2000 Honda Helix Available Used Only
Beginner Bikes
Although Honda had offered the Helix to the U.S. market, where it has developed a cult following, it was discontinued in 2003. A shame too, as it was one of the few larger scooters available to Americans. Its long, low body looks funky, but the luxurious comfort and amenities are worthy of the most expensive touring motorcycles. Seat height: 26.2 inches.

Nice middleweight touring scooter. Lengthy and a little heavy, but comfortable and it has a long history of reliability. I'd tour on one. I give it an A.
