Looks like you got am aero with a motor swap!! That looks like an AF16/18 to me. Engine is stock. Everything is.

i guess the aero is a better choice.thanks wheelman!

i also had a jog nextzone i bought for $65.it was my first bike.bad paint though and it had broken left corner lights and missing oil compartment cover.i disliked its looks and the build is too plasticky so i sold it to my cousin after a week for same price.maybe rounded, modern-aping looks are just...

yes sir i am asking for help on the looks. and i have to amplify mr.motormike's words on the looks of each. the lines and profile on the aero are very well laid and thought of while the elite is really desperate for help (sorry for the words) and looks as if the guys at hondasan were unsure of what ...
