I've watched quite a few of those vintage 50cc videos over the years. Pretty awesome. 16K RPM of screaming joy!

I grew up in the most western part of Westgermany with those mini screamers.A friend in those times had an old quite worn RS which we modded with the time to a new model.Many parts from the new models did fit plug&play.Later my buddy started working and gifted himself with a few parts from the Netherlands where van Veen was THE source for speedfreaks like we were.So he bought a nice van Veen set with cylinder etc which did push his toy with the 2 of us on it up to 75 mph on the Autobahn.Still not very fast 😉,a neighbour of mine in my ghetto,yes we had such too,had modded his with more brute parts.He managed to get clocked in our ghetto with almost 100 mph what got him a little note in the local newspaper beside the fat ticket 😂

Wow, West Germany. Not something you hear anymore. I worked for Lufthansa in the mid 80s-late 90s. I would bet few people under 60 in the US would know anything about that.

well what should I say,I'm genuine indigeneous 😄 westgerman.
I know you US people quite good due to being a legal alien twice.So I really lived in the land of the free about 2 years in total and tried in 23 of your lower states to make it permanent.
 Here in Germany this term isn't much used anymore but its still known well.
Especially because there is still quite some internal fights between the eastand western parts of Germany.Everybody is blaming the other side for whatever.
Romans knew this kind of governing divide et impera
I'm sick of this shit,never was part of this "game"
