honda spacy 250 (elite)

[maxlee]

hi guys

just been on a little trip to pick up a washing machine the lady turns round as says "do you no any one that would want a old bike" me thinking a push bike said "not at the moment" then I see a wing mirror and we have a bit of a chat

turns out its a Honda 250spacy had a look on ebay can't find one looads of info on the net about them but no guide on what its morth with no paper work keys etc looks to be in good shape from what I could see

any one got any idea on what I should offer her?

few pics from the net


Thought the clocks were cool

£100?

well its features in the terminator so for that add at least three fiddy

Actually its the earlier version with pop up headlight thats in the terminator.

Any tax/MOT? Running/complete? If you can pick it up for £100 you've done alright if the condition isn't too bad. Restowagen had a few of the 125 versions (with the pop up headlight), he had one up for sale a year or so ago which he'd done a fair bit of work on, was pretty much complete with a lot of MOT and had it up for £575 iirc. Bear in mind that his was a 125 so it 'attracts' a slightly larger audience of people without a full license who want some cheap wheels. If it's got no paperwork or keys there's a few quid outlay for get a new V5, lock set. Could turn out to be a money pit if it needs a lot of work/parts. ;D

thanks for the reply's guys

picked it up to day pushed it 0.3 miles home i need to give up smoking almost killed me lol
so it has one key no logbook and not running (yet) didn't have time to play as looooads of stuff to do will get some pics up when i get chance it looks complete and not to battered its gold in color
and on a B reg think i see a disc brake on the front drum on the back no play in the rear wheel thats all at the moment will have a good play once Christmas is out the way

Result, well done gent.

[maxlee]

think it was a result was a bit unsire but more i look round it the better it looks

heres a picture



had a quick play to day speedo etc all worked needs a battery going to take the spark plug out and put some red x down the bore before starning/tuning it over etc new fuel and engine oil and i'll give it a go. coolent is a nice green color instead or rusty water looking over it looks in pretty good shape no read signs it been crashed

whats a good site/page to find out last on road number of owners etc ??

[dungbug]

Looks well, could break it & make a drink if it turns out to be a nail....Win win situation.

I had the panel off to day looks in good shape for a B reg bike

the plan is to get it running log booked clean it and put it on ebay I can't ride a 250 on the road that and stopping my dog marking it is a pain in the ass lol haven't found one on ebay yet bet when I put it on 6 go on there

wile surching i found people use the engine in off road go carts

I wouldn't mention running it with the battery disconnected it usually leads to a destroyed charging circuit in short order as it needs a battery in the system to control the voltage/ current - even a stuffed one will do as long as it will absorb some charge

[maxlee]

are right it was just for a sec take battery off then look up and turn off i didn't think about that tho
