North East Daza Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I have a FS1-SE (chopper) bike. It has only done around 3k miles from new ('Y' reg 82-83), could anyone give me a rough value for this bike as I have searched everywhere on the internet, but to no avail. Cheers in advance Darren
Alistair789 Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Hya there mate, you've got yourself a small goldmine there to a specialist collector!!! There's only 10 roadworthy FS1SE's known to exist by the Fizzy club atm. I recently had an FS1SE till a nice copper caused me to crash it!!! (The C**T!!!) If you can post some piccies i can give you a rough idea, but normally they go for around 500-1.000. Depending very much on the condition and if the right buyer turns up!! Your best bet with it is not to ebay it if you want to sell it but do it privately, as the SE's are a collectors bike. but if it's in near mint condition your looking at maybe 800quid to the right buyer. If not anything below, thats including an MOT and Tax btw! Hope that helps fella

Fahren Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 lol i missed the extra S ...dont recall ever seeing an FS1SE any pics?

Fahren Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 lol yeo one weird looking bike....the forks look like they would snap!! and i can truly say i aint ever seen one b4 no wonder there rare!!
Alistair789 Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Found this pic: weird looking bike... Thats not a Standard SE i'll tell you that fora fact i'll dig out some of my old piccies of mine.
2-Stroke Dan Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Thats not a Standard SE i'll tell you that fora fact i'll dig out some of my old piccies of mine. Yeah, it does look 'wrong', I think the fork legs have been extended (probably making it lethal to turn). Here's a pic of a proper one:
Fahren Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 that looks brand new lol how old is it?.....think i have an old photo of my bro's 1973 model, will have to get it scanned onto comp!!
JimR Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Thats not a Standard SE i'll tell you that fora fact i'll dig out some of my old piccies of mine. Hi' for sure its not it appears to have Fantic Motor chopper forks and and an FS1E base rather than an FS1 base but I could imagine that in other parts of the world the FS1E could be used as a base as the UK restrictions would not apply. Regards Jim
mlc Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 that looks brand new lol how old is it?.....think i have an old photo of my bro's 1973 model, will have to get it scanned onto comp!! Thanks its an unrestricted 1977
JimR Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Thanks its an unrestricted 1977 from what part of the world did that come from ? Regards Jim
mlc Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 from what part of the world did that come from ? Regards Jim Originally Chelmsford/Braintree Essex now resides in Southend Essex
JimR Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Originally Chelmsford/Braintree Essex now resides in Southend Essex Hi , I ask that because the FS1SE did not come into being in the UK until the 1980's and from memory the frame and engine numbers were prefixed with the code 5A1 and it would appear the bike in the photo is just a 1977 FS1E with later SE parts fitted and some bad mods to the handle bars & forks. Regards Jim

Guest pertheswede Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Here's my Fizzy(Chopper) which I paid £195.00 for in totally original condition except for the handlebars. 2500 miles from new although it has never been registered or on the road as it was used by a school to teach kids how to ride a bike Go to the newly formed YAMAHA FS1E OWNERS CLUB for information on the SE (Chopper) and all other models of the legendary "Fizzy" Sports Moped http://www.fs1eoc.co.uk
