Hey,
I just purchased myself a 50cc supermoto. I'm 17 so legally allowed to derestrict it providing that it complies with my licensing and insurance. Also I will need to declare it to the DVLA as it will no longer be a 50cc.
I'm currently waiting for it to return from the workshop before I can start fitting parts, however, I'm wondering if anyone is a fan of such vehicles and what they have done to theirs?
I'm planning on the following:
12T Front Drive Sprocket,
Racing Sparkplug,
88cc BBK,
Racing Exhaust,
Racing Crankshaft,
Reeds,
Stronger clutch.
Also including things like oil filters etc..
What suggestions do you guys have?
I'm aware that this is not a supermoto/motorbike/ or mechanic forum however this is the everything and nothing section.

Falling off them hurts, that's my advice.

Derestriction: what's the point? Max speed 45mph. A 125cc does 60mph standard. Just rebuild the engine with 125 pistons.

Good point, however I have a few issues with your points.
One being, restrictions are something the manufacture adds. So, it wouldn't cost anything to derestrict bikes. That would be one points.
I don't know where you are getting that max speed from, however, my bestmate owns a Rieju MRT SM Pro and is getting about 70mph out of it without much in the way of additional costs.
50cc parts are generally cheaper then 125cc parts.
Also, to rebuild and engine with 125cc pistons as you said, would basically make it a 125cc which would require further parts seeing as my bike only weighs 100kg, I don't really fancy it wobbling out at FP.
I see where you are coming from however, and I'm no expert, this is just what I've found out with some research. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Just watch out on the streets there, you may be careful but there are other idiots who drive a car and they are not careful at all.
EDIT: I said that because I've seen people getting hurt, I also got crashed by a dumbass with his dad's car once but it wasn't serious damage. But anyway, take care.

Oh you mean the Sanchez. Congratulations, I have zero clues in those, but are those things allowed in city? I thought those were like mountain type of things, I thought those were type of bikes which you load on pickup and travel with it.

Meh, it's up to you but since you're 17 how comes you got a 50cc and not a 125? I've got the Husky SMR125 and it is amazing! And you can go on land and road with motocross and supermoto.

Good looking bike, I'm guessing that's KM/H? I own a Generic Trigger SM 50, most people say it's a piece of crap because it's chinese, but I think that the Chinese are bringing out some better bikes + they are cheap. Also, my friend owns a trigger and said providing you don't beat it up to bad, it'll be fine.
+ Your bike isn't that bad. Aslong as it gets you from A to B its fine.
