up gears too fast your bike will struggle to pull away.
Thank you it's that simple ?
Well then this video helped muccccch I drive Cars And i ride bikes It's gonna be my first time riding a bike In two weeks Well it's gonna be fun for a 15 yo right ?
rayan toumi pretty much, once you start riding you'll pick it up easily
Thx i Hope so :)
Thanks
i passed my 50cc cbt on a moped will i be aloud to ride the 50cc sport bike?
Neonz Yes however legally it shouldn't do more than 30mph
