OOPs a double post,,,,,my bad I've been going Jackie Chan on the Post button!

 

I lived in Asia for a few years in the early 70's. Unbelievable the things I've seen piled on, and strapped to Honda Supercubs.

 

You are RIGHT!!! They sold 60 million of those.

 

You are RIGHT!!!! I read on the internet that it was 60 million units.
They also used the same engine in the trail 50,70,90
It had push rods.

 

Yes... You are right Jethro911.

 

My friend had one and didnt want to sell it to me.

Looks pretty ghetto...but they last forever and ever....

They call it a papakia or something of that sort in greece.

Must have been Honda's bread and butter in the early days.

 

Believe it or not but that is when I got my first job as a Honda dealer mechanic.
The thing HONDA was trying to do was change the image of motorcyclists so more people would ride motorcycles.
The Honda 50 was oriented towards students. The slogan was.... "You meet the nicest people on a Honda."
