Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

i have read tons of threads on here and have an 86 spree at the moment.i see no one talking about the fastest year stock spree,my friend when we were younger had a white honda spree it was totally stock.he said it was a 1984 it vibrated a little more than normal and had a slight louder sound(nothing to do with the muffler),had real quick acceleration(way faster than normal)we all used to drill holes in our mufflers from the side but if that was done everything was stock.honestly it would go 40 miles per hour flat ground all day long,it was not messed with though,he actually bought it off some guy who just piddled around on it and was not into making it faster and it did 40 stock..anybody out there have one of them that does 40.

I have a 86 that claims to go 28 (stock speedo is +/-4mph) I think a lot of it has to do with poor machining tolerances on the exhaust port (nearly every 2 stroke will see a gain form raising the exhaust port a ring width). That and they were all a bit faster out of the box compared to 20+ years later.
