During the 1970s and 1980s it seemed that Honda simply could not make up its mind about what constituted the definitive moped, the result being a plethora of different models all powered by 50cc two-stroke engines: Caren, Melody, PC50, Camino, and Express to name but five. Featuring automatic (clutch-less) transmission and pumped lubrication, the Express was introduced in 1977 and manufactured until 1984.
Particularity of the NC50 was that it did not have any pedal - which technically made it a 50cc Motorcycle.
The bike seems to be in great original condition, showing just 972km (603 miles) and having been stored for most of its life. It will therefore need recommissioning before allowing the buyer to cruise around safely with it.
