I assume you have got your car licence back now? If not you can't ride a moped either, no licence = no licence.
If you have got your licence back, how about a Honda C50 or C90? Ultra cheap but one of the worlds best selling bikes.
Btw, you probably also need to do a CBT test if you want to ride a moped.

As said above, a moped is (technically) restricted to 30mph odd. However, you can get 600cc scooters that will do well over a ton and out gun most performance cars on full bore acceleration!!

Dangerous things IMHO 'cos you can't keep up with traffic in towns so vehicles always trying to squeeze past. C90 would be better.
Not allowed on m/ways btw.
