Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

i too might be getting an aero 80 soon myself. i plan to keep it put together as an Aero80 but would be interested in performance mods for the motor, variator exhaust etc.... this is all very contingent. (if i get it, the guy who owns it is out of town and him nor his family havent ridden it for 5 y...

as far as cheap new scooters go,

id look into a Yamaha Vino. performance parts are EVERYWHERE and cheap and the bike itself is only about 1600-1800 bux. probably cheaper this time of year...

nice color. yeah, the big tires would improve the ride/handling immensely im sure. what about that SR50R/Factory thats on their website? is that available in the US?

hey guys. ive been studying scooters for a while now, and saving money to purchase one. i sent my wife to school with the $400 i had saved (along with more obviously). so im researching some more. ive considered Yamaha Vinos, Honda Metropolitans and a cheaper older scoot like a Spree. do any of you ...

keep us posted.
