Score! Been looking for a scooter for a few months and just picked this up for next to nothing. No title, key or paperwork or any kind but it has spark and good plastic, that's worth the money right there. Not sure of the year but it's a Honda Elite 150 so it can only be one of four years that they made them. If I can't get it running I can easily make money on the plastic and parts. 3K miles, only problem with the plastic is a scratch on the front fender and a broken turn signal which can be repaired. This the very cool, flip up headlight model. It'll be coming in the house tomorrow so I can work on it at my leisure.







I'm not worried about the lack of paperwork unless it turns out stolen. I can register it and get a title in either VT or NH not sure which but it's easy enough from what I've read.
The used exhaust will sell on eBay for more than I paid so if I can't get it running it'll be parted out. I hope I can get it running though. Sounds like it could be as simple to fix as a cheap CDI unit from what I've read online today.

Well, sad day. The Mojito is sold ($200 more than I paid for it 2 years ago) and on it's way to it's new home in Brooklyn. It'll fit right in and the new owner owned the Euro model, Habana, when he lived in London. Gone to a good home and will make a perfect city scoot...

I'm taking my bike to Carpenter again to get the tranny rebuilt, maybe in a couple weeks when I pick it up. Your Florida trip looked fun, the wife and I have decided to go south in a year or too, house is too big and winters are too cold here
