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, with an air-cooled engine producing 2. 5bhp and five speeds in the gearbox, and was the first '50' to incorporate an engine balancer shaft. (Unrestricted models were water-cooled and produced 7. 2bhp). Nothing is known about the history of this 'barn find' MBX50, which appears not to have been used for some considerable time. The odometer reading is 7, 737 miles and there are no documents with this Lot, which is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed.
Offered with key
£300-500
To be sold without reserve
