A buddy of mine just got a Metropolitan, and he was telling me about a friend of his that has a 2 stroke Honda scooter that he's trying to sell. I think I can get this pretty cheap. I don't think it runs and the seller took the carb off. Now he can't figure out how to hook up all the vacuum lines. I'm wondering if parts are still available for this. I think it's the Elite model. I haven't looked at it yet. I'll be able to do all the work myself, but I was wondering what you guys thought about it. Get a project or buy a new China scooter and still do work on it to get it roadworthy.

Honda's are good scoots but honda 2-stroke scooters are a bit scarce. If it's a Spree a mint condition one can be had for $500 or less. If it's a Honda Aero 125 parts are very hard to get for it. What scooter is it? A non running Japanese scooter can run up a high bill making it right. Once there though you have something that generally will last a long time.

acd is correct. japanese parts can be pricey, my father in law got an aero125 from a barn with the hopes of fixing it up. after he got an estimate on the parts required- he junked it.
if its just the carb, might be a good buy. could be an elite 50, spree, or aero 50

Looked at it last night. It is an Express and it's a basket case. Engine runs but is making noise in the belt area. Told the guy it was probably the belt. I'm going to pass on this one because of no title. I don't really want to do a bonded title on a scooter. Unless of course it was a Vespa or some such critter. Thanks for the input though.
