my Honda 50cc cub wasn't bought as an adventure bike, it just happened to be the one I had at the time, the weird thing is I kept and used it a lot later on, even though I had bigger bikes as well!
A few years ago I inherited a Peugeot 100cc scooter from an ex girlfriend of Toms, she left it behind because it was cattle trucked, I have no idea why but I stripped it to the bare frame and rebuilt everything but I did, it was cheaper to buy a new barrel and piston than re-bore the old one!, I didn't enjoy the rebuild because everything was cheap, plasticky, self tap screws and other rubbish, but I persevered to get it running tested and tried by me, it just didn't work as suitable cheap transport, it was not even economical, its best attribute were brakes that worked (after much effort to get the callipers apart) and light weight,so I sold it on and got a surprisingly high figure for it.
