Helmutt Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Cool little piece. Take it to the track after you slap a 125cc in it and challenge all the Zuma's running around the pits:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vw151 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I finally finished the scooter. Body work is on, exhaust is fitted and fueling seems correct. In the current configuration she'll do about 50mph on the flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-flores Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Nice, I'd rock that 80. Now all you need is some white and red pinstryping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewalls give it a cool retro appeal, oh wait.....it IS retroGood workMy favorite thing about how "retro" it is, is that it's a 2-stroke that is bigger than they can legally sell here since 1987.

magley64 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'd be showing off that exhaust, maybe put a polycarb window in that fender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienpi Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Nice ride. I didn't realize there's a law concerning 2-stroke displacement. I remember seeing the 150cc 2-stroke Stella recently, so maybe the laws have recently changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vw151 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Nice ride. I didn't realize there's a law concerning 2-stroke displacement. I remember seeing the 150cc 2-stroke Stella recently, so maybe the laws have recently changed?I'm not sure of the exact law, but the history of the Aero 80 is that it was sold from 1983-1985 (a 125 2stroke was sold in 1985 only) and was replaced by the Elite because of emissions regulations (the elite 50 remained a 2 stroke). These days I only see the japanese scooters being sold in 2 strokes when they are less than 50cc. Not sure about the modern stellas. Zuma 50, 2 stroke, anything bigger, 4 stroke, for example.

vw151 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Got the decals printed and applied today and I dyed the seat black. I think I need to lower the exhaust because I have a slight clearance issue with my fat ass on it but otherwise this thing seems done.
