First of the true ‘Pocket rockets’ from Honda capable of 105kph in standard form. This liquid cooled 50cc two stroke was the prequel to the NSR50, in race form still produced today by HRC, the competition motorcycles department of Honda.
Weighing just 88kg it had acceleration to match, and with a stiff chassis and mono-shock rear suspension had the handling to that complimented that startling (for a mere 50cc) performance. And in those early 1990’s it was no surprise to see many of these ending up on the race track, which was really their natural element!
