The new 2010 Honda Elite scooter is test reviewed by Motorcycle USA:
Fire up the electronic start and the Elite’s smooth nature immediately impresses with no rattling and a whisper-quiet idle. The Elite reaches 50 mph with ease....we were more surprised with its brakes - a single 190mm disc with 2-piston caliper up front and a rear 130mm drum. Overall the riding position is comfortable and the controls felt more in tune ergonomically than other Asian-built scoots we’ve ridden. The control panel is simple and useful: Temperature gauge on the left, speedometer in the middle, fuel gauge on the right – no digital display with real-time mpg calculations or range.
The Elite sources the same engine platform as Honda’s latest fuel-injected Cub 110, a 108cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke. Above photo shows another bikes and scooters girl, Alexis Bledel, riding a Honda Cub scooter in Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.
As for the total asking price, $2999 gets you Honda build quality and reliability (with a one-year warranty), pitting it directly with the Yamaha Vino 125 ($2899).
