Really nice looking Helix....
Those were never my fav as far as styling, but, I'd own one in a heart beat, just because they were and are some of the nicest riding and most comfortable scoots on the road. And they were bullet and bomb proof

Good job! It's amazing how the style hasn't changed in nearly 30 yrs, though. lol Looks just like my '05, body-wise.

I'm glad someone else just responded because it gives me another chance to admire this one. You did a really great job to make this one stand out from the pack.

Oh my, that scooter looks really good. The best I seem to do is to get a finish that looks just more or less OK -- from 15 to 20 feet away -- if the person looking at it is near sighted -- and does not have his glasses on.

Beautiful shade of blue but one question. Is it fuel resistant?
