Honda Stream

ahhh basically like a 3 wheeled vision then right?

plenty of potential there

anyone remember the ariel3 ?? basically very very similar to this............strange they were laughed at when a brit bike maker made them yet honda has a success with them.

that will be cool tidied up, and with the back covers back on, does look a bit invalid vehicle-ish without it ha ha ha. very handy little thing and probbaly pretty stable

I strangely like this !

cool another one

there is an ariel 3 on ebay too.


well today I have been tuning it, and seems to run good..... apart from now the fuel wont flow to the carb, ive blown out all the pipes, but the fuel just wont flow!!! grrrr, looks like i'll have to take the tank off and clean the filter out again.

ive allready had somone off the street begging me to sell it to them!! proper random, I guess he must collect mopeds or somthing, as he was basically saying name a price! lol. but I said I wont sell, as my girlfriend will kill me, lol.

My mum had an Ariel 3. Dad never got it going though.
Used to try pedaling it up the road. Was a heavy old thing to pedal.
Dad sold it.

Mum also had a Pashley Picador trike. I would ride about on that. Once while riding in front of the house, I had to go up on 2 wheels to get past my brothers Mk1 Escort and a car coming up the road. Quite easy to get one rear wheel off the road. Near impossible to get the front one airbourne. Also it had a sort of parking brake on the left lever. Always worried that it would click on while using the brake. But then again. The drum and centrepull front brakes werent upto much.

Hi Rob.

Don't normally look at this site much and am please to see you are happy with the Stream.
Told you that I thought it was just fuel problem and glad you seem to have confirmed that.
I haven't been to lock-up since but need to go tomorrow so will see if i can find the missing air filter.

;D Made me spit coffee out over my keyboard....

yeah its the first gyro that honda made, they still make them, and there are also ones with a roof, called the gyro canopy.


well yesterday me and my dad got the stream runnin sweet, and took it for a blast up and down the street (its a private road) which is on a hill, it goes well, and even goes up the hill really well, i'm 13 stone and my dad is 15, and the little moped had no problem at all! so my girlfriend who's weight i'm not allowed to put, lol, should be no problem for it.

I took the carb off to give it a clean, and notice that the inlet manifold restricts it loads, the hole in the mnifold it about 1/3 the side of the hole in the carb, and its a big step too, so opening it up and matching it to the carb should give some more power.

its a stange thing to ride, I cant really describe it, but it doesnt feel like a bike! its extremely stable, it can be riden at a slow walking pace very easily, which makes slow tight manouvers at slow speeds a piece of pee.

last night when my girlfriend got home, I let her have a blast on it, and she found it very easy to ride, she has never riden a motorbike before, only a schwimm stingray.

alltho we have a huge garage, here is it sat in out dining room. cos its her little mechanical baby, lol.






the pics wernt taken in 05, its just I havent set up the cam
