Re: Aero 80 pre-purchase

IF it had been in decent shape, I probably would have considered it. But too many things that I didn't want to troubleshoot. Maybe farther into my retirement, when I'm looking for things to do :) For now, I need/want something I can rely on to run. The Aero wasn't it. The Zuma is. But I did like the...

Re: Aero 80 pre-purchase

Well took a look at it - it was in rough shape. The right side rear panel was c-o-c-k-eyed and wouldn't snap into place, windscreen same thing - not lining up properly. Tear beginning in the seat. Parking "brake" wouldn't hold, but biggest problem - ran very rough - missing and stumbling a...

Re: Aero 80 pre-purchase

I will likely be buying the one I'm looking at this weekend. Seems to be in good nick and if it checks out in person, will be coming home with me. Other research I've been doing seems to indicate the 80 as pretty bomb-proof, and that modded-up 50 might be a great project scoot, but not much Honda le...

Re: Aero 80 pre-purchase

Thanks again mmike. Very few small Honda's in this area (a couple of Elite's, but again - 3 to 5 hours drive one way to see them). 50cc isn't as popular here because of the mountains and big hills. There are a couple of yamaha's in this neck of the woods though. Haven't noticed a zuma (doesn't mean ...

Re: Aero 80 pre-purchase

Hi motormike. Thanks for the input. Where I am (central BC, anywhere in BC actually) any of these machines are very few and far between. There is a 50 down in the Vancouver area, a 4 hour drive from here, with so many mods I wouldn't know where to start. Well, I can start with the large bore 70cc up...

Aero 80 pre-purchase

Good morning all. I'm new and started searching the forum but came up mostly with VERY old threads for what I was looking for. So rather than try to resurrect them, thought I might start fresh. I have a couple of other scoots (mp3 250 & Burgman 400) but am looking at an '84 Aero 80 to have somet...
