So is anybody here into scooters? I picked up an 2001 Honda Elite S 50cc 2-cycle last fall as a basket case for a winter project. Got it running a few months ago and its suprising how much fun they can be! I'm 34 and thought I wouldn't bother with these things anymore, but there's a following on them, especially the Honda's. I removed the 'factory restrictions' and raised the top speed from 25 to about 35+ mph, with plenty of takeoff. Just put on a high speed pulley kit, now its running over 40mph, next after that might be a rear gear kit for 50 mph. For those of you that haven't seen some of the speeds these things are doing, search youtube for something like 'Honda Elite Dio speed'....there's a few extreme bikes out there that are wild....
I usually sell my winter projects, but think I may keep this one. Maybe a good pit bike or camping bike. Not sure if I'd ride it to work yet or not, maybe if gas goes back up the $4+ per gallon....
Anybody else play around with these types of scooters/bikes??
