Local place just (as in: this morning!) got this on consignment. I did some poking around the 'net and it seems to be a Honda Helix clone. So...anyone here familiar with them? I like that it has LOTS of storage, and I also have to admit...I kind of like the "direct from 1985" styling.  Here it is:  |

It is a CFMoto Fashion renamed , which also looks like a Honda Helix .

My girlfriend has the same thing as a Wildfire.
She loves it
Plenty of storage
If the price is right, go for it
Helix parts are plenty and readily available

So this really IS a Helix-clone, in that parts interchange? If so...well, that's a big advantage! I'm liking this one more than the XY-260! It's carb'd, right?  One weird thing: one brake (I assume rear) operates via a pedal. |

The Commuter was sold by QLINK and they still support them.

My scoot uses the same 244cc power-plant, so parts are available all over the place. (I even use the Honda manual from the late 80's for reference.) About the brake pedal, I had a Elite 125 with the same thing, but you get use to it.
