Well, today I took the plunge and signed papers for a 2006 Honda Elite 80. I got took for a ride on price a little bit becausse they didnt have any in stock and have to go to Montana or South Dakota to get one. It was $2600 OTD, the break-in maintenance was included tho. I got it financed for 36 months for around $80 a month. Full coverage insurance will be $160 annually.



I intend to use this as my main ride for my part-time pizza delivery job. I'm going to have a large platform constructed on the back to strap pizza bags too, and I think I will be able to use the front storage compartment for beverages or salads. It should be interesting.

I will post pictures when I get the actual unit, as well as when I have it ready for deliveries. They actually had one of those YZF-R1 LE's at the dealership too and I will definitely get a pic of that.

 

should have bought a Zuma...you could get big bore kits and pipes for them

 

AWESOME.

That must've been the weirdest experience for the sales guys...

"Hi. Ooooh, R1 LE!! I'll take a Honda Elite 80 please."

 

definately take pics of whatever you rig up to hold the pizzas. i always see them in movies, but never in real life.

 

I looked at Zuma's but didnt like the styling. and I wasn't really looking for performance... mainly reliability.

 

Ins. for $160 ANNUALLY, NICE haha.

Sweet pick up...I always though it would be fun to have one of these to putt around on/

 

I have an 05 Honda Metropolitan II and 06 Honda Ruckus. I use them all over town. Here in Annapolis, MD you don't need tags or insurance. A helmet is also optional but I use mine. They both get 80-100 mpg and I don't have to pay for parking anywhere in the city. I'm allowed to drive them in the bike lanes so I never get stuck in traffic.

 

man, looks like a lot of fun! ahh, pizza... ummm...

 

how fast does these scooters go?

 

The metro II goes 37 after I derestricted it and the ruckus 45.

 

I'm told the Elite 80 will do 50 riding sol and 42-45 with a pax.

 

Neat little bike...You could have gotten a Kawasaki Ninja 250 for $2995 new though; but maybe thats not what you were looking for.

hey what did they call that scooter in grand theft auto?

 

What happens if they order 10 pizzas and 6 2Liter bottles of soda?

Im absolutely in LOVE with the Ruckus! Im trying to convince my pops to buy since he is an avid RV traveller. My selling point is quick transportation around various campgrounds, but in reality I just want to flog that thing! Gotta love the camo paint scheme too!

 

yea the ruckus is the ****. my dad has one as his pit bike for motocross and he loves it.

 

Fo those interested in the Ruckus. Get an 06, it's about 5mph faster than the pre-06 models.

Here's a few forums for the Ruckus

Schweet.

 

Sweet! I'd love to get one of those to put around with someday myself. I've seen one with a remote start on it? Crazy. And according to hondas website you can get the ruckus with a 250cc? Wonder how fast that would go heh
