The Scooter Guys specialize in scooters from Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki. Scooters are defined by their floorboard frame design and their low mounted drive train. There are a two distinct types of scooters, the Classic design and the Modern design. The "Classic" design is defined by steel body work and manually shifted gear boxes. Vespa and Lambretta are the most widely known of the "Classics". Vespas are still in production today.
The term "Modern Scooters" generally refers to scooters having plastic bodies and automatic transmissions. Engine displacements typically range from 50cc. to 250cc. These are the type you will find at The Scooter Guys. I must also mention the new generation of touring scooters, with available engine displacements approaching 600cc. and packed with the latest technology, they take scooters out to the open road and beyond!
Below are just a few examples of the scooters we specialize in. Parts for this style scooter can be found on the next few pages.

1983 marked the beginning of the Aero line of Honda scooters. Aeros were all powered by a 2-stroke engine. The 50cc. model was produced thru 1987, with a design change in '85. An 80cc. model ran from 1983 thru 1985 and the Aero 125 was a one year only model in 1984. |

The Elite series was launched in 1987. The 50cc. 2-stroke Elites had several versions thru the end of the century. Larger Elites are 4-stroke powered with displacements from 80cc. to 250cc. |

Yamaha Riva scooters somewhat follow the same line as the Elites. The smaller versions have 2-stroke engines while the larger models are 4-stroke. The Riva 180 pictured here is a very road worthy scoot. Those looking for a commuter, should check out Riva 125s, 180s and 200s. |

The Helix came on the scene in 1986. The freeway is where these scooters are most at home. The 244cc. 4-stroke single delivers a top speed of 70 mph. There are numerous clubs dedicated to this model. |
