Vehicle Description
1970 Honda QA 50
Honda's revolutionary advertising slogan, "You meet the nicest
people on a Honda," shattered the myth that bikes were only for
tough guys and rebels. Single-handedly, Honda had made motorcycling
appealing to everyone. By 1965, Honda was selling well over a
quarter-million motorcycles annually. In 1968, Honda created a bike
for the baby boomer youth market, the Z 50. Although similar in
power to the Z50, the QA 50 was an excellent beginner's bike,
utilizing a two-speed automatic transmission. Honda made four
models of the QA50 over a four-year period. The fenders and fuel
tank were offered in three matching colors-gypsy yellow, sprout
green, and scarlet red. "From mighty to mini, Honda has it
all."
As Monte Python would say "And now for something completely
different". For consignment a beginner's bike if you will, in all
its scarlet red restored glory. Even throw in a '60's flower power
"QA 50" sticker, and you are all set to get your motor running. It
appears this original bike was stripped down, and totally restored.
All metal/plastic surfaces are very good, and engine kick starts on
the first try when you get the fuel and ignition turned on below
the tank!
Toe the shifter down one time and it immediately clicks into gear,
all it needs is a twist of the throttle and you're off! (Like a
prom dress...if you will!). Get her up to speed and toe down into
the second gear and you can cruise at low rpm with a quiet buzz of
the 49cc Single Cylinder OHV engine barely breaking a sweat. All
this was with my adult 235lb bulk sitting atop the showroom looking
wide seat and buzzing around the Classic Auto Mall Parking lot (AKA
the CAM Racetrack!).
A fab example of this bike, runs great, looks showroom new (even
down to the tire mold nipples). A totally fun ride for kids and
adults. I imagine myself in a beach community and riding this
around constantly, it would definitely be a hoot..." If the chain
don't break". Sold on a Bill of Sale only.
