Is a Honda Dio 49cc hard to find and desirable?

Is it an actual dio or a elite sr? Pics would be nice.

hopefully this works -

Good bike, Nice find. That is a Jdm scoot badged Dio SR usually exported to Australia, New Zealand and Canada and some other places. It has the Af18e motor. Same built like the Af27 like baka said but headset differs from the Superdio Af27 sold locally in Japan.

thank you.
so what please will this headset difference mean in the way of unrestricting?

I think Munstah is talking about the plastics and components around the handlebars. Levers, controls, Kill switch buttons and/or instrument cluster and headlamp/turn signals make up the "Headset". Nothing to do with de-restricting except as explained below.

Ee-Leck-Tronic party-pooping engine restrictions on Furrin' bikes may have been legislated in by the Export jurisdiction. Some work by limiting RPM, which is believed to be the case with Dio models. Others, like the U.S.-Market Metropolitan, have the speed-limiter wired into the speedometer. Ignition timing goes retarded and finally cuts out when a set speed is exceeded.

I thought the super dio had a front disc brake.

tanks, I WILL try and not be redundant but learn from what is posted!
So if I buy the scooter and your gizmo that your are selling it will/might unrestrict the RPMs?

I will take some pics of the scoot (engine/etc) if members here will be curious.
I will get the VIN (thanks for the location info...I found every number BUT the VIN when buying the Aero...until I found this forum! lol)

The ignition module from an '86 Aero may or may not be "Plug-and-Play". Chances are that it works as delivered but someone who's owned a World Market Dio may be able to confirm. Many would caution you to avoid the "Performance" modules made - not very well - in China.
