Honda Other description

1987 Honda Helix CN250


Overall Condition:
Runs very good, looks nice. I repainted it when I bought it a Mazda Graphite Metallic color on the upper panels and a Honda Silver on the lower panels. The clear coat has worn off, so the scooter could use a repaint. The scooter presents itself well.

The Good:
  • Legendary Honda reliability even at 26,000 miles on the odometer
  • Plenty of power for the city as well as the back roads. Top speed ~70mph, but it is happy around 60 - 65 mph
  • ~60 mpg. Could do better with some tuning
  • Lots of storage in the factory trunk and the aftermarket top case.
  • Tires with plenty of tread remaining
  • Good brakes. New shoes in rear drum.
  • New centrifugal clutch with stiffer contra-spring for faster ratio increase
  • New variator and weights
  • Crystal clear windshield
The Bad:
  • Clear coat worn
  • Seat painted with Dupli-Color vinyl paint but has started to chip
  • Missing front shock covers
  • Some body panels have minor cracks visible when examined closely.

    Schwantz School, the ultimate track experience?

    Mon, 22 Aug 2011

    If having one-to-one instruction from an ex-MotoGP World Champion is your dream, then why not put the Schwantz School on your Christmas list for 2012. Ok, it’s in America and slightly more expensive than your average track day ($2750 for two days at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway) but many satisfied customers will argue this is the best rider training experience in the world. Your hard earned Dollar will see you alternate between the classroom and track from 8am until 4pm, then Kevin will take you on a track tour where he explains riding techniques and answers questions (he even drives the bus).
