General Comments

I owned one of these Honda XL80S-80 offroad bikes for about a year, and it was awesome to ride. I have had up to three people on it at once, and I've pulled a bicycle with a passenger on it and a go-cart with it, which is pretty good for a dirtbike. I've rode it in the snow, in mud, in rain, through rivers and basically everything. The only bad thing about it is that it's old. It has carburetor problems, floods easy and the gas leaks if its not turned off. The spark plug also fouls easy if you don't run it on high octane gas. This bike doesn't have a key for ignition like newer models, but it has a key to lock the back tire and the steering. I've actually had many complications with this motorcycle though and it's been in the shop numerous times. However, I've had many enjoyable times with it.
