The Honda MB50 was produced in 1980 that was a cross between a motorscooter and a sport bike. It was not intended to be a fast bike since it had only a 50 cc two-stroke single-cylinder engine; but it did have several features normally found on bigger bikes: a speedometer, a tachometer (with a redline of 10,500 rpm), front disc brake, and Honda's Comstar wheels.
The saddle provided space for a passenger, but the bike would have difficulty carrying more than one rider.
The MB-5 was only produced for 1982 in the U.S., but was more popular in Europe(1979-1981).
