Good Points

Excellent build and reliability
Nice power level for a small bike
Easy to maintain - fun to ride
Good (low) center of gravity - easy for beginning riders to maneuver.


Bad Points

The shocks could be better quality - bumpy ride.
It could have disk front brakes, but on an 80cc bike, you really don't need to stop that quick anyway.
Can't think of anything else except that I am too big now to ride it as much!


General Comments

This was my first bike - bought my Honda XL80S-80 brand new from Honda back in mid 1980. My brother and I had matching 1980 XL80s's, and we rode them hard for 6 or 7 years. 2800 miles - all off road and the bikes were NEVER in the shop for anything. They started every time they were kicked over, they ran all day, and never gave us any hassle. They were great bikes - and still are (we both still have the bikes). Mine is under a mini-restoration so I can get it ready for my son, who will be ready to ride in a year or so. He will love the bike as much as I did.
