I'll have about 1000 to spend after I sell my spree. I am looking at this 2000 elite s around here for 850 but i was wondering if there were any other scoots in this price range that are capable of being modded enough to go about 60-65.
What do you guys think? There are some TGB's around here for 1000 but I know nothing of mods for them.

that would be a good clone to get. Not sure about quality of plastics and such, but you could probably build it up same as a zip since it should be the same case.

i dissagree, i think if you want a good reliable bike the honda elite is a PERFECT choice, i know alot of you guys got these things for these chinese made 4 strokes and cheap bikes like the vento, but once you own a honda, the quality will not dissapoint you. i have worked on a few bikes here and their and horizontal motors are hard to work on, just the overall spacing. if your going horizontal keep it original, yamaha JOG, thats my opinion
