    The quality of this production flabbergasts me. I had to go back a few times and do a double take. Well done!
    Here because I just found an Aero 50 on marketplace for $150, definitely going to pursue it now!

    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.

      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.

    Honda Scooters, I get it. :-)
    I'm 61, and recently bought a 86 Honda Spree, and now own a 84 also. I've had a blast tinkering on these things. I've had both of them apart, and completely gone through them. New seat covers, tires, black wheels. So much fun. Top speed on the 87 is 30mph, and the 84 is 25mph. I got my eyes peeled for an Aero next. :-) Great video by the way....Keep them coming !!!!!!

    • @RetraCast
      @RetraCast  Місяць тому +1

      Thanks and good luck looking for an Aero. They’re a bit harder to come by but they’re worth it. A few 50cc Elites have similar engines to the Aero too.
      I don’t plan on buying a Spree (cuz I have too many bikes as is) but I’d like to hopefully borrow one for a month to do a video on it.
      My newest video has all my bikes in it too, may wanna check it out.

    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  3 місяці тому +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.

    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  3 місяці тому

      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.

    • @RetraCast
      @RetraCast  3 місяці тому

      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, UA-cam 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.

    • @RetraCast
      @RetraCast  15 днів тому

      Depends on your area but maybe a bit high. Though they are pretty rare so tbh I’d go for it if it has the title, runs right, and you’re genuinely interested.
      Mine was $1100 with 3500 miles and had some light but tasteful mods like the exhaust. But one panel had some pretty heavy scuffs that were covered with the black vinyl you see on mine. Only real issue with it.
      I think $1000-1200 is about right on average imo.

Just wanted to get your opinion on this, feels good to finally get a chance to get my hands on one.
