ink my old man has one of these.
He put a small sidecar on it to carry his golf clubs.
I'm sure he put a 90cc postie motor in it.

77. Saw a early blue monkey at Goulburn Swap Meet just recently. It went past on a truck load of bits for sale in the predawn darkness. By the time I had reached the site where the fella with the truck was setting up, he had sold the bike plus a 74 little Honda trike. ... For $40 each!! He was just doing a farm shed clean up and was about to retire. 'the kids have grown up, and there's no one left to ride them'. It was near complete with good guards and tank, covered in dust.
I did one up for a mates kids a few years ago and was surprised at the go the little thing had. Being an old postie bike racer and tourer, I shouldn't be surprised at what those little Honda slopers can do.

We called those Mini bikes, when I was young (8) the neighbour used to ride one around his backyard in West Ryde, it used to drive my parents mad lol....I just watched with Envy...

Honda had them out new again a couple of years ago. Don't know if they are still building them.

[playwme]

Yeah, they did a limited edition run, They were about $4grand though.

I've got a Clymer workshop manual here somewhere for the Honda 50's? Was going to chuck it up on ebay eventually , let me know if you're interested.
