My "New" Scoot

Post by robrowald »

I just picked up a "new" scoot.

1985 honda spree, in near mint condition...
only has 522 miles on it.

check out these pics...

the pics were taken with my phone so the quality isn't the greatest...
time to drain the oil and add RP, and buy another NGK sparkplug...

took it out and it will do 35mph with me on it (though ot takes a while to getthere) not too shabby considering i weigh almost 300 pounds.

now to mod it a bit for better take off speed and a couple more MPH

will teh intake mod help low end take off?
