Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

..Its symantics I know...but it is a fun argument , being a moped and scooter enthusiast I'll be damned if my spree is called a moped ...that makes my moped jealous
Moped Etymology

The word moped was coined by Swedish journalist Harald Nielsen in 1952, as a portmanteau of motor and pedal. It is however often claimed to be derived from "motorvelociped", as Velocipede is an obsolete term for bicycle that is still being used in some languages such as Russian. [2] According to Douglas Harper, the Swedish terms originated from "(trampcykel med) mo(tor och) ped(aler)", which means "pedal cycle with engine and pedals" (the earliest versions had auxiliary pedals).

Pineapplegti your wright or right ??? its a spelling thing for me .. lol

dont wet your self over the small stuff

Acquired af16 swap bike for my sreedio today.. I kinda feel bad tearing her apart . She runs but not very good.

I see big potential in that there pretty elite! Why not get a older elite motor for the spree and leave the af16 in there? You will be able to do 45-50 easily with simple cheap mods to a elite lx or a se50 motor. Let me tell you why i never take my spree to full speed or why i ride once every few months. Every time i go past 60 on it it feels like im gonna die. You should up grade your front brakes to disk with a larger front wheel because its just plain scary going fast on these. Believe it or not i feel safer doing 55 on one wheel than I do going 60+ on two wheels. Its a great bike but the elite is a much safer bike to go fast with

Because that would be the logical thing to do.. Something I am not very good at

Well the wife fell in live with the elite so I guess it will live. Is there a source for the missing panels / dio lights ?

Well the elite ended up being a roach. The forks are bent and it would cost more to get it 100% than i can pick up a cleaner example. ( I lust after the black plastic with the pink and blue livery.) Anyways that being said I had a perfectly good running af16 and a perfectly slow spree..
Don't mind my buddies garage..

Stock Lump on the floor..

Spree pre coitus

And she is in..

I ordered the MLM pipe so I figure ill try it out on the af16.. Ill play with the weights and clutch springs and see if I can get a solid 45 or 50 out of her.. Next on the list will be a front end revamp. Maybe a Graphite9 disc setup or a something like this..http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dio-ZX-Elite-DD ... 48&vxp=mtr. Next will be sourcing eve smile rear plastics as well as the round headlight setup. Then hopefully a 125 kit along with a healthy stretch and a custom Rotiform rear wheel... Its only money I guess. This is what has been slowing my scooter progress. I have most of the hard parts for a ls3/ t56 swap. Still need a few more.

Well this is as far as I can get for free.. Now it's time to collect the pricey parts .. Eve smile rears .. Kitaco wheels .disc swap/ ruck forks /stem. Polini / keihin carb .. More low and stretch
Gonna be fun

Progress pics..
Corsa is on.. and running 28 oko..
scrappy dog pipe is on too.. burnt the f*** out of me.. Its days are numbered.. does anyone have the dimensions of the scorpion arrow pipe ?

First long ride.. still waiting for the dimensions for a scorpion arrow chamber if anyone has it.. 12:1 gears suck. Hopefully the 9:1s will be more fun.

Borrowed a pg short to see if my junk Chinese pipe was my issue .. I do like the fitment much better. Hopefully I can get my hands on a arrow copy soon ..


Played with the other other moped today too..

Getting there.. bought a "performance" variator (hot gy6 unit from scrappy dog. they are local) today after finding out the pg short gives no more rpm than my cheap china pipe.. before I was limited at 53.9.. now with the variator change .. 3 4gram weights and 3 6 gram weights .. went from a 140 main to a 150 main I finally broke 60... very stoked. Next ill change the rear spring and clutch springs ( still stock) . Maybe 70 is in her future.
Fwiw I weigh 335 lbs lol

you went 60mph with a bigger carb on a 50cc af16?

Greetings:

I believe "...the Corsa is on..." appears a couple of posts up. However I do NOT see where you've swapped out the 12:1 gears yet, GTI. 62 on stock gears is shocking.
