    I frequently post updates on my story.
    A review of my 1985 Honda Aero 50 scooter / moped. This little 50cc 2 stroke Japanese bike is pure, simple, and retro fun to zip around town on. This video discusses its style, engine, and riding experience.
    This vintage scooter is also related to the same era Honda Spree, Elite, Tact, Dio, and Vision.
    I would like to do a follow up talking about the related Honda Tact and Gentsuki / Bosozoku style often associated with this particular scooter.

      Realistically it’s more like 2 years. But the next video should be out a bit quicker this time.

      No but I will have an MR2 related video up in a couple months. It’s more about MR2s in general than specifically mine, but I think it’ll be really interesting.

    Nice to see that you are back. I love more or less all 80's vehicles.
    I got myself a few weeks ago a Honda Accord Aerodeck from 89 and since 2 Years i have a Honda NH125, very similar to your 50.

    • @RetraCast
      @RetraCast  9 дней назад +1

      I didn’t even realize they made a 125cc of that bike. I’ve seen the 80 a few times but not that one. I am curious how the larger 2 stroke Honda scooters ride since I’m pretty impressed with this 50cc as is.

    Dude hit it right out of the park about modern scooter design, manafacturers NEED to realize they could make scooters that rides modern but still have that retro-ish flair, from where I live most scooters end up looking pretty much the same and it gets boring real quick.
    I'm calling it. It is time for them to make COOL scooters again.

    • @RetraCast
      @RetraCast  7 дней назад +1

      We do have some retro like scooters, but mostly just Vespas. I think manufacturers are just too afraid the average person doesn’t want something that can be considered “cute” so instead try to make them look like aggressive sports bikes. I like motorcycles but when a scooter goes for a similar vibe, I just personally find it weird. I’d rather they embrace the cleaner classic and traditional scooter look.

    I know small creators doing this out of a love of craft hate to hear this, but... think about a Patreon or something. Even if you're not aiming to do this full time (hopefully someday you will), you raised a good point that this level of production isn't cheap. Gear, transportation, software licenses, cases of High Life... it all adds up. Set it up as "per creation" instead of "per month" so you don't feel any added pressure to rush videos out. A bunch of us would gladly kick in a couple of bucks per video toward making this at least a break-even venture for you: Those of us who vibe with your channel vibe HARD with it.

    • @RetraCast
      @RetraCast  6 дней назад

      I really appreciate you recognizing all that. And tbh I actually did have a patreon when I was previously making videos regularly. It definitely helped. But I closed it when I went on break. I will consider opening it or something similar back up after I can get a regular schedule in, I simply didn’t feel it was right to bring it out again on my first video back in two years.

      Thanks it’s something I could use in a lot of future videos for cool effect. Right now I can only get it to really work on more simple shots though, I need to think a bit more on how to get it looking right on shots that involve more camera movement or complex driving like while turning.

    • @RetraCast
      @RetraCast  9 дней назад

      Big thanks. Tbh the biggest hold up on this video was the writing/planning and the music. I really really spent a lot of time trying to trim it down to be as short as possible but still have all the info I wanted. Plus tryna find a way to tell it in an interesting way. I want my videos to be short around 5-6 mins but be densely packed with style. Music took a while just cuz it’s not my strong suit, but after I get a few new songs I can reuse them.
      It’s funny tho, after I uploaded, RUclips reminded me I can’t get any mid roll ad revenue cuz my video is too short (under 8 mins) lol. Oh well, I didn’t make much anyways.

      No idea just turned off at a red light. Has spark, gets fuel but doesnt want to start.

    • @RetraCast
      @RetraCast  7 дней назад

      Likely just dirty carb from my guess. Pretty common, especially if it sat for a while at some point or had old gas. Would just need an easy clean.
