Honda Express

Honda made the Express, or NC50, a scooter, between 1977 and 1983, based on the NC50 Road Pal that Honda introduced in Japan in January 1976. Variants include the Express (NC50), Express II (NA50), Express SR (NX50) and Urban Express (NU50), all powered by an air-cooled 49 cc two-stroke engine. It was designed to enter the large market for scooters that developed after the 1973 oil crisis, with a fully automatic transmission and an oil pump that eliminated the need to premix oil and fuel.
