Default is anyone here into Honda scooters/mopeds? Honda Dio/Elite-s??

I've been researching them, some companies sell big bore pistons, stroker kits, exhaust kits, carbs etc.....i've seen claims of 14 second quarter mile times and speeds of 100+mph....pretty crazy huh....i'm definitely wanting to get one

check out the bike of the month here

im doubting 100mph, ive ridden one, and UNLESS you swap the motor, 100mph seems impossible.

yeah, there are bunch of shops, Daytona, Kitako, and some others sell bore-up kits.

you can bore/stroke the motor to 125cc, and put different gears in it.....so even if you can't go 100mph....you can mod the ccrap out of them...disc brakes, upgraded supsension etc

i wouldnt doubt the 100 mph estimate. the elites are governed as it is so with a new carb, gears, big bore kit and a pipe i dont think that 100 would be too out of reach
