This is a ride that turns very wet due to rain. At the very beginning of the video I turned around because it started raining after only a few blocks. The rain slowed down but then started pouring and I stupidly continued riding anyway. Everything was going fine until I had to make a sudden stop behind a dark blue Nissan Altima. What I think happened was that the driver in front of me was plann...

Honda Helix Addison to Chicago 290 East
It's a good urban scooter tires are to small to be going that fast ! It does have it's limits ! I have one and it's my daily driver but 65 is my top speed to be safe.
15 min trip
I have a 2009 Q Link, Commuter 250, the Helix clone. I have had it at 76 mph, dead stock and me 215 lbs. I love it and I paid $1,200 cash about 5 years ago. I love it to death. Ft. tire blew out two years ago at 55 mph. Shattered my rt. leg. Going back to riding it this year. I can't find parts anywhere though! Particularly a plastic kit! Can anyone help me out??
Please PM me if you can help me !
79 mph ? down hill no problem ! to light for those speeds asking for trouble and accident !
I am so looking forward to buying a Helix 250.
Irresponsible riding makes motorcyclists look bad.
I had a 09 cfmoto clone of a Honda helix I bought for 300. Put it back together and rode it for 6 months. I had it up to 75mph here in central florida. I guess I did it to much to often. I blowed the rings on piston. It lost power but kept running, and I limped home, about 2 miles. Then it pucked out back through the intake and air cleaner. Oh well it was a blast for a while.
Are there any particular years for the Helix that are faster than others?
I've owned 3 and I've never gotten any of them over 70 Unless I was going down hill with a strong breeze😅 How can I increase my top end speed and maintain reliability?
Change the roller weight in it to a Heavier weight
beautiful!
Slow
More info on the bike would be cool
You pass, really late.... better hope nobody ever leans left on you
How far can you ride in one day ?
Love my 2004 Honda Helix! Very clean and gets so much attention! I hit about almost 80mph when I am on the freeway or highway here!
Nice video, Im getting a 95',,,,what tires do you recommend? I see the rating on these tires are J which is 62mph, I will be riding on streets, also, what size rollers or sliders do you think give this bike best performance? Any other tips to get maximum performance from it? TY
It actually means 62 mph at maximum weight on the tire.
Get a higher rated tire. Not sure wheel size here. On my 2006 Burgman 400, I just installed rear Pirelli Angel Tire in 140/60-13, it's doing amazing it's better rubber vs the Shinko (Korean) that I had prior. Pirelli is legendary quality. On Variator upgrades look into Dr Pulley sliders in place of rollers. I'm sure videos here show recommend upgrades.
I thought these could only do like 64mph stock. Is this Helix in the video modified?
Probably not, Yamaha Riva 180s can beat 65 so a 250 Helix should do 75
Hey Honda warrior is this scooter 100% stock going this speed or have you modified the variator or carb?
I just got the 1987 Honda elite 250.. 🙂🤟
Yo! I just picked up a 97 and i love it, I;d love to get togther with some other helix riders and do some day trips tp milwaukee ior st joe or madison. hmu!
Had my 95 Helix to 65 today, just got it yesterday. It would have gone faster, but 65 was fine for me !
didnt stand a chance
35 mph at 0:35 lol
What model year is this helix? I'm about to buy a 1994
1993
The thing is slow as a tortoise
Bruh
the speed of a tortoise is 0.65mph and the top speed of a helix is around 75mph, so this helix was going 119 times faster than a tortoise 🐢. Hyperbole? I hardly know her!
I got one of these to show 81. Checked the speedometer at 50 mph with a GPS. It was reading 1 to 2 mph high. So I was really doing about 78 mph. Not bad for a scooter with 37,000 miles. I think a worn down front tire is the cause of the error. I'm going to do the math for an increase in measured tire rotation due to a smaller diameter worn tire.
Mine was also about 2-3% high. I think that's normal for these bikes. Most vehicles actually read about 10% off, although the odometer is pretty accurate. i think the error is deliberate to make the machines seem faster than they really are.
Close Cornering those cars on the Interstate on a 250 Helix scooter. Awesome man, lol!
Never heard of this scooter. I like the display it looks so 80s futuristic i love it.
Im in Geneva. Picking up my morphous from storage next week
Notice the gas gauge didn’t move the whole time completely floored lol
It moves though trust me
I have a 07 ,2000 miles on her ,best I got out of her was 66mph ,I wish I could get 75 out if her
I was pretty light weight back then around 150lbs it makes a huge difference compared to someone who weighs 200lbs+
@@hondawarrior5714 I weigh 200, I’ve been able to get her up to 76, Helix is such a great ride
@@hondawarrior5714yeah I have two rive 180s and am 170lbs, raced a friend around 210lbs and beat him racing them by the same amount even when we switched.
Same here on my 2001!! How can I increase my top end to say 80 and stay reliabe?

هاي محد يوصل هنا غير العشاق
is 1900$ to much for a used one with over 65,000 miles?..want one so bad!...ride on fam enjoy..
Way too high of a price especially for 65,000 miles. Most you should be paying is $1400-1600 for one with 5,000-25,000 miles
🤔...So all Honda Helix scooters are automatic, right? No shifting gears or anything like that, right?
Yes that is correct. Technology known as CVT
@@W.451 no but almost all
MAN! I'll bet the people you passed were tripping s***, lol!
You should not push the high speed riding. You have J tires. They are rated for 62 mph. The Helix is much more fun a normal speeds.
J tires speed are rated at maximum rated weight load.
Try to get a higher rated tire if possible. A Pirelli Angel Scooter Tire is great quality / higher rated. If you're light or lightly loaded just back off on air pressure. I'm running at 30 psi tire says it COULD handle 587# @ 33 psi cold. But my Burgman 400 Scoot weighs 420# + 200# rider = 620-650# (add cargo) but over 2 tires that's gonna be 200#-ish on front, so rear = 420#. As that's a good bit below max load, I can lower PSI accordingly.
Great performance, but what about the water temperature? It stays on the first segment on Topspeed whereas it goes up on low speed.
This bike is water cooled and the radiator is getting direct air flow at the nose of the bike. In regular city driving is when it runs warmest due to lack of air flow to the radiator. On highway it is getting maximum air flow and therefore maximum cooling effect.
@@hondawarrior5714 I also own a Honda Helix, and in traffic jam sometimes the forth segment is visiible but only above 30°. Normally -10 - + 20° it stays on two segments, regardless of speed.
@@oliverstorz8495 what area of the world are you in?
@@hondawarrior5714 Germany - why? It doesn't get so cold here like around Chicago I guess.
@@hondawarrior5714 lol, have you seen this video yet? czcams.com/video/ispm8sjqlXQ/video.html
Nice
I subscribed can I get a subscribe back please?
I have a 2000 Helix, just got it. I live in Western Washington and I got briefly to 69 mph on I 5. But I knew it could do more. I used to live in Atlanta, was this were this was recorded, 400 south bound?
This is in Chicago
Going south towards downtown on I 90, great view of the city too
All stock ? Thinkin about gettin one looks like a blast!
Yes all stock
@@hondawarrior5714 Probably means I have to replace the rollers or something on mine - it currently only gets 63mph
@@redbaron474 the belt has a lot to do with having a normal top speed too. It gets narrower as it wears and over time the top speed will decrease as a result. But 63 is pretty low, I would run a can or two of seafoam over the coarse of 3 gas tanks and see if anything changes
@@hondawarrior5714 Well, unless team motorsports ripped me off by using a cheapo belt (or never replaced it at all) it has less than 8,000 miles on it.
Your bike sounds good!What year is it? What color? Have you done any modifications to it? Here's my Helix. If you need any help with where to get custom parts I can point you in the right direction. czcams.com/video/6eHH5jANmPo/video.html
Mine is a 1993 originally it was Honda Glory Red but I've Plasti Dipped it to flat black
@@hondawarrior5714 Here's a link to the black body panel set I used on mine. They also have sets in red, white and yellow. www.autopart2000.com/item/honda-helix-parts/complete-set-of-black-honda-he/lid=36331932
So you pushed to 79MPH in one gear. The suspension and revs felt a little on the edge!! I guess with little mods you could reach 85 or 90. I think Helix are great bikes. Thanks for the video. Be safe!!!!
Yes, i was able to reach 79 twice within this video and one of the times the suspension was wallowing around a right hand bend it was pretty sketchy and if you watch I backed off the throttle immediately. I really need to replace all four shocks they are extremely worn out.
By the way, it only has a CVT transmission like most scooters so it is only one gear at any given speed
@@hondawarrior5714 Its amazing how it can work so efficient on scooters. IN the case of the Helix the start point is not very fast but then it can develop good speeds for such a big bike. I miss mine, Im really tinking about getting another.
A cvt is an analog gear shifter and most scooters 250cc and under have them. It holds the same rpm while speeding up for the most effective power and efficiency. The largest cvt vehicle that I know of is the Yamaha majesty 400
Burgman 650 holds the crown
Are your shocks bad ?
Absolutely. You can tell? Lol
I am about to pick one of these up this weekend
What area?
New York
Looks like a ton of fun, dude
Nice.
Amazing. Just woke up And saw this video. Also, let's Be youtube partners xP
