The Honda SH50 City Express is a good first moped or to use as cheap city transport. Today they are cheap to purchase (can be had in reasonable condition for under £200) economical and reliable. Where the Honda scores well in practical categories it is not the most desirable machine. Its styling is dated, the handling is hardly sporty and the performance is somewhat dire. It is worth noting that the bike never needed to be restricted to 30mph as it was naturally slow. There is a company called technigas who make a sports exhaust system which should improve performance noticibly. One thing to check is that the exhaust and the exhaust port are not clogged with carbon deposits. This seriously limits performance and can be simply sorted. Other than this the bike requires minimal maintenence other than washing and keeping topped up with 2-stroke oil. My machine fairs well to being used well in bad weather conditions. The fairing provides some weather protection and the machine does not suffer badly from corrosion due to winter salt. All in all the SH50 is a good hard wearing moped perfect for a 16 year old with a CBT or someone who only wants to get around a town or city. Just don't expect to impress anyone on it.
