It makes no sense. None. Zero.
Surely someone's having a laugh.
A tiny fold-able Honda motorcycle, designed to fit in the boot of a small hatchback - a little early-80s Honda commuter dream-team -
purpose-made for the busy streets of Japan; in Australia, when new, registered to
a state in central Australia that happens to have a population density not too dissimilar to the moon?
It's the minibike from
Dumb and Dumber meets the landscape of
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
I touched on these
in a post back in 2015, but again, briefly: What we're looking at is a Honda NCZ50 Motocompo. One of 50,000+ Honda pumped out between '81 and '83 to fit
into the back of the then-new City hatchback.
This one is yellow.
..and has a matching open-face helmet that's just a
little bit adorable.
49cc, 2.5hp, 50km/h flat-out-with-a-tail-wind, and some of the only unrestricted highway in the world. Stick to the left!
The only thing not to like is that I
still haven't got one!
Done. Adorable..
