c.1967 Honda P50 Moped Registration no. not registered Frame no. P50-A117715 Engine no. PC50E131563 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 machines. 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. 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. 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. Unfortunately nothing is known of this P50's history prior to its acquisition by the vendor over 30 years ago, since when it has been dry stored. Recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent will be required before the machine returns to the road and thus it is sold strictly as viewed. There is no registration document with this Lot.
