Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Picked up this 1984 honda spree "Iowa" addition..lol

Thats some nice spree real clean shape congrats on the addition

Plans are ...
1. Stretch it plus frame mods for bigger Motor..
2. Install 4-Stroke Aprilia 125 motor.
3. Install 14" wheels/Tires & Forks

Nice clean one right there.

I can kill a 125 and 150 4t piaggio/aprilia with my corsa af16e. I have the piaggio lt50 and 150. My 50 is right behind my lighter buddy on my 150, and my 89 lx with the af16 corsa walks the 150 after 20.
Also most your aprilia/piaggio/Vespa 125/150s use a dual shock system. It would be cool looking but not sure its worth it in the end. In my most honest opinion the leader engine is a pain to mod correctly and effectively. Next chance I get ill get a video of my lt150 with a ton of mods vs my fully ported af16 corsa/mhr build. My full mhr zx50 build eats the leader from start to finish.
It's a nice looking spree! Keep her honda if you care or go aprilia, either way congrats on the new bike!

Only reason I considered the Aprilia swap was I picked up this 2009 Aprilia sportcity 125 that was a Theft recovery, just some damaged plastics. Only had 300 original miles on it.. And I picked it up for $150..

That's what I figured happened. It'll be one heck of a neat looking swap.

It's always more fun swapping motors you haven't seen swapped!! At least on here anyway

We'll I picked this up today for $100. Looks rough but ran good when it was parked in shed about a year ago. It's a 2001 with 1700 miles on it. I will be doing a Corsa build on the Motor and putting it in the 84 Spree ..

Sweet deal! If you have another elite put that head light in it.

We'll I'm holding off on Buildiing the 2001 Motor for another Upcoming Project.
I have a New 83cc Big bore GY6 I built for a Ruckus clone that I'm Going to Put in the Spree. I Just finished building the Motor mount, has a 6" Stretch. I'm working on Building a HardTail Shock mount..
