Honda C110 GENERAL EXPORT (140115) information

C110-100001~
Perhaps Honda’s best and most charismatic 50cc sports bike was the first C110 ‘Sports Cub’ as it was know in Japan was introduced two years after the ‘Super Cub’ in 1960 . The power from it’s overhead valve ‘Iron Engine’ as enthusiastic collectors refer to this overhead valve push-rod design with iron cylinder head and barrel, was increased to 5bhp, and for a machine weighing only 66kg gave 50cc motorcycling a whole new appeal! For the first time, a 50cc roadster was able to top 50mph, and to put that into perspective, Honda’s Dream 50 special launched 37 years later in 1997, with four valves and double overhead cam, struggled to get to 40mph! Progress? We will let you decide!
