The P50 is certainly one of the quirkier classic mopeds, partly in thanks to how it houses the majority of the driveline components within the rear wheel hub.
What also helps set the P50 apart is Honda’s desire to pursue 4-stroke as opposed to 2-stroke, as was more commonly preferred by its rivals.
Due to the sheer age of these vehicles, there aren't many P50s available on today's market, let alone near-pristine examples such as this one. This moped has been extensively restored in the past and has since been treasured as part of a collection.
If you’re looking for a superb historical showpiece, or a quirky bike to pop to the shops on, this P50 won’t disappoint.
Rather remarkable for the age of the vehicle, this P50 has just 9 former keepers noted on the V5.
As these mopeds don’t actually feature an odometer, it is hard to estimate just how many miles have been covered over the years, but the number is rather moot anyway, given the restoration.
As the photos reflect, the restoration has clearly been carried out to the highest level, leaving nothing to be further desired.
Throughout its time with the current keeper, the vehicle has barely been used, instead being stored as part of a historic collection. That being said, the bike has certainly been cared for and kept in tip-top shape.
Should the new keeper wish to maintain the vehicle themselves, a previous owner has carefully collated plenty of useful information in the included notebook. Details such as part numbers, advice for certain tasks, and diagrams provide all the information you would need to maintain such a moped.
As this P50 benefits from a thorough restoration, courtesy of a previous owner, the exterior condition is absolutely fantastic.
Having covered very few miles since being restored, this Honda’s exterior is near-perfect, and can hardly be faulted. All trim pieces and detailing follow suit, showing hardly any signs of use.
Although this bike is fully functional, there is no doubt that it would make a superb showpiece in a historical collection, due to its near-concourse finish.
By modern standards, the P50 is hardly a good candidate for the daily commute, but will gladly tootle along at low speeds, making it the perfect means of transportation for local journeys.
Although hardly a complex bit of kit, buyers will be pleased to know that this P50 performs exactly as intended, without a single known fault. Throughout the current keeper’s time with the vehicle, the tiny carb has received some love in the form of an adjustment and now performs brilliantly. 7aXN6mgcThTmQVNhUKhylo4w2W8OJRoIV6mELEbr.jpeg154.51 KB
Summary
This little Honda presents a superb opportunity to own a rare, restored example of the iconic 60’s moped.
With a freshly resprayed exterior, plenty of new components, and a history of caring owners, there is very little you could further ask of this stunning P50.
