I am going to look at a 200 cc Captain tomorrow in tidy condition with V5. Has anyone got any experience with these machines. All advice would be very welcome.

Ones with Villiers engines are better thought of than AMC engined ones.

I had a Greeves Starmaker in 1970, it was big step up from Bantams for a 15 year old.

Phew! A rigid C11 will give you much more fun. And it's 4 stroke.
