Three words describe this scooter: Alot of Fun! I bought my '01 from a guy that lives about 10 miles from me. I got an incredible deal on it ($1200!!). The bike had only 2800 miles on it when I bought it. The only things I have had to do have been to replace the tires (10" rear, 12" front) and replace the cap that covers the antifreeze compartment (blew off when riding). The bike runs like a champ. Off the line, it smokes other cars at a stop light. I have had the scooter over 70 mph (as indicated by the dash), but suspect its about 2-3 mph less than that. Most of the time, on the highway, I ride about 65 mph. I get nearly 70 mpgs!!! The quality and build of the bike is admirable. I have owned many bikes over my time riding, and this has to be among the most comfortable bikes I have ever ridden. Sometimes though, my upper back starts to hurt, due to the far forward positioning of my feet. This bike has a lot of practicality to it, too! There's ample storage in the rear. It can easily hold two full face helmets, or several bags of groceries! The bike has easy to use signals, lights and an easy to understand dashboard. It even has a digital fuel gauge! The bike has a front brake on the top right handle and a rear brake on the floorboard right side. I love the looks of the scooter and get lots of compliments and questions, something which I never got on a regular motorcycle. All in all, you can't go wrong with this scooter. It's so much better built than what you will find in the Chinese Clone market (take the QLink clone for example, which just looks like a Helix, without the quality parts!!). If you want a reliable, good looking, great performing bike, and can find one used, buy it!!!

Great for everything from city streets to state highways, I can count on 65mph on level roads and 60mpg on fuel efficiency. I bought a 2006 in 2006...it has already paid for itself with gas alone! Above all, it is DEPENDABLE. It DELIVERS. It has added such richness to my life.

I bought my yellow Honda Helix to go 8 miles to the train station because there are no parking places available for cars. It is great for this short easy commute. The biggest reason for buying this scooter over others is the trunk space. I fit my entire purse, coat, brief case, small emergency kit and tools in it. I have also picked up dry cleaning in it. To resolve having to turn it off and pull out the key to get into the glove box for the remote garage opener, I got a small universal garage button that goes on the key ring. I don't ride everyday so I put a cap full of fuel stablizer in each tank of gas and that helps from getting the mesh in the gas filter from getting clogged. I haven't had any trouble turning lights green, they respond to this vehicle fine.

Found a new yellow '04 Helix for sale at a Honda dealership for a discounted price, so went ahead and got it. Have had quite a few other bikes, including a Yamaha Riva 125 scooter, and currently also have a Kaw Vulcan 500. I read all the reviews I could find on the Helix before deciding to get it, since was torn between getting it, a Big Ruckus, or a Morphous. Glad I got this, and so far must agree with what most of the other reviews say about this great machine. The ride is indeed smooth as silk, and very comfortable. What others say about it generating a lot of interest and folks wanting to strike up conversations and ask about it is true. I've noticed it really attracts the attention of a lot of women especially who think it is cute, and the ones I've gotten to take rides on it love it - this thing is a bona-fide chick magnet unlike any other bike I've ever had! While at this point it has over 700 miles on it, it feels like it has a long way to go before being "broken in". Have had it easily up to 70mph, and up to 75 breifly when riding alone. While it has plently of get-up-and-go, and acceleration is quite adequate, unlike a motorcycle, nailing the throttle from a dead stop doesn't do much, and you're never going to take off like a rocket-ship. I think one of the best skills you can develop to get the most out of this scooter is how to work the throttle and smoothly get up to speed while slowly advancing the throttle just enough to get you there. Handling and cornering is extremely nimble at any speed, and it almost begs to be dipped down into a corner like a sport bike. With the low center of gravity, it is quite easy to come to almost a complete stop without having to put your feet down. Between myself and a passenger, we have exceeded the max weight limit (350lbs) by about 100 pounds, but it handles the load fine, and haven't bottomed out the suspension yet. I do make sure though when doing this to take it easy, and stick to known smooth roads where I rarely need to exceed 45mph. I have noticed when overloaded, there is a slight shudder felt when starting out from a stop. It feels like it happens when the clutch is trying to engage, but seems to be smoothing out as the bike get more broken in. The effects of overloading can also be clearly seen in higher readings on the coolant temp guage from the engine working harder. While there is a cooling fan behind the radiator, its effectivness is questionable. You don't want to stay stopped for too long letting the engine idle, or the temp gauge really starts rising fast. While I haven't gotten the temp into the red, it did get into the yellow once after sitting for a few minutes before I started moving to get more air through the radiator. The storage space in the trunk is a lot more than one would think at first glance, and you can easily get a few 6-packs in there. The glove box space, on the other hand, is only enough for a pair of goggles on one side, and garage door opener on the other without much room left over. One must be careful when filling the gas tank, and keep the flow slow when nearing full, or else it will splash up. Overall though, I would have to say that it is the probably the most fun bike I've had, and a great ride, not to mention extremely practical. All bikes have their own unique personalities, and I've concluded the Helix has a lot more charm and charisma than most, even if it is slow and funny looking compared to a big bike. Everybody, freinds and strangers, seem to love it and think "that thing is cool". It's just a whole different mindset, mentality, and way of riding than a motorcycle, and in my opinion a better overall vehicle if you're not concerned with doing any extended road trips on 70mph highways.

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.

It is user friendly with the automatic transmission and electric start. It is also very comfortable. The 26.2 seat hight is one of the reasons the Helix appealed to me. My buddy is 6ft 4in, 275 lbs and loves his Helix. He has almost 9000 miles on his 2004. If you're looking for a scoot that does it all, the Helix is the one for you.

This is the second Helix I have bought for my wife. The first was a '87 we bought from private party and kept for 4 years. It burned oil but ran ok and we got milrage of about 6ompg combined with it. Sold it for half of what we bought it for and started looking for replacement. Looked at all the new scooters out there that are of bigger displacement but settled in on another used Helix'92 that I founf at a dealer. It had 9500 miles on it but looked new. Paid $2200 for it. Tried the rest but wife seems to love the Helix the best. New one gets between 65-72 mpg combined. Gotta love that with gas prices and been getting lots of use! I believe anyone who picks up the helix will see how great a lil scooter it is for the value,

I love the fact that I can sit on this bike while it is on the center stand, and my feet are flat on the ground. I love the huge trunk. It stores all the stuff my bike might need - cover, airpump light, a small assorted tool box with various hand tools, 1 quart oil, 1 quart radiator fluid and a mat for me to rest on while checking the tires or oil. It also has a decent sized glove box to hold my cell phone DC charger, and black GI beret. I love the way this beast handles. I have ridden a Reflex and it was nowhere near as comfy. Also, the seat was quite a bit higher. I also have ridden a 200 CC Vespa. While my bike is loaded down, the blasted Vespa was empty. The Helix even loaded down out-accelerated and out-braked the Vespa, and was a lot more comfy to ride. The turning was about equal, though.
