Do the Honda Helix Scooters tip over easy?

Question

Even though i want an Elite 80 ive seen some Helixes on Ebay that were not that old that battle scars. I know they sit low, and are long.

Answer 1

LOL!  The Helix used to be the limousine of scooters!  In those days it was the biggest scooter made, it was the only one billed as a 'touring' scooter.  Today scooters are being made much bigger, the Suzuki Bergman, the Honda Silverwing, etc.  but a few years ago the Helix was as big as they got.

For its time it was a great bike, and you probably could do a lot worse today.  All scooters are very easy to ride, which is the whole reason they exist in the first place.  They have a very low center of gravity so they are very forgiving, very good for beginners just learning.

I have a mental image now of one with cow horns on it.  I think it would turn heads!  8^)
