Found a 1984 Honda Aero 125

Post by Swordsman »

I found an old Honda Aero 125, the biggest and shortest-lived 2 stroke they ever made (1984 only). It's kinda neat in a dorky semi-retro way, and I think it's priced pretty well. Anyone know much about these? I'm wondering how difficult it may be to find parts for. What's the average life cycle for a mid-80's 2 stroke?

I recommend heading over to http://www.hondaspree.net and asking the guys there. They know about all 3 of the Aero's 50,80, and 125.

there's a few people here with them that seem fairly satisfied. I guess they can be finicky at times but they always start eventually.

Nice write-up here, Aero 125, some links to possible parts.

Honestly...I think all scooters are dorky in their own sweet way!

I'd rock one of them!

I'm still pushing a mid-70's 2 stroke lawn mower, they seem to last forever (with proper care)

It's kind of funny, I just replied to an ad on craigslist two days ago about an '84 Aero 125 for sale near me. Weirdly worded ad. Not sure it's for real as the person has never responded to my email.

I would love to have one of these, although I understand that parts can be a bit of a pain to find. I'm more worried about convincing the husband that I 'need' two scooters! hahaha

Best of luck.
