Honda X8R50 (af49) the skeleton scoot

[Deleted]

Bought this scoot 8 years ago. First years it even had some ducktape plastics, but it shed them all over the place. Good riddance! . There's been gradual improvement in motors and CC's. Motor1 was 50cc and now in Hondaki Tricycle, motor2 70cc is in the shelf (emergencies), motor3 101cc is in break-in mode. Already bought parts for 106cc stroker, so I'm looking forward year 2021.

These pics have been taken yesterday and today everything is covered in snow. This weather....

Happy Christmas and new year 2021.

I like it! Makes for a cool looking naked scoot. I dont know anything about the AF29. Looks like it is similar to the AF16-18 vertical motors, but longer cases? Wheels look like 13"? NICE!

that's a real cool looking CVT case too

That is a well done naked scoot.

is that a custom metal "body" over the frame or ?

Aluminum frame. I carved aluminium frame to make the front lights to fit. Everything else just naturally came together (footpegs, sidestand). I think it's great frame, but not that unforgiven, for obvious reasons.

Nice bike.
Did you have to modify the exhaust? Looks tight.
These were the last two strokes that Honda built. At least over here. Then it was all four strokes after.

Yes. There are no great bolt-on pipes for X8R, so I have to modify pipes to fit the purpose. The pipe I have is combination of old Minarelli Turbokit and original pipe. I have modified Honda Dio V8, but still prefer the mixed pipe for now. I think it's easier to modify minarelli pipes to fit this scoot.
