Honda Other description

Honda Helix 1988 – Low Mileage (9265) - RELISTED due to non paying bidder (NOTE: I will report all non paying bidders)!

Reason for selling: I bought this bike for my wife but she could not get the hang of it

Honda Helix is known as the most comfortable scooter to ride (250cc).

It has a trunk to carry groceries, etc.

The tires and battery are good (rear tire has a slow leak)

The seat has been recovered.

 The average price for these models is $1000 - a similar model (white) non running just sold here for $500 (for parts?).

 This bike was repainted (red) by a previous owner and the new paint scratches easily.

 I test drove just before this listing; it runs strong. Guaranteed to start, run and drive upon delivery.

 Buyer is responsible for selecting an auto/motorcycle transport and paying all shipping frees (I have been quoted under $400). Guaranteed to start, run and drive upon delivery (for long shipment may need battery recharge). 

 Local buyers please contact me to arrange a test drive (north of Cottonwood).

 Payment by cash, cashiers check or bank certified check (as recommended by Ebay) within 3 days.

A video of this scooter is available on You Tube - title is Honda Helix Red 1988 - Sedona AZ

 

Disclosures: There is a replacement mirror on the left side (wife ran into a bush – the bike was never dropped during our ownership).  There is also a dime to quarter size hole in the left rear turn signal. I didn’t even notice it until the tape covering it came off. I will look for some replacement tape. A plastic trim piece on the right side is broken - temporary repair in place (bondo and black paint).

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Honda Reports Q3 2011-2012 Results

Tue, 31 Jan 2012

Honda reported a 41% decrease in net income over the third quarter, thanks primarily to the rising Japanese yen, continuing effects from the Japanese earthquake and floods in Thailand interrupting automobile production. Thanks to recovering auto sales and growing motorcycle sales in emerging markets, Honda reported a net profit of 47.6 billion yen (US$624 million) in the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2011.

BMW 1000RR and the Honda C70, are they indestructible?

Wed, 20 Apr 2011

I’ve managed 1374 miles on the Michelin Power Pures (mostly on track) and although we’ve had some decent temperatures they still look like new so there’s plenty meat left for another month at least. I’ve been running them at 30psi front and 32psi rear and find they warm up after a few miles but I wouldn’t say the temperature comes any quicker than any of the competition so it has to be four miles before I get brave. I’ve had a few out the seat moments with my BMW but I have got the rear suspension  set pretty hard (8 rebound,8 compression, two turns on pre load) and in slick mode, so 190bhp in first gear at the Knockhill hairpin is always going to be dodgy.

Miguel Duhamel is returning to action to race in the FIM e-Power International Championship for Lightning Motorcycles. The five-time Daytona 200 winner will ride the Lightning Barracuda electric motorcycle for the joint FIM and TTXGP race at Le Mans , and Motorcycle.com had a role in setting up the connection. The topic of a rider for Le Mans came up during the preparations for Associate Editor Troy Siahaan‘s exclusive test of the Lightning race bike last month.
