Just Got Lucky! (I Think)

I'm new to the site. I am also new to the world of 90 mpg! I was just given two Sprees. They do not run but a new battery, plug, and some carburator cleaning might do the trick. What do you think?
I also threw in a shot of my real bike.

The red one appears to have been involved in some type of crash. The black one doesn't appear to be too bad.

nice sprees... barely any miles on em. you pretty much need to get a battery or two before you can tell what else is wrong. so get that and let us know

Wow, those were GIVEN to you? Neither has 1,000 miles on it!! NICE. I would for sure say new battery, plug and a good carb clean should do the trick. But consider yourself lucky. You were given at LEAST $1,000 worth of bike there! Cheers!

I actually gave them to wife's cousin. He didn't do anything with them, so I repoed them. I might sell one, and use the other one for trackdays with my Ducati.

Where should I get a battery?

any honda dealer or motor sports shop... the number on the battery is a YT4LBS

U did get lucky! Two for free with under 1,000 miles on both? and i had to pay 50$ for one with 873 miles on it.

Free is always good!
Personally I'd fix up the black one and use the red one as parts. Then sell off any extra parts off the red one on here

I think both might be fixable. I am going to play around with them tonight.

I'm sure they're both fixable. The red one needs a new rear taillight assembly, everything else can be bent/glued back in place.

Don't know if you race; Spree are the ultimate pit bike.

That's what I was thinking.

I'm going to pick-up two batteries and a couple of plugs tomorrow. We'll throw some fresh gas and oil in them and see what happens.

i paid 400 bucks for one with 4200 miles on it. OK i can see there is a flaw here somewhere. Gratz on ur find though!

I got a battery and a plug. I'm going to try the black spree first.

We shouldn't jump to conclusions just yet. They might be junk.
