Pros: Mechanical excellence and fit and finish.
Cons: Flimsy body panels.

I bought this from a fellow who bought it new in February 2008 and rode it 56 miles before deciding it wasn't for him. I doubled the mileage in the first day I had it and was still riding it on his gas! I knew nothing about scooters, but decided that a ...

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: Affordable, incredible gas mileage, fun, comfortable, reliable.
Cons: Plastic-y, dated styling.

I owned a 2001 Honda Elite 80 for a couple years and loved it. Fast enough for anything besides highways; I typically got mine in the high 40's, occasionally 50mph and got consistently 99mpg. Carrying a passenger was possible but did slow it down a ...

Pros: Low insurance, good in traffic, cheap price.
Cons: Low top end speed, a bit unstable during heavy wind.........but what bike isn't

I just got a low mile used Elite 80 2003. It had 140 miles on it. The owner didn't ride very much. After my intial ride (19 miles) I have this to say. Not bad.....could be better. I enjoyed the easy handling and the ability to weave in and out of ...

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: 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: Lots of power, very reliable, excellent gas mileage, fast, mine goes 50.
Cons: Doesn't take off too fast

My scooter carries, 360 pounds up a 35 degree hill @ 20 mph no problem! You can ride it all year long, even when it's cold out. At night its very fun, the speedometer lights up and looks brilliant. This model has been the same for a very long time and...

comes in handy for storing my helmet) and a cover. I've
put 1800 miles on the 80 since buying it. With approximately

1. Honda 80cc is one of the most...

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...
