They aren't bad looking mopeds. There was one on c-list here recently at a good price i just didn't have the cash to get it.

i can get this one for $120, he said he has the exhaust just has to be welded back on or something and idk about the throttle cable

Hint on the throttle cable: if "stuck" a 10 speed gear cable (inner), with the appropriate end for your throttle, in the original "outer", and a knot tied in the cable to engage the carb slide.

I'd be willing to bet there may be parts honda.

You sure its an 86? I had one when i was a kid, my first scooter. It was an 83 i think...?
I guess i always assumed they stopped production of the Express when the Spree was released.?

Some good info there for folks interested in the older bikes. Brent might want to incorporate that info into his tech database somewhere.
