That speed is dangerous, Get it derestricted. 45-50MPH is much safer in NSL.

none of my mates have been pulled and nor have I!

We've been riding for around a year and 1/2 and haven't been pulled once!

Although i did get 3points and £60 fine for getting caught by camera!

Oh .... By the way .... if you want your extra 6mph ..... get on your push bike :lol: :lol: :lol:

you should be alright as long as you dont crash it!!! :P


on a serious note - check the tyre pressure, chain tension, brakes are not rubbing etc. - you might want to try sticking optimax in it... :lol:

sorry mate - i know what you mean, most of us have been there trying to get your 50 going as fast as poss. - anyway good luck! :D

Maybe the hamster thats running around on a wheel inside your engine to power it is getting old? You could always attach a dog onto the front of the bike to pull it.

I still remember when I mate saved up for about 2 years working at his parents shop to be able to afford a brand new RS50 for his 16th Birthday, Kept going on about 70-75MPH etc, he got it and it was restricted. Would only do 25-30MPH or 20MPH up hill! He had to push it up the hill to my house as it didnt have the power to get up there :) :)

No-ones gonna care if you get it derestricted, Most people agree it's safer to be able to do more than 30MPH.
