1999 Honda reviews

This bike is sooo much fun! I got it as a x mas present. The owner never rode it but took good care of it so my dad got it for me. I love this bike! The stock version fouls plugs easily but I have mine jetted right and it has SO much power and I can clear triples easy, even 80 foot table tops! This thing flys! I have a lot of experience on dirtbikes so I'm not so sure this is a beginner bike. It is for more experienced riders like me. Even though I'm a small guy, I can still fit on it and handle it.

Ran up another 4000 and still love the bike. I have read that it would be better with a tac, or with gas gauge or with disk on the back wheel. Going back to the Honda dealer I found they make a bike with all of these just different bikes. They even make one with a different gearing!!! I'll take the bike I have. Back to basics motorcycle, you don't work on it, you ride it. Show less

My 1999 XR100 dirtbike is incredible!! I've had it going pretty fast about 70kph. I went from a 1985 XR80R to this awesome Bike! You can go through anything...Mud,Water,etc...I would recommend this bike to anyone, it's a fun bike and it gets the job done too! Have fun out on the trails! Show less

The scooter is actually a 1998. I bought it used with 125 miles on it. The original owner rode it for a week and did not feel safe. It was in a garage for 8 years. The local Honda shop rebuilt the carburator and did all of the other needed work. It runs like new! Most of my riding is within 10 miles of home. The top speed is 42 mph. I keep to roads with a speed limit of 40 or less. I would feel very uncomfortable on any road that is faster. Mileage is at least 70 mpg. I took the motorcycle safety course and considered a small motorcycle. At my height, nothing under 600cc felt comfortable. On the scooter, I sit back where the passenger would sit. It is surprisingly comfortable. Automatic transmission is an added benefit. In 1973 I bought a 7 year old Honda 50. I rode it for a year trouble free. My guess is the Elite 80 will perform equally well. As nice as the Elite 80 is, I am considering a bigger scooter. My choice would be a Suzuki Burgman 400 (Model AN 400). It has gotten great reviews and is a pretty good fit. One word of advice: Always wear a helmet, even on a little scooter! Show less

Oh my GOSH!, I bought this bike used from a friend and it is killer!, handles like a dream, very very fast, clean looking easy to take care of. I added an Erion exhaust system and didn't even have to jet it and that let it breathe more and about 5% more HP. Keep up the great work Honda. Show less

I just got this bike two months ago. It is my first REAL bike, and I love it. It is easy to ride and low maintenence so far. I hope it gives me many years of pleasure and fun in the sun here in Florida. Show less

I purchased my 750 Ace back in May '05. I have since added numerous add-ons. This bike runs along side a Honda 1800, Honda 1300 and Honda 1100. My friends own all of these bikes and I can cruise all day right with them. If I may say so, it's the best-looking bike in the group. It has great gas mileage - over 60mpg. You won't go wrong with this bike. I also recommend a mustang studded seat cover (it looks great) on this bike. Show less

After being down from a bike wreck (Oct. 04), I had a lot of time to study all the bikes out there. I wished I never spent so much time with the three money hungry H-D models I owned. I found a '99 Interstate with 13,000 mi. for a great price even with add-ons! This bike is just flat out awesome, no complaints here. H-D enthusiasts can't say anything negative about it, either. If they do, it's either false or due to envy. This one's a keeper... unless I buy a different Valkyrie! Show less

My wife and I bought a new 1999 Honda Shadow VLX 600, well back in 1999. From the moment I took off from the dealerships lot, I knew that this was a perfect ride. I changed the stock mufflers and went with cobra drag pipes also rejeted the carb. It made a big difference in this little bike's performance (exellent sound from a 600). Highway ridin' ain't all that bad either. My wife and I together weigh in @ just a little over 300 pounds and we've had it in the mountains of West Virginia @ least 6 times. Very nice ride.

I purchased a 1986 Helix in early April and have not been able to stop riding it since. With the price of gas ever increasing this has been the best purchase I made this year (Under $2000). The Helix had 9300 miles when I bought it and I have put 5000 miles on it to date. It has been a blast to ride this summer and at 75 mpg it is my primary means of transportation now. One of the best features of this scooter is the rear storage compartment which can hold more items than one might imagine. Also, with the creative use of "bungee cords" you can secure quite a number of items across the rear passenger seat, a Laptop Computer, for instance. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for an inexpensive means of transportation not to mention the "fun factor" that comes as standard equipment. Show less
