Nice bike. I have the NZ version. How does that 10 x 3.00 tyre go on the front. Are there any issues with clearance etc? I have 10x3.00 on the rear.

There's one that's been for sale locally here for months now, but he raised his price from $850 to $1150 with like under 100 miles on it. He'll never get it, possibly $600 in that good shape. But after all is said and done it will only go 30-35mph.

But very clean ride. Dude, swap in a dio!
Holy overpriced! I paid $200 for mine... But please do tell what is a dio? I'm new to the whole scooter lingo haha.

Thank you. The tires are an extremely close fit. Close enough that they rubbed ever so slightly. After a few rides it is fine though. Its worth it for the better ride and handling.

Dio is a model of scooter that Honda sold outside of the USA. The 94-01 Elite 50 is the closest scooter we received. For Honda 2t scooters, it is the best engine choice for mods. IE, go faster for cheaper.

It was in my neighborhood. I wear a helmet anytime I go out on main roads.

Obviously you are unaware that the majority of accidents and deaths happen withing 25 miles of home and getting killed on a scooter at 20 mph on your street is a definite possibility.

Proof again that you can't fix stupid, even with duct tape. Oh and it may be your life but what happens if you turn yourself into a vegetable? Your family or more likely the state will end up caring for you and the state is other people's money and you do NOT have that right you selfish little arrogant *.
