1967 Honda P50 Moped
Registration no. RWF 792E
Frame no. P50-A181906
Engine no. P50E 180331

Producing a giddy 1.2bhp at 4,200rpm, the P50 was capable of a top speed of 25mph. In the UK, the Honda P50 and its ilk are supported by The National Autocycle and Cyclemotor Club.

Introduced in 1966, the P50 (also known as the P25) represented a complete break from the Super Cub concept, mounting its 49cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine within the rear wheel assembly, an idea first tried during the 'Veteran' period. Producing a giddy 1.2bhp at 4,200rpm, the P50 was capable of a top speed of 25mph. In the UK, the Honda P50 and its ilk are supported by The National Autocycle and Cyclemotor Club, which caters for enthusiasts of cyclemotors, autocycles, mopeds and small motorcycles.

This particular Honda P50 was purchased as a rolling chassis with a dismantled engine. The engine has since been completely rebuilt. Since the vendor purchased this motorcycle from the Bonhams Auction in 2022, they have registered it with the DVLA and sorted a few recommissioning issues out.
