Saw an ad for a honda 50 scooter that needs a total rebuild .
Called and asked whats the price ?
The seller said $40.00 I was thinking a bunch of boxes of parts .
When I saw the bike I couldn't pull the money out fast enough .
Got it home drained the tank .
Put in some mystic oil .
Added fuel .
Washed off the bird s*** and dirt .
New battery ....
Barely touched the start switch .
Verooom a lot of smoke .
Let it just run for 45 min.
No smoke purring like a * cat .
Took it for a ride .
Fast fast fast .

[size=200]Runs GREAT!!!
Had some rips in the seat from sitting for 4 years .
Had a old seat and had it recovered in red looks better than I ever expected .
Recover cost more than the bike .
Replaced battery cost as much as the bike .
The air filter was just rotted I stuck some foam in works great /new filter on order
Only other problem was speedo didnt work took the hub apart looked fine .Started to pull the cable out .... it was the shortest speedo cable I have ever seen about 4 inches .
Then took the speedo off and there was a much longer cable about 36 " .
Ordered new cable should be here by Friday . Cost much less than 1/2 of what the bike cost .

This AERO has been hitting 40 to 45 mph.
I am thinking this must be a unrestricted one from 1985.
I even had the seat recovered (Cost $10.00 more than I paid for the bike ) then put a Honda logo on the back.

I don't think there was a restricted Aero. You just bought the spree if the Aero didn't meet your local moped laws.
