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: 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.
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 ...
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: 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...

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
