Re: Yellow Helix on a road trip in Canada.
Me too. I've been longing for one since I first saw them. There is a guy in Italy named Alessandro Bolognesi (Italian article) who restores them for owners. You can bring your old Helix and get it back like showroom new.
Then I think about the PCX, compare them in my head, and decide that the no-mess fuel injection, half the cc, twice the mileage, 70% of the horsepower (95% in PCX 160), and quarter of the maintenance is more for me. Even the ghost of that Helix dash is in the latest PCX.
These classics need somewhere nice place to store them, nicer than I have at the moment. The Helix looks and rear luggage compartment is nice and unique though.
