Fold up scooter?
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Motocompo

Post by uspmale »

I have one I acquired last year.

It's great if you work downtown and parking is a problem.
You can store it in your trunk, park a few miles away from work at a free parking area, and ride the Motocompo to school or work.

Very cool and collectible!

They were only sold in Japan for a few years, and parts are available as well.

How could such a thing sell for only a few years? Honda doesn't make this anymore but idiots still buy the elite 80.

Right now it's buried in a storage trailer on the driveway.
I took off all the plastics,cleaned and replaced the fuel lines, painted all the insides and stopped there. So to make it complete, I'll need to paint the outside plastics. Their faded and scratched.
I'll take pics when i get the time to finish it (another project) :)
I purchased it on e-bay from a guy in Muskegon MI.
He stated that it was brought back from a military guy stationed there.
I paid way to much for it, (still making payments) but I had to have it.
I'm a Honda scooter fanatic and this scoot had my name on it.

pretty sure it has an sb50 or spree-ish motor. the front facing kickstart makes me think so...also some japanese guy put a dio motor in one, theres an entire japanese website devoted to it.
