Hello everybody. So a month or so ago, I walk into my local Honda/Yamaha to make a down payment/ reserve a Rapid Red FZ-09 and I run into a pristine Elite.. I ask about the Elite and he tells me its story. One owner, 6000 original miles, old lady owned etc.... I could not resist LOL.. So here I am now with my Elite.. I have done 1 moderate 68cc build on a vertical minarelli, just started a 100cc build on a horizontal minarelli motor that I will use for something one of these days, and now I have this wonderful Elite. My plans for the Elite now are essential (IMO) suspension upgrades, rims, tires, and disc brake to support my 72cc or 90cc that Ill get into later.. Maybe even a 125cc build.. But for now I have a JDM tail on order from scooterswapshop.com and this is how the SA50 sits today :rock:

the 72cc is reliable than 90cc to 125cc is not worth it, bigger dio cc isnt alway better. yahama jog horizontal can outrun dio big stroker
