2000 Honda Elite 80

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

Pros: Comfortable and thrifty
Cons: not very stylish

This scooter has amazing pickup for the thrifty 50 mpg. This is a very economical vehical for people who need to get around small cities. The seat to this scooter is very soft and comfortable and I could ride in it for hours. The headlights are among...

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...

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...

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...

Pros: Ease of use, maneuverability and sheer excitement.
Cons: Plastic body parts; Lack of storage space.

I got this scooter to get me to and from the local courthouses in New York City...where there are 5 ...

Pros: their good if your young
Cons: tires tend to sl;ip when its wet

i used to have one of these and i will say it got me around just like car. their were a couple floss i could ot go pick up a date on it or i could not drive to florida but it did get me to school and work and it was cheap to drive too. and their not as...

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
...

Pros: fuel efficient, fun to truck around in
Cons: lots of plastic, no space to store, speed is slow

This is a fun little scooter. However, after a few weeks I found that it just didn't have enough pow ...
