First post on the site.
I am looking to buy a 1986 NQ 50 (Nifty 50). It is in nice cond with low mileage. I want to use it as an everyday commuter and wondered how reliable they are for everyday use. Also how many miles/kms on a standard motor, with good oil etc, can I get before any major engine work / re bore etc is needed.

To my knowledge, it's basically a Spree, and as long as you run the GN2 oil, a nice fuel filter, etc they almost never quit here in the US. My Elite E i just picked up had not been fired in 6 years, I cleaned the carb and it runs GREAT.
I'd say go for it if you think it's a good price. They average $300 in the US for a Spree, more for the white ones.
