Both scooters have similar horsepower ratings. For comparison, the Elite 125 only has 7 lbs/ft. I suspect the Aero 125 accelerates strongly and is able to hold its speed well up hills and into brisk winds because it’s got an impressive 9.0 lbs/ft of torque. That’s not really highway touring speeds but it’s enough to venture out of town on 55 mph back roads if you’re brave. However, the speedometer supposedly reads 10% high so Honda’s claim of 54 mph sounds about right. Honda lists the top speed of this scooter at 54 mph but most owners report they can hit 55-65mph. The 125cc Aero is the largest 2-stroke scooter Honda has ever sold in North America. A few neat ad and brochure scans showing the various versions of the Aero 125 can be seen here. Outside North America, this scooter was sold as the Lead 125 is quite a few countries from 1983 – 1987. These two scooters were sold side by side in 1984 and it the 4-stroke Elite was clearly more popular with buyers. Honda’s concurrent introduction and lavish promotion of the popular Elite 125 in ’84 also didn’t help the Aero 125’s chances. After 1984 this scooter was dropped, likely due to the same emissions regulations that coaxed Vespa out of North America in the early 80’s.

In North America, it was only offered for 1984 and even then it wasn’t sold in Canada or California.
