Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Maybe in your mind it's worthless, but it's been a reliable bike since I got hold of it. As to the merit of four-strokes, take your angst to the EPA. Cogito ergo scoot, regardless of operating cycles. As for vintage, Arizona calls 'em such once the machine is 25 years old. Therefore, I can tag it ac...

Well, I pulled the flywheel last night. I happened to have the proper puller. Amusingly, the puller that I'd bought for removing Bosch moped flywheels (that didn't fit the moped, of course) fit properly for the Spree, so 1up on the tools! And that sums up the good news. Per Monica Lewinsky's descrip...

It's a twist-n-go. Honda and Yamaha's 150-250cc scoots from the '80s had the foot brake still. It qualifies for a vintage tag now, much to the chagrin of the "vintage" guys.

I have a '64 Vespa 90 and a '81 Vespa P200E for the shifting experience.

Nice Hobbit! Is it a PA50I or a PA50II?

DeLuxe? Very nice. Digital dash and self-canceling turn signals. I'd rock that. Here's my '83 XC180K:

well no such luck on the dio, man he had alot of razz and a real old puch, but what i have my eye on is an 85 yamaha XC180 riva, 180cc 2 seater, speed up to 65mph. hope he will take my deal of my fa50 and $100.00 be careful on the 180 Yam... i work on them quite a bit at the shop i work at, and new...

Greetings: There is the possibility that that's only an incorrectly-installed flywheel. There's a woodruff key in there that costs 2 bucks. If you've got pullers, you may be able to fix your "crank" problem without splitting the cases. Hi! You may have hit the nail on the head there. I ju...

:hi: Welcome to the forum dude... :coolcruise: Thank you for the welcome. I'll be sure to thoroughly clean the brake cams once I get into the wheels. I might even replace the cables if they're sticking at all. Flakey brakes are not high on my favorites list. :thumbwink: Sprees with alot of miles te...

Thanks for the warning.

I hope "new to forum" isn't correlated directly with "instant moh-run". The Spree may be new to me, but I first got my mitts dirty on a '64 Vespa 150 (VBB2) over twenty years ago. I'd like think I've learned a thing or two since then...

Welcome to the forum :hi: Thanks for the welcome. Going by your sig, I have a feeling we might be doing some business. :D As for the CDI, I have found that the earlier year Sprees seem to have a bigger CDI than the later years. I'm not sure if they interchange, but to be on the safe side I would st...

Hi! I recently purchased an '85 Spree in a fit of nostalga. I owned an '85 Aero 50 (black) years ago and figured I'd give its smaller sibling a try. I've also owned an '81 Express SR (resurrection, recently sold) and an '87 Elite 80 (still own, enjoy, over 11K on the odometer, etc). My Spree appears...
