Oldest Scooter?
I have scoured the depths of the world to finally find a scooter the stock Honda Spree could beat!

On this very rare occasion, I will agree with maddog.forrestking wrote:maddog wrote: i see a guy riding a bone stock spree every morning and it does 40mph
A stock 50cc spree CAN do 40mph

Greetings:
If you can believe this, the Cushman crowd is even more nuts for their brand than we are. A 1937 would indeed be a relic in terms of riding, but there are Collectors out there who would pay a lot more than that price for one in good shape.
As always, you can always...
Dude! Swap in a Dio!!

Re: Oldest Scooter?
ok maybe not "stock"
but 40 mph can be achevied with the stock displacement.
Other mods are needed.

Re: Oldest Scooter?
Stock means stock, AKA "as produced." Once you mod anything, it is no longer stock.Trafficjamz wrote:ok maybe not "stock"

Dude can have more than 1 bike. An Aero like that should be saved for special occasions. Put the miles on a cheap one.

Re: Oldest Scooter?
I've done 40 on my stock Spree, although it was near the end of a looooong downhill run with a very stiff tailwind. After I soft seized once on a run like that, I quit doing it.
But yeah, stock on flat level ground, you're doing real well if you can hit 30.
