Choices....Choices and more choices

Well, I bought a 86 spree for $200. And since I figured this scoot has not been started in at least over a year, I would need to do some type of work on it. So after a day of reading these forums, I decided I am definitely going to need some tools. I figured I would order online from Harbor Freight....

Re: Looking at an 86 spree for first scooter - suggestions?

Well, I do hate it when people post items to sell and do not return a call, text or email. Oh well. I looked for an elite or an aero around the same year, but there was nothing remotely close by. I did end up buying the Spree for $200. I should be picking it up today or Wednesday. Really excited! I ...

Re: Looking at an 86 spree for first scooter - suggestions?

As I am a little concerned over the 25-30 mph speed limit of this model, I found this Honda for just a little bit more money. ($300) It needs a battery and maybe a new rear tire. It appears to be a 1981 NX50. How does it compare to an 86 Spree? Is it also reliable? Is it faster than a spree? I read ...

Re: Looking at an 86 spree for first scooter - suggestions?

Here are two pics. I didn't realize that it was only a single speed. Around here, I would have to drive on the side of the road (where all the glass usually resides). Well, I was going to offer $200. I am not sure if it runs or not. I was going to check with the owner to see how long it has been sin...

Looking at an 86 spree for first scooter - suggestions?

Three years ago, I purchased a 49cc bicycle kit and used it for my 25 mile round trip to work most days. As it was just a fast bike, I always wished for a scooter as I thought it would be safer. Having turn signals, powerful headlights, break lights and the sort. Like most people, I am looking for a...
