Honda CH250 - ELITE 250 reviews

It was a great first bike! Not too much power so you can learn how to control the bike. Smooth ride and reliable. The friction zone is forgiving and it’s easy to grab the gears. It is a very forgiving bike. Show less

Classic 1985 Honda Rebel 250 cruiser with low mileage and near perfect body. Extremely well-kept bike with same owner for last 25 years and stored in-doors. Rides smooth and easy for a classic cruiser that is ideal for either new or experienced riders. Trickle charger included with bike just needs to be connected along with original manual and brand-new Yuasa Yuam327BS-YTXL maintenance free battery. Priced to sell/move in this summer warmth... well below blue book!! Show less

This is my son's first bike. It's a great, safe starter motorcycle no doubt for beginners. My son loved it so much and commuted to his high school daily. Easy to maintain. fuel efficient and reliable brand. Never regretted buying this bike but it's time to upgrade thus need to say good bye to her. Show less

I bought this bike for my son to learn on. We had a 250 Ninja, but I wanted something more sedate. He got his license and moved on to the ninja. I thought of selling the nighthawk, but it was fun and I decided to add some foam grips and a 15 tooth front sprocket a couple years ago. It can cruise comfortably at 65, but can struggle on hills and high wind. I'm approaching retirement and wanted a bigger bike, but my wife said she won't ride with me, so I figured the nighthawk will get the job done if I'm soloing it. I added a center stand and a rear rack. The most I've done in a day is about 250 miles, but I know I can take it farther with no problem. I will replace the chain and both sprockets and change the fork oil to a heavier weight, and while the rear wheel is off, replace the rear brake shoes. It delivers up to 80 MPG in good conditions, and never gets below 65 MPG. No repairs needed yet. I would recommend it to anyone who wants cheap, reliable transportation and doesn't care about impressing the Jones. Show less

found my Honda rebel on cycle trader. this is my first street bike and I must say it is awesome. Nothing like cruising around on a bike , so much fun. Show less

I upgraded to this one from five years on a 49cc Ruckus because I needed more speed and power to increase the range and choices on my ride routes. I originally went to try out a PCX but wound up trying this one too and fell for it right away. The scooter is comfortable, accelerates instantly, runs smoothly, and is easy to maneuver at low and high speeds. I ride mostly back rural roads and lots of hills and the scoot goes right up them with very little loss of power. I've had it up to 40 mph. and it has room to spare. It's fun, versatile, and I have to say I am in love with my new scoot and feel that now I can really "go somewhere" on new adventures thoughout the countryside. Go get one! Show less

Five years ago, my R1 was stolen, then I rode around on a DR650 until I crashed that one and needed to get off the highway. So I got a Honda Elite 110. Now I'm styling around San Francisco, still hopping on and off any sidewalk I please and never having to carry my gear due to the amazingly large under seat storage. It stores my full-face helmet, gloves and large Kevlar jacket with ease. When wearing the gear it takes my laptop bag and all kinds of other goodies. The main thing is how incredibly free and happy I get when I sit on that little Red Danger! It's one of the most fun vehicles I've ever owned. At 1,000 miles, this scoot has always just given me its best at over 40 mph. (I'm still a little scared of speed after my crash - but it has gone 50 mph. for me) and it gives an amazing 80 mpg. I've gotten 100 mpg. once for the entire tank when I stayed at or below 35 mph. Take THAT high gas prices! It sits amazingly comfortably, it's balanced, so handling and putting it on the stand is so easy. Everything is Honda Perfect on this scoot, and before I forget, I left 150's in the dust more than once! This scoot does not care that it's only marked 110cc, it rides like a much stronger engine. Well done Honda! Show less

This is my first scooter, and I did a lot of research before buying one. Because of the Honda name, it already had a positive on it's side regarding reliability. I've had it for about 2.5 months and love it! I've encountered no problems so far. It runs really smooth and quiet. I've had it up to 50 mph. which is good enough for me. I don't like driving any scooter faster than that, since it's not made for that kind of speed. They're too light, tires are too small etc., unlike my 1300cc VTX I have in my garage. I've been getting about 92 mpg. on mostly flat land. The cargo space is crazy big, unlike my 1300 which has none. And it's really, really, really fun riding this thing around. Oh, by the way, the parking is wonderful. Most of the time I'll just park in the front of the store or in the bicycle area which is always closer to the store's entrance. I've already saved around $200 in gas versus taking my car to work so far. I love this thing! Show less

I just got this scooter a week ago. It is my first scooter and it's a blast to drive! I have had two motorcycles in the past - a 500cc and a 750cc but this Elite is way more fun to drive!!! I am no lightweight at 230 lbs. but this scooter will do 50 mph. all day. However that's as fast as it will go. It has to be governed or limited to 50 mph. I know this because I had it going 50 on the flats and then went down a big hill and it stayed at 50. If anyone knows how to de-restrict this machine please let us know!!! I live around 45 mph. and 50 mph. roads so going that speed I'm getting 80 mpg. I'm hoping that it will go up when it warms up and gets broken in. It will fit a full face helmet under the seat. It has great storage, super brakes and lots of fun to drive! Show less

I have owned my Elite 110 for a year now and I use it for running around my small town. I occasionally ride it to Fresno on the back roads. At 50 mph. it runs well. I could use another 10 mph., but that is why they have shoulders on the roads. It's very comfortable and easy to manuver in traffic. It catches a lot of positive attention and gets great mileage as well. Show less
