2002 Honda CH80 review from United States of America
"Tough to beat"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing.
General comments?
The Elite is extraordinary! Purchased with expectation of getting 75 to 80 MPG's. Am regularly getting well over 115 MPG's in spite of weighing well over 200 lb's. This is probably due to running less than full throttle (30 to 35 MPH) on flat road.
The seat is very comfortable. Speedo is easy to read. Braking is very adequate.
It is comforting knowing that service, if ever needed, is just minutes away.
I don't know what one does with a troublesome Chinese scooter purchased on the 'net. Am looking forward to a trouble free experience with this very practical and reliable product.
