The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The MT50 was sold in the UK as a moped allowing 16 year old riders to start motorcycling on a bike with the same controls as bigger machines they aspired to.

This MT50 Sports Moped has been part of a large and fascinating collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models, ranging from this Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas, he's decided to downsize his collection. The bike has survived in essentially standard trim, a rare thing for a sports moped, and I am sure will stir up happy memories of many riders first taste of motorcycling. Last run a couple of years ago it will require some recommissioning before use and comes supplied with an owners manual, a Haynes workshop manual, numerous old MOTs and current V5C.
