Picked up this '86 Honda Spree today:



It's fun to putt around on. Any other badwebbers rockin' scooters?

Here is my Vespas. Blue and white is a 78 P125x with a 177 kit, ported cases, cut crank, and an expansion chamber pipe. It will do just over 70 mph. The white one is a 2000 model PX150. It will do about 60 MPH.

I've got a 2008 Yamaha Zuma. Only mods I've done are cutting the throttle cam to the 2005 profile, and moving the rear turn signal bulbs inside of the tail light. I rarely ride it since Oklahoma requires tags on anything with an engine, even a 50cc. (should have researched that BEFORE the purchase) So far I've just been too lazy to get the tags current on it.

It's fun to zip around on though. Mostly I just use it to run down the street a few blocks to the parts store while I'm in the middle of working on something else.

75 Vespa Rally 200, the fastest from the factory with a whopping top speed of 68mph! But with a pipe and blueprinted top end I ran to 70 on the GPS : p Oh yeah, and terrible brakes... Can't believe I used to ride the thing every day on the freeway.

Kirk, Is that your new track bike?

Actually I never caught the final resolution on your bike after you first track day. I assume you got it back together. Was much really torn up?

My buddy's grandparents had scooters just like that. We used to rip around the neighborhood on them.

Super fun!

Nice to see some scooters! My two wheeled roots are on old Italian scooters. Mostly, Lambretta's. I still have my dream scooter, a 1971 DL. Doesn't run right now. Someday I'll get it running again, but I'll never sell it.

Sifo,
I ended up totaling the Uly. My insurance picked it up. I bought an 09 Uly about a month ago.

So I ripped the scooter apart this afternoon and cleaned up the carb and tightened up all the bolts. Flame (thats what I named it) runs like a champ now! I'm terrorizing the neighborhood w/ clouds of blue smoke!
