Description
Fresh in from Japan we have this stunning Honda NC50 Express. This 1976 example starts, runs and rides as well as it looks and is in an all original condition. The Express did not come with an odometer so mileage is not recorded but judging by the condition and wear we estimate around it to be very low with little use. Original mirror and handlebar grips. This is the Japanese version which is called "RoadPal". We have replaced the graphics with "Express" items to help identify the model. A great addition to your camper and a must for 70's moped collectors.
The Honda NC50 Express is a charming little slice of late-1970s ingenuity—designed to be simple, efficient, and approachable for a generation newly interested in mopeds after the 1973 oil crisis. Here's a deep dive into its history and specs:

We always endeavour to ensure that all mileages are correct as advertised and will state this where possible. With imported vehicles we are not always able to confirm this by contacting previous owners therefore we are unable to completely verify the mileage recorded on the odometer and it must be considered incorrect in these cases.
Delivery possible to all locations, UK and Worldwide.
