The P50 was the last bike produced by Honda to have a wheel-mounted engine.

Using a neat 1.2bhp 4-stroke engine instead of the more common and simpler 2-stroke units normally seen in wheel-mounted engines, it even had an over-head cam which no doubt made it rather expensive to make. Introduced in June 1966 it was bulletproof and beautifully made.

Thought to date from around 1966, this example requires restoration and is offered here with no paperwork.
