Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

You're right, guys. I'm going to check it out. Thank you.

My second 1986 Spree, that I bought this summer, was in a shed for over 20 years, yet it was adult ridden by a woman golfer. Since the scooter hadn't been ridden for many years, I went through it cleaning the carburetor, fuel tank, fuel screen, etc. I left the covers off until I was sure everything ...

It has very little plastic left; and there are ...
