1967 honda p50
the honda p50 (known as the p25 in some markets) was introduced in june 1966. it earns a place in history as being the last motor-wheel moped design by honda (and probably by any other large manufacturer). it features a step-through frame made from steel pressings, leading-link front suspension, plastic mudguard and chainguard. the fuel tank is located above the rear mudguard. the key distinguishing feature of the design is the 50cc engine being located at the extreme lower left rear of the frame, with all its components housed within the large hub of the rear wheel. like other honda mopeds of the time, the engine is a 4-stroke.

apart from the chinese flying pigeon (a cycle-attachment knock-off of the cyclemaster engine) the p50 was the last cyclemaster-styled machine to be produced, and it is always interesting to see a japanese version of any british machine - because it invariably works a lot better than the original. this being a 4-stroke, it is certainly the case here. image provided courtesey of www.buyvintage.co.uk.
