Longer, lower and better for touring than any scooter to date, the Helix was a landmark scooter that inspired many of today's maxi-scooters.  The Helix was the first scooter to feature a rear trunk and its decent size, along with a nice glove box, makes longer rides more feasible.  The intention of the Helix was to address the shortcomings that hinder scooters on the highway like short wheelbases, limited storage, mediocre brakes, and marginal comfort. In the USA, the Helix was sold from 1986 to 1987 and then it was dropped for 1988 as '87 models were clogging showrooms.  By 1992, that backlog was long gone and American enthusiasts began to realize what they had lost.  Honda responded to the requests of quite a few enthusiasts and returned the Helix to the USA market.  The Helix grew into a decently popular scooter and its owners are often quite enthusiastic about it.  It has a strong 'cult' following, especially in Japan. The Helix's motor is a low stressed, 2-valve 4-stroke engine that uses liquid cooling to keep the temperatures steady on all day high-speed rides.  This motor offers exceptional reliability and even today in its old age is still a strong performer.  The top speed is about 75 mph, cruising comfortably at 65-70 mph while achieving around 65 mpg. The Helix has a foot pedal for the rear brake like the larger Elite scooters.  Up front, it uses a disc brake, which was big news for its time.  When it was introduced the Helix was the only Honda scooter with a front brake.   The Helix offers a generous amount of storage, with a rear trunk made possible by its long design.  The stretched out length of the Helix allowed Honda to add the first ever rear trunk to a scooter, which was a radical concept at the time.  In addition to being long, the Helix is  low with a record setting 26.2" low seat, and has perhaps the longest wheelbase of any scooter at 63.8".     This unit features a Kenwood radio that was a genuine Honda accessory.
