I just bought a 1985 250 Honda Elite and its heating up on me. Is there a thermostate in the line. I’am not sure that the fan is working . I checked the fuse and its ok. Any suggestions?

Hello…. Very nice “Flag Ship 2nd gen Honda ch250″ Top speed on a stock 250 is 70+ mph give or take in a tuck and tailwind. Whats your top speed ? I have a stock Yamaha Riva 180 Deluxe that may give you a run : ) 75-80 mph …If not I have to break the Vespa piaggio 200 two stroke 4 speed . 80+…. Stupid speed for such little tires!!! Very nice Honda I am jealous…its one of the finest scoots ever built.. Be safe out there.

great ad. However this scooter isnt an ‘87. It’s either an 89 or a 1990 Elite 250 (with 290cc kit). These are the rarest and best of the older scooters. Parts can be sourced at the dealer (very expensive) or used on ebay. It would be great if you could give more detail about the bike especially the big bore 290cc kit. I would recommend either starting a dedicated scooter site for the second generation elite 250, or post to an existing scooter sight. Nice scoot, hope we can see some updates soon.

I have 1986 250 Elite I paid 1650.00 for it had 3500 miles in almost perfect condition original owner all the paper work and history even the original pamphlet for the 1986 elite scooter line-up tool kit never used the best gas mileage I got was 83 average is about 65.
I have a harley too but this scooter is the KIND I love it would love to know more about that 290 big bore kit for sure.
I ridden my scooter 300 miles on the freeway full throtle stop every 100 miles for gas as the tank only holds 2.1 gallons
