This car is to be auctioned at The Autumn Stafford Sale - The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show
Successor to Honda's first 50cc two-stroke sports moped, the MB50, the MBX50 was produced in restricted 'Sixteener Special' form for the UK market where it was sold alongside the almost identical MBX80. Although many 17-year-olds would have seen the 125 class as the next step up from their Sixteener Special, the rationale behind the 80s was cheaper insurance. Honda's well equipped MBX80 certainly looked the part, boasting twin front disc brakes, 12-volt electrics, rising-rate rear suspension and Comstar wheels. The 79. 7cc engine produced 9. 6bhp, which was good enough to propel the lightweight (225lb) MBX80 to a top speed of around 65mph. This Honda MBX80 was bought by the vendor with the intention of using it, but with other projects on the go he has not been able to find the time. The machine is presented in good original condition and comes with a V5C document.
