Re: WORTH IT ?
Although the elite 80 is not the best looking scooter on the market, it is often touted as the most reliable scooter ever. I'd pay $75 for that.

It might be.
I just have the frame and front forks
That is not an aero 80 engine

Re: WORTH IT ?
The CL post is an Elite 80, 4t. Still a good buy at that price. IMO, a titled frame is worth that and then you can swap in a different engine if you don't like the 80. It will never be a racer with the stock engine but a great little Sunday cruiser or learner bike.Trafficjamz wrote:Bear45-70 wrote:It's an Elite 80, a 4 stroke.

Re: WORTH IT ?
Despite it's shortcomings in the combustion per revolution department, I've heard legends of 100,000mi+ Elite 80 engines that saw no more than basic maintenance. As long as you change the oil, it may well last you forever (or close enough to it).

Re: WORTH IT ?
Greetings:
If you plan to restore and ride, you might do better spending a little more and find one in better/morecomplete condition.
However if you can pick it up for $75-$100, the parts clearly are worth more - way more - on fEeBay. Perhaps that would be the way to make some money for a better one? Either way, buy it.

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.
