Honda 125 Elites in Santiago, Chile

[vintagegarage]

I was in Santiago yesterday, and there were quite a few Honda 125 Elites running around. There aren't any Metropolitans or Ruckuses on the streets, and 50cc scooters in general are rare there. I went down to the Honda dealer to check out the 125 Elites. Here are some photos:

This is a pair of new ones:


I especially liked the red, white and blue one behind the black one:


Here is the dashboard of the red, white and blue one. I really liked the twin open-topped glove boxes.. one for cheeseburgers, one for dog biscuits:


Here is the price tag for a new one. If I am doing the math right, one million, two-hundred and ninety-nine Chilean Pesos is the equivalent of $1,953 US dollars using todays currency rate:



Hard to understand why Honda has no interest in importing these to the US market.. I'd buy two of them..

They look good and all but they are too colorful for me. Would probably take off the vinyl stickers.
