simson

[spooky]

i have just bought a simson kr51-2 `swallow` 50cc 1986, don`t know a lot about them but it will make a nice stable partner for my ts 150,collect it next week, can`t wait

I had an S51 Simson when I was 16 as a first bike on the road, loved it even though it kept breaking down!
They aren't bad, will pull nearly 40mph on the flat I found and were fun to ride. About 130mpg too if I remember rightly which is useful!
Only thing is that you will know if the carb blocks due to a mucky fuel tank, the bike becomes painfully slow and can be a recurring issue.
I honestly loved mine and rode it everywhere for the year I had it.

went for a 15 mile ride to find out what is wrong with the schwalbe ....... nothing, ran just fine, now i want a manual in english, does anyone know if the s51 engine is the same ?
