c.1966 Honda P50 Moped
Frame no. P50-A38781
Engine no. C22071

Having conquered the world during the early 1960s by producing millions of 'step-thru' mopeds based on it original C100 Super Cub of 1958, Honda went on to expand greatly its range of similarly utilitarian commuter machines. Introduced in 1966, the P50 (also known as the P25) represented a complete break from the Super Cub concept, mounting its single-cylinder four-stroke engine within the rear wheel assembly. BSA's 'Winged Wheel' was similar in layout and Honda itself had offered a 'clip-on' of this type (the F model Cub) back in 1952, though both of those had been two-strokes. This un-restored Honda P50 is offered with its original Italian Certificato per Ciclomotore (Cyclemotor Certificate).
