wuvvum Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Picked this little beauty up yesterday. It's a Honda Vision DX80, and it basically seems to be the same as a normal Vision but with a slightly bigger engine. Which means it weighs about the same as a packet of crisps and is hopelessly unstable, but will wind itself up to 45 in relatively short order - admittedly not much quicker than a modern derestricted 50 but it does it in a rather more relaxed manner than a 50 would thanks to the bigger engine. It's only done 8K from new and doesn't seem to have been thrashed, and it's bloody tidy for a 16-year-old scooter. I'm intending to use it to buzz into work on (at least until I get round to getting the Spacy back on the road) - its 45mph crusing speed means I should be OK on the 50mph single carriageway road to Norwich. Anyway, all that is mighty fine, but the real reason for this post is the wondrous vehicle I spotted just 400 yards further up the road on this nondescript housing estate in northern Peterborough. Ain't that just gawjuss? I couldn't get any closer unfortunately as there were people watching and wondering what the feck I was doing, but it looked to be in pretty solid nick without being pristine - just how I like them. And I can't remember the last time I saw a series 1 Estelle on the road. It made my day. And made me want to pull my finger out and get mine back on the road...

Spottedlaurel Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 A fine spot indeed, matches the AS background colour a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Do you have a series 1? Estelle that is. Shame you couldn't get a rear shot too. It's exactly the same shell wise, isn't it, just completely different front & rear end treatment?Oh & great scooter too! Sorry not my thing was too distracted by the Skoda!

Guest greenvanman Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Nice find, I love those '80s Hondas. I fancy a Helix for when I pass my test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Hope this isn't a thread hi-jack as it IS a Honda and it WILL be shite in a few years, but has anyone seen the new Honda DN-01? Was studying one this week and it's an odd sort of thing, quite comfortable to sit on but looks like it's a reject from an 80s futuristic movie to me and that you should be laid out full length on it! Oh and here's a pic of one with a nice girl too for no good reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I'd hit that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Looks nicer than what's on offer in Newark. No offence. Apart from the girl in the pick & white bikini who reminds me of Dannii Minogue & has now become my new wallpaper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
