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.

Schoolboy Heroes

Fri, 04 Mar 2011

A wet and grey day in Calais in 1992 wouldn’t be the obvious situation for a life changing experience, but for a 11 year old lad on a boring booze cruise from Dover this is exactly what happened. Pockets bulging with funny money I headed to the Tabac for the obligatory bangers, dirty playing cards and some sweets.  Then it happened, I stood in front of the magazine rack and reached up, as if drawn by an external force.  At the time I wasn’t tall enough for Playboy or L’ Escort so settled for a copy of Moto Verte, the French motocross mag.  Life would never be the same again. Inside there was a double page spread, with a fresh faced Jeremy McGrath resting a leg over his #15 Honda CR125.  Sporting a pair of fluro MX trousers with a, now retro, bright white surname emblazoned jersey, and casting an eye over a seriously vast motocross park.  I stared at this Sinisalo advert all the way home, partly because all the articles were in foreign, but also because I was transfixed.  What and how do I become a motocross champion?

Bonhams To Sell Garelli Grand Prix Collection At No Reserve

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

Mark your calendars for February 5 and 6, 2013, as those are the dates when Bonhams — one of the world’s largest auctioneers of fine arts and antiques — will put for sale two motorcycle collections which include some incredibly rare and historic machines. The Grand Palais in Paris, France will play host to the auction, which includes the entire Garelli Grand Prix collection as its headliner. Founded in 1919, many famous Italian racers got their starts on Garelli motorcycles.

Bradl's Red Bull Honda for Indy

Fri, 17 Aug 2012

At the Indianapolis MotoGP Stefan Bradl's LCR Honda will be sporting this one-off Red Bull livery. The MotoGP rookie has been impressive so far in his debut year with a fantastic riding style. So hopefully he'll continue his run of form and encourage the energy drink giant to stay on board, as the colours look smart on the Honda RC213V.
