Honda X8R 50cc Sept '00 (X)
Overall Rating:
Review
Well, what can i say? i've had the bike for 2 years, and in that time i had been fixing it up, making it roadworthy, etc.it's the X8RS (or sport model of the X8R)i have had it on the road since the beginning of April. it runs well, but as it is still restricted it will only 37MPH before the needle on the speedo strts to shake violently!! lol but yeah it takes about 3 seconds to go from 0-40(sometimes) and goes well. the handling could be a little better, especialy on tight corners! i have recently nearly written it off thanks to a tight corner and wet road because of handling, but it hasn't stopped me getting back on it and ragging the hell out of it!! lol

Regards Grant

ps. if anyone knows how to de-restrict one of these, or any other little tricks and tips, email me at grantfisher91@yahoo.co.uk!! thanks

I've had mine about 4 moths now and I've some good fun on it. It can go anywhere on or off road! The only problem is the cdi box. I went in some woods the other day with my brother who has a DT125. We were riding through all the puddles and we came to a steepish hill, so I leaned fowards and went up it I waited for my brother but his bike couldn't make it. So this is the best ped out there, but get the X!!

I have had my my bike for about 2 months and it's one of the best looking scooters on the road. It is a limited addition and you cant get it in my colours anywhere

A GREAT LOOKING BIKE VERY RELIABLE AND HAS GOOD FUEL ECONOMY AND GREAT HANDLING. THIS BIKE MUST BE DE-RESTRICTED BECAUSE IT IS SLOW. THE BASIC DE-RES WILL INCREASE THE TOP SPEED TO 42 MPH. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND XRS8 AS A FIRST BIKE

Hi, not a bad bike, most fun I've had out of all my bikes. They are restricted by cdi unit, variator(needs replacing) and exhaust. mine did about 45-50, with arrow exhaust. I then put a 70cc kit, malossi variator/roller/gear up and its now dead...

The worst scooter ever. Don't buy one of the slowest bikes in the world. Put it this way, I get over taken by Puch Maxis. My mate Glenn has a Piaggio NRG which can wheelie past me. His does about 67mph down hill and about 62mph on the flat
