I lasted about 2 weeks on the factory 50 in mine before lifan swapping....

 @GuyWithAviators has a 70/90? in his and its a complete different experience. Soooo good.

Mines a v90 now

Find a pw80 donk to keep sweet 2t noises. Bolts straight in, and can swap the ignition stuff over from the 50 to keep the lights on

Possibly unpopular opinion,  but..

70 series have to be one of the most over rated over hyped over priced vehicles ever. Toyota must have been laughing their arses off the whole production run 

80 or 90k to buy one and it's bare bones, still a design mostly from the 80s, the V8s don't actually go that well, they are heavy, ride like shit, the track width is considerably different front to rear, they have dx corolla door handles etc etc etc

 

So you buy one, and then need to spend another small fortune to make it actually good. Then once you've barfed up the whole arb catalog on it , it's too heavy and you can only carry a pie before it's over GVM

They will do 1000000000km with not many issues though.

Been browsing through the later parts of this thread, it seems like to register a 50cc / moped which might not be in the system is not a hard process?

It’s not hard.

is an inspection needed? 

No but some places will ask to inspect if they’re being dicks.

Also, what's the deal with getting an older smaller bike on the road, like a CT50 etc, assuming if it's not in the system it'll be a huge balls ache? 

See above.
Otherwise follow standard motorcycle/dereg vehicle registration process (unless farm bike with no vin ever attached?)

Next time for me sorry, day has filled up too much with my work do now. 

Same day as my work do. But May be able to pop by at the start!

@GuyWithAviators do you work for toyota now? or a non specific workshop? can you source volvo/good aftermarket parts?

i can and very well might do the job myself but shopping around and realised ive not used a workshop in 15 years and have no clue anymore

Toyota genuine I can help with. 

I won’t particularly recommend  the workshop at my workplace / dealership because I don’t want to be biased but I am happy to a do a cash trade deal on genuine parts for you. Send me a message if you’re interested Greg
