Honda Elite 80 Scooter - Test Ride

Test riding my 1988 Elite 80 project. I cruise around the neighborhood, give some riding impressions, and test out the machine's on and off road capabilities.

I first saw this thing on Small Soldiers when I was 7, the image of this still manages to steal my attention. It's not so much haunting as it is teasing. Frankly, I NEED one!

just picked up a 1998 for $200 complete with 9k miles and a title. Needed a carb and bought one on ebay for $60 delivered. Runs great and appreciate your videos and you have very good mechanically ability and insight to not spending too much cash....God Bless Bro!!

Recently Bought a used 2007 with 1752 miles. Paid $800. Replaced trans gear oil, spark plug, and air filter. Also cleaned fuel system/carb. Love riding this scooter, I ride it approx 3x week especially to my nearby fast food restaurant. Mine is silver and quieter than this one.

I sold my Elite 80 to buy a dual sport and I have missed it ever since. When I bought it the top speed was 25 and after taking apart the carburetor like 5 times with no improvements I spent the $89.00 for a new one and it was like new. There is something so fun about these things. 80cc's keeps you up with in town traffic just fine and the fun of just quickly jumping on and putting around is something a heavy motorcycle can not provide. I shall have another one day.

I owned one in high school. It was fun. Had a couple of great summers with it.

Well aren't you just the cutest. I just got a '94 model, and everything you said is true. Very entertaining commentary.

I’ve watched most of your videos, and can honestly say you are awesome! I love the wit and your mechanical inclination. I don’t know why I’m commenting on this video other than it’s simply the last one I watched for the night, but I’m always entertained. I also happen to pick up a few things from your projects. Keep up the good work.

Love your videos and humor! I heard you could use black shoe polish on the faded plastic black parts. Just mask off areas you don't want to get black on. Friends of mine have done this with their faded black door handles and bumpers. Good Luck and keep the AWESOME videos coming!

[PastorMonicaRHooks]

What a great help, informative and interesting, and you answered all my questions and concerns. Thank you so much!!! God bless you and your family.

I know how you feel. A grandmother passed me in her electric wheelchair and yelled "get OFF the street LOSER!" I would have done something about it, but her tattoos told me its best to let things be.

The jump he did in the driveway had me dying

I’m working on an Elite 150 deluxe that I got for free after the neighbor passed away….hoping to have as much good luck as you getting it going.
