Hello, I was a member here before, but I lost my login info and the reset process never worked.

I sold my Roketa 250B and bought a 1987 Honda Helix. Here it is after I refurbished it.

Welcome back Helix, Very nice job you did LOOKS REALLY COOL.
I understand they are very nice cruisers nice and low and they do get up there in speed.

Rich and I own Chinese clones of the Helix from CF Moto. The Helix is the paradigm of touring scooters. We can only hope to reach the kind of mileage Helix's do. But we'll do our best.

I bought my scooter cheap on CL with many miles on the odo (25,000+). It had a rough life with a couple of drops. The paint was faded and the plastic broken in a few places. The previous owner did a lot of maintenance just before I bought it. He also installed new Dunlops and a new, tall windshield. A couple of things he didn't do that I had to was install a new autochoke and adjust the valves.

Yes Rich and I both paid small sums in comparison to current model used Helix prices. Here's mine.



I currently only have 4,000 miles on my 2009 edition. Rich topped 5,000 some time ago. We both love the ride and nature of our bikes and are enjoying them immensely.

Nice lookin' scoot. I want that top case. I couldn't not find one for sale anywhere that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I ordered a smaller one that can just hold my open face helmet.
