“Not bad, but not great either ”
Written on: 22/01/2013 by Edgarjessop (1 review written)
Bought this 2004 Yamaha Neos 50 as a runner needing tidying, the chrome on the forks was shot so I bought a new pair off ebay, a couple of panels were cracked so those were replaced or repaired, and a new battery and exhaust gasket made it usable. For about £450 not a bad bike at low mileage. It looks nice in an understated way and has a smooth, quiet power unit. Peformance is a great disappointment though, it's in restricted form so struggles to top 30mph, in fact on any sort of hill... (read more)

“One of the best scooters on the market”
Written on: 16/08/2012 by RyanCoffey
I have a Yamaha neos 50cc bought it from a friend for 300 spent another 200 getting it up to scratch and running properly. Since I had the carb cleaned and full service on the bike it hasn't skipped a beat. Starts first time every time unlike most 2 stroke scooters. Will do about 38 on the flat but everything is completely standard would like to purchase a race pipe and suggestions? On the whole this bike is perfect for first time rides or experienced commuters.

So far so good, paid £750 for mine which is a 2001 on a Y reg, with 4,663 miles on the clock. I have driven it around the block a few times and it rides very well, we did have trouble with the front panel which doesnt fit properly but other than that a good bike, the maximum speed I have had out of it is 40 and it is a very willing and nippy engine, the clutch cuts in when you don't expect but its a very good bike, would recommend to anyone (read more)

I have had a Yamaha neos before and I have had a few problems only cause I let my mates ride it and they sort of messed it up, but overall it is very reliable and it handles well I had a 56 plate one it only went about 30 to 35 but it was basic for me when I was 16 shame some idiots stole it.
<br/>I had a few rust problems on the exhaust only cause I left it in the rain with no cover.
<br/>But recommend to buy one but don't modify them they are designed to be standard and work well as it is according to one comment he modify it and it keeps breaking not suprising really.

Written on: 04/11/2008
I've found that the Yamaha Neos is extremely reliable - after being left in a cold garage for a month, the electric start worked first time. I get around 90MPG which is really good and have been able to do 45mph on a flat road (restricted). Goes up hills at a good speed and is generally an amazing first scooter. Parts are also very cheap. There is a surprisingly large amount of leg-room (I'm 6"1 and I don't feel cramped)
5 STAR SCOOTER!

I bought my Yamaha Neos a couple of days ago and so far it is brilliant. it has a flat battery because it has been stood for a few months but it always starts first time with the kickstart. I have the special edition Alpinestar version, which looks nicer because of the graphics and stitching on the seat. The underseat storage has plenty of room for a helmet and maybe even a jacket or lock. Mine is restricted because I want to keep it legal but it still goes 35 mph on the flat. There is loads...

My Yamaha Neos was manufactured in April 2004. I brought it a couple of months a go, but I've only just started riding it. It is very reliable, I left mine for 3 weeks, and it started by the kickstart straight away (electric start didn't work as the battery was flat). I would recommend it, it may not be that sporty, but it is very reliable, and suprisingly nippy. I've beat some tuned up mopeds off of the line, but as mine is restricted the top speed is just under 40mph. The Neos is also good... (read more)

I bought a 54 plate Neos for only £400 and have been delighted and always surprised with what he can cope with.
This was my first bike and I am not small! I weigh 16 stone and the Neos carries me at 40+mph consistently and up hills very well.
The fuel economy is about 60mpg but at my size I can't complain.
The bike accelerates like a dream and is very powerful at acceleration so is useful round town. On the open road the bike is capable of twists and turns and handles very well.

We bought our Yamaha Neos 50 on our daughter's 16th and she sold it to her brother on his 16th. She didn't do bad weather or night, he did and spent his life on full throttle!
It was total joy, beat all other scooters and we sold it to a delighted beginner. Damaged parts were easily and cheaply fixed and it was trouble free. Daughter did 3000 miles in 18 months; son added 7000! He moved on to 125cc motorbike. The Neos took father and son together, and I borrowed it when I needed to smile!

My experience with the Neos is not as sweet.
<br>
<br>Since the day it was bought, we've been plagued with problems from one thing to another, even the starter doesn't and never has worked properly which is a real nuisance for my wife in winter to get started.
<br>
<br>My yamaha dealer changed bits and pieces during the last 3 years, we feal as if we've been landed with some sort of Frankenstein now !
<br>
<br>Don't recommend it to anyone with limited patience.

i think that the guy that write this was reading the speedo in kph as a Gilera Stalker would not do even 47mph on the flat as most 50cc scooters will touch about that just derestricted sorry sunny you are getting a bit optimistic
