Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Cheers for the comments. ridediss- I dont think they are that common. Not from what I have seen and can gather anyway. My mate NZHonda was quite jealous when I told him about it lol.

So I was enquiring about another DJ1 scooter for sale and the guy says it has a A-AF12 engine in it....
Is that like the predecessor to the AF18?
Wondering if its worth anything

Thats how its always gonna hang with it bolted up to the mount thats still there on the motor.... and yeap air filter is sorted
