1986 Honda Helix CN250, 1986 HONDA HELIX CN250 SCOOTER 1986 was the first year the Helix was produced. It has a 250cc liquid cooled single cylinder motor, front disc brake, and rear drum brake. I rebuilt the front brake system, and both the front discs and rear drum shoes are like new. The tires are in very good condition as well. The scooter is 28 years old and has 41,831 miles on it, that's less than 1500 miles per year. It has a stainless steel after-market exhaust. It has a locking glove box, a locking gas tank, and a huge trunk. The trunk can hold two helmets, or several bags of groceries, and locks as well. The helmets are not included with the scooter. I'm selling it because I'm down-sizing and moving out of state. It is a large scooter, and can easily handle 2 people. I've heard tales of folks taking these coast to coast in the USA. While I've owned it, it has been garage kept. I am holding a clear title for this scooter. Things I have done to this scooter: Put on a new carburetor. Put in a new air filter. Installed a new spark plug Drained, removed, and cleaned the gas tank. Put in a new inline gas filter. I have used only ethanol free fuel in it since I have owned it. Drained, the oil, cleaned the oil screen, and put in new manufacturer's suggested oil. Drained the cooling system, flushed it, and refilled with new coolant. Drained the CVT transmission and refilled it with manufacturer;s suggested oil. Installed a new battery. Hardwired a Battery Tender harness to the battery, and the Battery Tender charger is included in the sale. Replaced and repaired some body work, like turn signals and running lights. Recovered the original double seat with a custom made seat cover. It starts quickly, runs well, and is pretty fast. Now, it's got almost 42,000 miles on it, and it does smoke mostly on start-up. It's in decent shape, but it's far from perfect. There's a few body panels missing (see photos), but they can easily be purchased on Ebay or other internet sites if you're looking to do a full restoration. The paint is pretty good considering it's the original paint job. The handlebar starter button was moved to just below the seat, (see photo) because the original one went bad when the previous owner had it. Everything works. It's retro looking, fun, and everyone waves and smiles when you drive by. I'm asking $1095.00 for it. I'll probably accept a REASONABLE offer. $1,095.00 Contact me through cycletrader for more high resolution photos.
