Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Rode my 1989 Honda RC-31 at California Superbike School. Took some new 2009 Honda CBR1000RRs and Yamaha R1s to school. Corner helpers were high fiving me as I got off the track, haha.

Tech Inspection:

Nice Turn1, looks like fun

Personal ride report:

Degreased, cleaned carb, new air filter, new oil, fresh gas and new plug on my Yella BEE Elite 50

And.. bugga still does a cool 20mph hills, 25 flats and blistering 28mph down the STEEPEST hills

THEN IT HIT ME (a thought)

its freakin restricted! lmao.. just looked at vin and sure enough its the sa50"P"

no biggy since i'll be starting with vari and pipe anyway but i found it amusing. so funny to just cruise so slow too haha

My personally ride report for the day....

Got out my 91 tomos today and went to pedal it across my yard (like i do everytime) and the right pedal fell off....

So im like, 'no big deal, ill just put it back on'. Then i realized the treads where all stripped out. Took me a while to realize it but it had been stripped out before. Someone before had this problem and welded it back together.





So, i dug out the SPATA! and used the pedal arm/pedal off it. I threw some black paint on it so it matches the other side. I used both the SPARTA pedals on it.

Luckly bicycle pedals will work for this. However im having a hard time finding some i like.

It was a good day...

Todays load...

Landed a big one, is that all from one seller ?

3 Sprees, all torn apart, $70 for everything.

Good one! - That deal has my head swelling up Hope to get over it soon

Finally stopped raining so i got the chance to go thru what all i got.

not the golden deal i dreamed it was. But still worth the cash imo.



Heres some pictures of all the crap... I MEAN SPREE's!
Spree 1



Spree 2




and Spree 3

I'm assuming those are all just parts bikes with no hope of getting papers?

I easily see $70 worth of parts on ebay, way more if you sold it all off.

If those frames had papers they would probably be 400+ each even in that condition, at least out here

Nice score.

papers?

dude in michigan getting papers is easy as *. If i knew for sure that michigan papers would transfer to hawaii papers i would get both of these legal and send them to hawaii like nothing at all.

Yeah, parts are golden, titled frames too. Nice deal Dac.

Definitely worth the cash.

Dude, do it. I can guarantee that they'll be legal on the islands. I had my uncle in Michigan get papers on my Aero (I'm sending him the VIN for my new Spree soon) and I waltzed over to the Ohio BMV where they're really strict (mopeds=motorcycles) and all they had to do was examine the VIN, no safety check, then approve the VIN, I had to buy the title and pay applicable sales tax. It cost me like 8 dollars and then I got it registered for like another hundred and everything. It took a while to drive around, but totally worth it.

Before I did this I talked to my brother who's a lawyer* about the legality of this. He said as long as I "sell" it to my uncle then "buy" it back with the title from MI it's totally cool and by law one state's papers are good in every other state. A state shouldn't be able to deny your papers simply because they're from outside of its borders. However, you could always get some * at the Bureau who won't help you out.

So as long as those VINs don't come up stolen or salvaged or something you should be good to go and make mass profit. You could always have a Hawaii member call the local registration office to make sure for you.

*In the spirit of full disclosure: my brother does not deal specifically in property law, and is not registered to work as legal council in Ohio, Michigan or Hawaii.
