Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Hi everyone, just wanted to share my build with the community.

I have myself a red 1986 Spree Iowa, a black 1985 Spree and one more 1985 Spree that is completely dismantled, bolt by bolt in a box or two lol...
They were given to me from a good friend who just didn't have the time. Hopefully, i'll make the time lol...


Here are some pics:


















I haven't done much other than clean up the frames, sort through the box of parts and diagnose what needs to be done/bought. My goals with the scooters aren't crazy; I just want to get them up and running so they look presentable. I am fairly mechanically inclined as i've built a Honda car before. I'll be sure to update this page as I progress.
Thanks for the support and thanks for this fantastic site.

Greets to you SirB. Have fun with your jigsaw puzzle! At least with this, if there's a piece missing you can hunt one down. Good luck with resurrecting your scoots (worse case scenario you should have enough parts to build one runner)

hay good for you nice find here some info here the Spree Service Manual viewtopic.php?f=11&t=37 one other thing you may find if you look close is that some of you piston are dish and some are dome ... and the head is diffident as well ( bigger pocket ) if i was you put the dome piston with the head with the smaller pocket it will help you ... the Spree Iowa ex pipe is diffident as well so when it come time to pick one you may want post a photo of them as well ...

after looking closer at the photo you put up you shood use the one thats on the motor you have sitting in the 2 photo

Thanks for the advice. I've already done a lot of searching on this site. I found out about the "Iowa" exhaust and already im looking at aftermarket scooter exhausts.

Was the "Iowa" version only for the state of "Iowa?" from Iowa to NYC...

Was the "Iowa" version only for the state of "Iowa?" from Iowa to NYC... we see iowa spree show up all over the usa ... people move and bring there spree and god only no how the rest get there

you have a good pipe that is not "Iowa" version so i wood build a fire in the back yard and throw it in and clean the good pipe out and not build one ...

Nice Find, my Vision (Elite) was like that except dirtier. It's worth all the fun putting it together and sourcing the missing bits..
