Does anyone here have any scooters other than the ruckus?
I am thinking about buying a 1985 Honda Elite 150 with only 1200 miles in perfect running (and looking) condition for 400 dollars. I just can't keep myself from buying it with the insanely good price and because it is in perfect condition.
Maybe an engine swap? not sure yet... I don't really want to ruin the elite for the ruckus since it is in pretty much MINT condition, garaged all its life and not ridden until the owner cleaned the carb and changed the fluids recently since 1987.

I'd jump all over that one scrib They're probably not that great off-road but heck, you got a Ruckus. Should be real good on the highway. Be kind of neat to go from town to town on just a little gas. I want a Derbi Boulavard 150 myself.

So its really worth buying?
I'd like some other opinions, btw... The carb and all fuel lines/gaskets were replaced I talked to the owner today. I also rode it. OMG!! The power compared to the Ruckus is insane!!!

Now you know why I put that motor in my Ruckus! Cool looks and power ;D
The newer 150(87 up) looks light years better but $400 is pretty good. How many miles?? Has the engine been cared for??

Has the engine been cared for?? its got 1200 some odd miles and it is owned by my parents old mechanic, the only one they would go to when they had car problems for many years until he retired. It definately has been cared for! |
