Honda MT50

The Honda MT50, more commonly known as the MT5, is an off-road styled moped that was common in Scandinavia and the Netherlands but was also sold in other countries including the United Kingdom and United States. Some countries had restricted versions designed for learners, and production for European markets was mainly carried out in Belgium, Spain and Sweden. Its leading competitor was the Yamaha DT50MX. Production started in 1979 and ended in 2000. It stopped being imported in 1983 to be replaced by the Honda MTX50, but was reintroduced in 1990, or 1985 in the UK, with a changed specification and further regular updates over the next few years, so not all parts are interchangeable. Its sister was the road-styled MB50 or MB5. The MT5 is now one of the older classic mopeds, along with the Suzuki TS50X and the old Yamaha DT50.
