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!!
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.
@@jenniesgarage👍 I've ridden a few🛵. 250 dual sport🏍️ is a different kind of fun; I can ride 30 minutes thru down town traffic 🚦lights and never take my foot off the peg, or sit down.
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.
you are a funny dude a true character I enjoyed your videos from the start of the Shasta to this vid, I'm a NEW subscriber looking forward to the next 1 keep up the good work
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.
Ride on! Where i grew up everyone waved, now days around here its rare to see someone wave back, sometimes i wave big like i know someone lol, im sure it confuses them on who the heck that was lol. Thanks for taking us for the ride and Have a good'nnn
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!
I have watched quite a few of your videos over the last couple days and this video made me have to subscribe. Your level of exaggerated sarcasm is freaking hilarious. I question anyone that cannot laugh at themselves first.
i found one locally who was selling for 750 and i talked him down to 300. Best 300 bucks i ever spent. Runs mint, has some usual dings all over but its so much fun
I like the CH80 Elite scooters. They are at home in the city, and will usually outrun traffic at stoplights. In most places the speed limit is 40 and that is rarely attained due to traffic and stoplights. As the drive belt wears the scoot will not be able to keep up as well. As a general rule, one of these should be able to top out at 45 mph with about 300 pounds of passengers.
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.
I got one free from my co-worker and it runs great and has a new seat and I bought a new spark plug and a new carburetor. but yours is loud but my elite is quiet.
The Honda Silverwing FSC600 Scooter, are Excellent!! Plenty of Power 600cc twin cylinder fuel injection, they are excellent runners good comfort and good handling too, as well as good Brakes.
It should be faster than 45 mph, I have a Honda Scoopy (50 cc) that goes 45 mph without any problems. Maybe a good service and a tune up would make yours a lot quicker? Very good video!
No its mph, I've been working on motorcycles mopeds scooters atv's ect for 20 years I know what I'm doing. the problem he's having is he didn't clean the 30 year old grease out of the varator and replace the roller weights he shouldn't be doing a review on a machine that's not running in optimal condition
Obviously the open road really isn't where the elite 80 is gonna shine. Put it in an urban setting and it's a different story. I lived in Key West and scooters rule there. Want some scooter fun? Ride a helix 250. Imagine sitting on a couch doing 80mph.
I had a Honda elite as a kid as a Feild bike. Problem was it would die over rough terrain. Assumed the float in the carb was bouncing and killing the air fuel ratio. I wonder if that was true or not.
Ha ha recycling :-D Im supprised you liked it so much, most people that have only driven real motorcycles just hate going slow. i started riding on a 50cc puch maxi stepthrough moped, yes it was slow but it took me all over the place for pennies, it was freedom :-) Such a simple engine that never failed, but i did replace the bearings and seals, it was a 1978 model so i played safe. I swear the tank was being topped up with petrol behind my back, as it took so little to run lol. My briggs&stratton lawn mower takes more than the puch ha ha :-D The honda c90 commuter bikes had that odd front suspension, it was wierd.
Me and couple friends went threw a scooter fad lol we had China put big bore kits on them I had a 80cc on mine friend we put a 100cc kit on it i ended up with a jonway 150cc which run around 65mph after a few modes that was 4 years ago I got a 85 yamaha 1000 Virgo converted single carb very fast bike didn't run when I got it had to put a cdi box on it and re jet the carb un hook the boost sensor box vacuum line fixed it
If u can find the older aero80 which was 2 stroke. That sucker did wheelues for me as a teenager. Put passenger pegs down and did wheelies till i wanted to put it down was perfect balance point.
I have three of these and they are pretty good scooters. I wish there were more aftermarket parts out there for them, like the Ruckus. Around here they can be had for 500-600 all day. I paid 700 for my 2001. My 1999 was only $150.
I drilled holes in the intake box it helped a little with acceleration but not so much with top speed 40 mph Im 220 pounds and you will have to replace the air filter more often. From what I understand stand this engine does not have back pressure in the exhaust. Find a exhaust shop to make you an better exaust but it might cost you. An extra fuel filter is a must or you be cleaning the carbs alot. If you want to go faster it would be better to buy a faster scooter because the elite is what it is a down town scooter.
If you change anything about the intake or exhaust you have to rejet the carb or it won't run right. And the top speed is supposed to be 46 so 40 is not good
@@BentReality.369 its supposed to go 46mph I'm 300# and mine goes 46. Never use anything less than 91 octane, adjust valve lash to.005 make sure intake manifold is tight. Cover the holes you drilled in the airbox. Put in fresh 8g roller weights and new belt. I guarantee it will go more than 40mph
In a video he said he was in the Sacramento area and a lot of you recognize where he’s at, is it Ione? By APG Paintball and Rancho Seco? I’m born and raised from Stockton though I live outside Reno now, couldn’t deal with California’s shit anymore. I was in Ione the other day staying at a friends place, I sure miss California a lot but what a mess it has turned into, I love living in a free state like Nevada and I’m surrounded by other California refugees.
yo I have a 95 honda 80 scooter....but i can't figure out why it stopped running...i know its something with the carb i watch your channel any time i need to figure out stuff but based on what ive tried so far wanting to fix my scooter on my own and if u can spare a few moments of your time i would be forever grateful i'm on fb twitter
Nice scoot.. you could probably get a few more mph out of it with a better tune or Maybe a new belt. My stock 65cc China scoot will hit 45/50 with enough room lol
*The engine & power-train are deliberately 'de-tuned' by Honda, and with some minor performance upgrades from Pollini & Malossi that 80 will easily top-out at 50mph especially if the jetting is changed-up two-sizes on the primary & secondary jetting* *Use 10/40 full-synthetic engine-oil and the highest-octane fuel you can get, and adding a wind-screen will give you a 2 to 3mph boost of itself because the air-flow will be much smoother at higher speeds* *All of those things can be done without damaging or altering the engine...and if 45 to 50mph is not enough, you need something bigger because the wheel-base, tires, and brakes are not meant for speeds higher than that*

Very good video!
Sybrand Althuis mine only goes up to 30 mph
Nope ch80 top at 45 stock because 4cycle engines dont make much power like 2 cycle 50ccs
Mine does 53mph stock on flat ground change your roller weights and clean the grease out of the varator and tune your carburetor properly
BigCountry All you little children 👶 are reading kilometers on the speedometer and thinking it's m.p.h. lol.

I've had big bikes but nothing is as much fun as a scooter
I'd rather ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.
I had a Honda elite as a kid as a Feild bike. Problem was it would die over rough terrain. Assumed the float in the carb was bouncing and killing the air fuel ratio. I wonder if that was true or not.
If I hit a good pothole mine cuts out too
Idk where you are located but it looks very much like Northern California maybe Chico or maybe the Gold Country.
Suprisingly, it looks quite smooth!!!!
I’d really be interested in buy that elite
Sounds like you have some tuning to do. I had a Honda 50 Elite back in 1989 and it would easily do 40 mph. The 80 should do better.
I agree. I couldn't believe when he said that. I own one and it get easily get up to 45 mph. I ride mine everyday.
I have a sweet Harley Ultra Classic and I also have two Honda scooters. I love my scoots. Fun factor compared to a motorcycle is unmatched.

I covered my seat with a biking jersey and it's actually pretty cool.
I have an identical one same yr. Got it for 170$ ( in Ma ) and cleaned carb, Jets, new fuel, new tire/battery, vwaa-laa
Love the car and the scoot!
I just picked up a 93 Yamaha Raz two weeks ago for $170. I love it. It's very similar
Took u all that time just to come up with abit of riding ??

There is no bore kit for the ch80. There is for the 50 and the 125.
A 150cc gy6 should do 65 without mods. Barley but it should get there
When did they make a big bore kit for the 125 it was only made for 1 year before it was replaced with the 150
My brother has the elite 150....thing has a rear foot brake sticking up out of the floor board...odd but quick.
If u can find the older aero80 which was 2 stroke. That sucker did wheelues for me as a teenager. Put passenger pegs down and did wheelies till i wanted to put it down was perfect balance point.
Dude I had an 84 elite 125 with a foot heater it was awesome
I have three of these and they are pretty good scooters.

I know this is old as fuck. I have 4 currently and had 6 others over the years best bike ever
I got 3 for 200 each and 1 for free
Do you pay insurance on you elite or trail 90?
+ThatOneLaxKid yes, but only because the man says I must
It would be retarded not to insurance is so fucking cheap anyway
I remember the first time I got passed by a Segway, I was going in the opposite direction.
Have the same, they’re a kick!
Is it for sale?
HA I almost saw my old house.
Just out of curiosity, where it is? I always find how remarkable similar Spain and California look alike
Does anyone here know any mods you can do to make it faster? I heard removing the exhaust and intake cover can increase the speed by 5 MPH.
I drilled holes in the intake box it helped a little with acceleration but not so much with top speed 40 mph

My ch80 does 50mph it has some kick on the takeoff. My friend bought 1 it went 45 I call mine the presidential model lol...
*The engine & power-train are deliberately 'de-tuned' by Honda, and with some minor performance upgrades from Pollini & Malossi that 80 will easily top-out at 50mph especially
if the jetting is changed-up two-sizes on the primary & secondary jetting*
*Use 10/40 full-synthetic engine-oil and the highest-octane fuel you can get, and adding a
wind-screen will give you a 2 to 3mph boost of itself because the air-flow will be much smoother at higher speeds*
*All of those things can be done without damaging or altering the engine...and if 45 to 50mph
is not enough, you need something bigger because the wheel-base, tires, and brakes are not
meant for speeds higher than that*
*ps That scoot sounded like shit in the garage...badly in need of 'TLC' from someone who appreciates not having to walk or ride a bus*
I have the factory windscreen it definitely slows you down. I get 1 mph more without it
That was my first bike! My has 150 cc and can reach 65 mph, fun to ride very good for new riders.
i get my 1987 for 350$ and am so happy
that's a bargain!
Take it off road i did mine many times. Was sweet
