Wonderfully economical bike

by txsizzler , Aug 25 '07
Pros: Great gas mileage; very maneuverable. Easy to maintain. Has proven Honda reliability.
Cons: Cheap plastic paneling, which can easily break or scratch. Weak headlight. Trunk space.
I have a 2000 model Honda Elite 80, that I bought locally from a guy who owns a limo business for $750. When I bought the bike, I became the third owner. I believe the first owner had used it as a racing bike of some sort (although the top speed on the ...

one test ride gives you an idea, ownership gives pleasure!

by Wisky Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 27 '00
Pros: Fun, good gas milage, rather fast for the size.
Cons: no highway for this one, sorry guys.
The Honda Elite 80 is not a Mo-ped, or a motorcycle, it is in the midrange of those two. Faster than a Moped, but more practical then a motorcycle.


Preformance: Speed- what do you concider fast for a transmission with one gear, and...

Riding Honda Elite 125cc

by Old-Man , Dec 21 '99
Pros: Really Fun, very easy, economical, dependable
Cons: Friends won't bring it back, everyone wants to borrow it
Great machine. I've had many full sized motorcycles but scooters are different. The center of gravity is much lower on a scooter making them much more stable and easier to ride. You feel like your totally in control. Also the scooter's step through...

Zippy Noisemaker

by null , Dec 20 '99
Pros: Plenty of fun, great commuter machine
Cons: Noisy wheels, passengers? No way.
First off, I love having a scooter. I commute four city miles to work now, and the trip is 15-20 minutes instead of 45 on the bus. Parking is free, traffic is avoidable. But that's the virtue of a scooter.

The problem with the Elite 80 is...

I'm a kid again!

by jgxenakis , Dec 23 '99
Pros: The engine is zippy and very reliable; and it is Lots of FUN!
Cons: It has too much plastic.
So, I go to visit my college friend (class of 1972) in his summer house in Leelanau, Michigan in July. When I get back from dipping my feet in the lake waters, he shows me his new purchase - a purple motor scooter. What. . .? He tells me he bought it so...

I'm George Jetson; but who cares?

by tremendius , Jan 17 '05
Pros: fuel economy, fuel gauge, oil change, 4-stroke reliability, oil-tight.
Cons: no kickstand, dated 80's "wedge" styling, inadequate storage capacity even compared to newer 50cc scooters.
Owned my '02 for 18 months now. it has been a reliable starter every time although typical honda cold-blooded. it goes through a 2-3 minute phase after ignition where it only wants to splutter at transition from idle to 1/2 throttle. my solution upon ...

Good extra transportation

by mumskii , Dec 17 '99
Pros: very economical
Cons: repairs can be spendy
My husband bought his Honda 80 elite to commute to work rather than purchasing a second car. This scooter is very economical. To fill up the tank it will cost a couple dollars if that. Depends on cost of gas. It would get about 100 -125 miles per gallon...

A-to-B machine

by microscope , May 19 '03
Pros: Reliable, quiet, good gas mileage
Cons: Plastic body doesn't last
This is a great scooter for city driving. It's reliable, fairly quiet, easy to maneuver, and gets good gas mileage. However, two people on it going up a hill is not a good idea, don't even think about getting on a highway, and (especially sitting next...

2nd Rate by Honda Standards, Dated, Cheap Plastic.

by glenward , Nov 28 '02
Pros: Reliable, Good Power For Its Size, Beats Chinese Hands Down!
Cons: CHEAP Plastic, High Price, Handling A Little Tipsy.
Our Honda Elite has 9000 miles on it. It continues to run well after all those miles and should go for twice that many easily.

The scooter runs very strong and is fun to ride. The handling seems tipsy even compared to other scooters I've...

Scooter will not start

by KevynS , Nov 22 '00
Pros: gas mileage, fun to ride
Cons: won't start after sitting for 2 months, won't carry 250LB person up a hill
We purchased 2 2000 Honda Elite 80s for use in the USVI. We chose that bike because the specs stated that it would carry 325 lbs. Unfortunately, it cannot make it up a dry, paved hill with one person who weighs 250lbs. He has to walk the scooter up...

Elite 80: If not for the plastic, It'd be a classic

by jm1959 , May 13 '01
Pros: Economical, dependable, fun to ride, excellent value for the money...
Cons: Could have a bit more power, not really large enough for two-up riding...

I purchased my '99 Elite 80 for $1900 plus NYS sales
tax. The only options I added to it were a trunk (which
comes in handy for storing my helmet) and a cover. I've
put 1800 miles on the 80 since buying it. With approximately
