The Juno M80 and M85 were a different approach, introduced in November 1961. Unlike the K-series there is no upper windscreen, the engine is an exposed horizontal twin rather than an enclosed fan-cooled unit, and the body construction is conventional monocoque steel rather than FRP panels over tube. They also brought in a clutchless transmission of the Badalini type, hydraulic and mechanical, which formed the basis of the later Hondamatic motorcycle transmissions. Honda discontinued the Juno by the end of the year, with only 5,880 produced. Each model year has its own page.
