Honda X8R 50cc

Just got my Honda x8rs and I absolutely love it! Incredibly reliable, it was stood for four years without even being turned over and after charging the battery it started first time! It's a very comfortable bike and quick too it will shoot upto 35mph in no time.

Also for those of you looking to derestrict your x8r I found out how to derestrict the cdi unit without buying one of those pricey aftermarket ones. What you need to do is open the front case, above the light there is a separate panel. Slightly underneath it there is something what looks like an air vent, there should be one screw holding the panel in place remove it and the small panel should slide off. Next to the battery you will see a little black box on the left hand side held in place by a rubber gromet that's your cdi unit. Pull the cdi out of the rubber grommet and detach the wire underneath. Now you've taken your cdi out turn it round so the White socket part is facing you. Now on the bottom left of the cdi unit opposite the White plug cut through the rubber about 5mm with a knife until you find a little copper wire don't worry if you don't find it straight away there's nothing else in there you can damage. Cut this wire and bend them apart. Now seal it with silicone to avoid the wire getting wet and possiblity of shorting out. Plug your cdi back in and put it back in the rubber grommet then put the panel back on. Your cdi is now derestricted! You should notice a difference of about 10mph. This will work on all versions of the x8r, x8rs and x8rx.

Mine woud only do 33mph before now it's pushing 45! Hope this helps and saves someone some money. If your not sure what the cdi box looks like just google it!

Owned mine since May 2010

Road legal in July 2010

Even to this day, not a problem with the engine.

Obvious wear and tear occured, throttle cable snapped.

Mines derestricted at the variator ring. Still got standard CDI and Exhaust and pulls 45 but piston is bouncing!

Pollini variator kit came with it, making it such a fast accelerating bike. Will Beat my Mates Neos with race clutch, 60mph sr50r and 55mph ay50

Expensive! Mine, on 02 Plate with 3000 miles when bought was 775, but it was absoutely imaculate!!

Good fun, brakes work well, good for stoppies, plenty of pull for wheelies and will spin the wheel in the wet!

Will be 17 in July 2011, even considered not getting a 125 and 70 kitting it, derestricted cdi and yasuni r exhaust, been told it will touch 65 MPH!

AMAZING bike, mine did 30,000 miles before it died, new engine, and lovely, comfortable, sturdy. heavy, which makes it drink petrol, but when your sailing along at 40 it doesn't matter. £5 to brim it, not bad at today's prices.

big storage under the seat.

good looking.

high seat, no scraping heals, like other bikes.

quite wide, so makes putting in the shed awkward, but its too get to get stolen, and people would want to steal it.

really quiet, so you dont draw attention to yourself.

GREAT BIKE, buy one if you can find one!

DONT BOTHER

Honestly Ive Had nothin But Trouble

first had to change both tyres as the split

then variator scored the bolt it spins on

then belt stretched itself so it made me lose speed

then CDI was derestricted but only let me do 40
