For Sale: 1970 Honda SS50E in Classic Red – Completely Original
This 1970 Honda SS50E, purchased from Bonhams auction in 2007, is a rare and completely original example of Honda’s legendary 49cc classic. It has recently undergone engine rebuild and carburetor overhaul, ensuring it runs smoothly and reliably while maintaining its full originality.
The SS50E features a 49cc four-stroke, air-cooled, OHC single-cylinder engine, producing around 5. 1 PS (3. 7 kW) at 9, 960 rpm. Its 5-speed manual gearbox and lightweight frame provide an enjoyable and agile ride, making it both a collector’s dream and a fantastic little runner.
These bikes are becoming increasingly scarce, especially in fully original condition. This one has been meticulously maintained, retaining its classic red paintwork, original components, and period-correct details.
A true collector’s item, this SS50E is a rare chance to own an unmodified, original example of one of Honda’s most iconic small motorcycles.
