ok I'll chime in: I would recommend the CT90 or a CT110 as there many of them out there and you can get just about every single part for them. here is a good website to look over for CT parts and other small hondas as well: www.dratv.com . I currently have a 1970 and 1971 ct90. I bought the 71 for $500 off ebay and restored it and have put about 2500 miles on it. I also met someone who sold me a 70 ct90 localy for $100...I have yet to get that one ready to go. They are great little bikes with tough engines and simple suspension. They get about 80 - 90 mpg depending on rider size and characteristics. A healthy engine will get a big rider up to 40 -50 mph on the flats and small hills. there is a hi/lo range transmission that effectively doubles your gears. In low range top speed is 25 mph but the bike will practicaly climb a tree. Then if you want to go nuts you can get 4 valve heads, superchargers, race cams, etc etc. Also the 17" wheels roll over stuff nicely compared to some of the smaller scooter wheels. its a good bike, keep your eyes open and you will find one.
