Seen that one before, but last time it was 400£ ! I'm sure its the same one, I remember the seller talking about the number plate...

Here is a nice moped one of our friends saw along his travels...

Love the way the makers have incorporated standard shockers into the front forks. Not an insensible idea.

These are great mopeds! Good Austrian engineering, bomb proof, got me to the finish on the Coast to Coast this year without incident  Only thing i'm not fond of is the rather high seating position. Still this one has one of those minimalist saddles which would solve that problem! :D

Hehe well this one doesnt seem to be an Austrian Puch, but one built under license? Our friend saw it in Serbia, and if you compare it to this:

You can see that the engine says "Puch" but not on the serbian one...
