Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

That was cool. I'd rather see go cart track racing though with genuine bar banging.

I actually worked at a Honda dealer back then (LeBard and Underwood). I remember buying a brand new 1982 Honda MB5 (in early 1983) off the billboard ads before that though. It was $399. The ad read: "10,500 (RPM) for $399". The bike that really had me smitten was the unbelievably perfect R...

If you live anywhere near Tustin and have a qualifying bike (See below, but including 2005 or newer Elite, Ruckus or Zuma)and can back it up with registration, you can make a quick $75 for 45 minutes of your time and shape the future (to me that's the coolest part). I'm going Saturday because I've g...

I heard crystal meth makes you develop stuff like this.

What I can't figure out is why basic mopeds around here are listing for $700 almost every day. Who's buying these at that price?

Yes its very rare, the only year made that had a 2 stroke engine :smile: Dumb question, but that's to say the '83 Spree 80cc is a 2-stroke? Wow, I wants one. RZ Rob :?: That is an Aero, not a spree. They were sold in the USA '83-85 model years and 2t all three years. Doh, that's what I meant to say...

I also bought a speedo from that guy. Took about a month, but I finally received it. I sent numorous emails and opened an eBay case as well. To this day, I never heard back from him. When I did get the speedo, it was exactly as described and works well. Yeah, I probably should've been patient, but ...

I have the same problem. Just with a forum member. So far, I lost my money. In order for online business to succeed, there has to be a little faith in your fellow man. I'm a good person and I believe most people are. Unfortunately some of the bad people in the world pray on this vulnerability. I'm ...

Anyone here ever done business with an eBay seller by the name TRMCR? If not, consider this fair warning. I bought a speedo for my Spree and after a month I never received it. I sent him a message, I opened an eBay case, I sent him a dozen more correspondences and NOTHING! eBay simply refunded my mo...

My spree is a piece of crap. Unfortunately I am scared of it, I am used to the nice polite steady power of an electric engine. This itty bitty Spree, sits and sits, and then all of a suden it is off like a rocket! Power is relative my friend. I've never heard anyone use 'off like a rocket' to descr...

That's disgusting . but I'd still buy the scooter if it's salvageable. I'd be looking at the condition of the paint/plastic.

Post some pics.

Exactly what I was going to say. That can be fatal. Might also suggest raising the needle one clip, but since you've got a stock box to go back to, that's the way to go.

Scoot looks good. I've got a black petcock cover if your's is missing.

i'm picking up this aero and want to make sure its not the crappy earlier version. Oh, that hurt. Mine's an '83, and it's variated with a kickstart. It has way more features than the Spree and is way better off the line, on hills, going fast etc. I like the glove box, trunk and racks too. RZ Rob ht...
