Unhappy Young lad needs help ;)

Hmk, i am just starting out in the biking world and looking forward to it
I have already owned a Gilera Runner 50, Aprilia RS125 a Peugeot Speedfight 2 and i have just braught a cheapie Yamaha Aerox 100 (we are getting to a question and help needed it's building up..)

I love the Aerox but seriously i have to go into B'ham town center on this thing and the acceleration is dire almost getting me killed by cars on the roundabouts in town and the reason is this.. (told you it was coming) ... the acceleration on this thing is the WORST i have ever seen, rode or come across it wont really start accelerating till 10 -15 mph (around this i have only rode it to and back from work, i was too busy dodging traffic), im sure you can imagine me pulling out into a fast roundabout getting smashed into bits, is there anything that can be done to resolve this?

I have read and heard rollers/belt may be the problem but im a complete novice i just love bikes and will continue to

Any input/advice/solution i would be very gratefull

I know you bigger bikers *looks at belly* don't like 50/125 users but if your one of them have mercy
