Honda C50 (1967)

Advantages: Cheap, small and friendly
Disadvantages: errrrrrr cheap, small and friendly!

...who saw it. 1967, Honda C50. Red / Cream. Runs, red / white, buyer to collect. Southend

Excellent, off we went. Put it in the back of the hire car we had as a replacement for the golf that the wife had just broke!

After an engine rebuilt and the replacing of a few of the genuine parts, my little old globetrotter was ready for the off.

Within the first week, I noticed that I was about £30 better off for ...
...way.

The Honda C50 allows you to choose your own route, either past the big houses or the parks, whichever you prefer. At your own speed as well. I like a 30 - 35mph on the quicker roads and a steady 20 – 25 in residential areas. The brakes are good providing you check for slack once a week. (Same as your old Chopper or Grifter for those who remember)

These bikes are cheap. I spend about £150 p/yr in services and ... more

the ultimate commuter

Advantages: cheap and reliable,can be run on dole money
Disadvantages: rust prone

These bikes are ace!Fuel consumption can be between 150 and 200mpg depending on model. The best one is the C50 economy(the square light model),but they are very rare.What they all have in common is a propensity to rust under the rear mudguard and the inside of the front forks. when looking over one of these bikes,check these areas very carefully.Paint can hide rust. It is a good idea to get the frame,forks etc powder coated on these bikes. Mechanically,these ...
...C50,but couldn't!! They will tug up hills at about 25mph,as they only make 3.5 bhp!This is why i now have a 1977 C90 Parts are cheap and readily available,new and second hand,and there are hundreds of them about for cheap.insurance costs pennies too. If you want cheap transport,get a C50! ...

The Legacy of the c50, c70 and c90

Advantages: Fuel Efficient, Same as c90.
Disadvantages: Slow, about 50 at a push

. The steering is superb, it handles like a dream (Actually, it handles like a superdream!) the fuel economy is excellent, they last forever and spares are plentiful and cheap. Actually, it's usually best to buy 2, 1 as your bike and 1 as a spares bike. This way, you can avoid having to shop around for parts. The 3 c models were introduced in the mid sixties, ad still have the vague styling. The colour options are red or blue, not alot of choice but you could always respray it. The seat is very comfortable, and the hadlebars are positioned just right for a comfortable ride. These bikes are 4 strokes, making them slightly harder to maintain than a 2 stroke, but they do use less oil. Overall, I would say the Honda c50, c70 and c90 is a good choice for a fun little bike. ...

Review of Honda - Honda C70

Jesus! Its Just So Damn Cheap!

Advantages: 120+mpg
Disadvantages: erm... there are none

Hello... Well let me start by telling you about my particular bike... It is a 1982 Honda C90ZZ. Light blue in colour, with a genuine 4800 miles on the clock. It runs superbly, and is completely rust free. Anyway... The Honda C90, C70 and C50 range was introduced in 1967? I think, and was instantly a hit... so much so some band released a song about the bike... (The Hondells - Little Honda) The colour available were 'elephant' grey, red and blue... although I think there were a few others available occasionally too. The thing with Honda 90's is that no-one cares what happens to them; they were designed as easy-maintenance, low fuel consumption commuters... and they serve their purpose to a high standard of service. The basic price for a Honda 90, 70 or 50 is.. well... if its an old rusty heap with no MOT, absolutely ...
