Well, I didn't want to mess with the Suzuki's, and when I got the guy down to $150 on this I couldn't pass it up. Its got some cosmetic issues, but runs like a champ! Hits 70 mph with no problem, and I can get up to 55 in about a block....
Hey, at least I'm back with a Honda right?
Somebody must of ridden the * out of this thing!
i say screw fixing the body, tear it all off and make it a rat looking bike. There was another guy who did that before and it turned out awesome. Ill try and find a link for you.
But yeah dude! thats awesome! i would have payed that in a second.

d*** i cant find that link. Maybe burnt_toast will have it. He was the one who had it in the first place.
It was an elite 150, all the plastics were gone except the glove box, i believe that was still on there, just cut down at the bottom. Instead of the floor board he had Pegs on there. On the front he mounted up two big "off road" spot lights. That f***ing thing was cool.

I remember that pic, but I think it was GIJoeBob who posted it..
And that bike totally gets my vote for doing a rat bike conversion. Much cheaper and will look way better than stock. Just rip most of the panels off and make it look your own
I was considering doing that, but what is the legality? As long I have all the things that pass safety inspection the body panels shouldn't matter correct? All my lights, horn, etc work.....

to the best of my acknowledge body panels are not needed.

Take note of the Location... Arlington TX. Dallas area. *lol* As I said in another post, they're hard to find around here in these states (AR, OK, LA) unless you travel to Dallas, Houston or someplace else far away. I saw that one before I found the Spree I now have and $1000 seemed WAY too high for that one. if it had the plastics then maybe but not without. My Spree was half the price though.
