The Honda P50 (known as the P25 in some markets) was introduced in June 1966. It was the last motor-wheel moped design by Honda (and probably by any other large manufacturer). The P50 features a step-through frame made from steel pressings, leading-link front suspension, plastic fenders and chainguard.
The Honda PC50 is a moped produced by the Honda Motor Company in Japan from May 1969 until at least 1983. The PC50, though much smaller and lighter, had some similar features to Honda's popular C50 /70 /90 Super Cub line, with a step-through pressed-steel frame, a fuel tank under the saddle, a chain cover, and optionally equipped with leg shields,
Honda made 2 models of the PA50; the PA50II, which could reach speeds of 30 mph (45 km/h), and the PA50I, which could only reach speeds of 20 mph (32 km/h). The easiest way to identify a PA50I model is by its red and white (1978) or all red and black (1979) paint job and sticker saying it is a PA50I/PA50M (this does not apply to all bikes though).
A Suzuki GSX-R1000 at a drag strip – a 2006 model once recorded a 0 to 60 mph time of 2.35 seconds. This is a list of street legal production motorcycles ranked by acceleration from a standing start, limited to 0 to 60 mph times of under 3.5 seconds, and 1 ⁄ 4-mile times of under 12 seconds.
It is street-legal in the US. Cars were exported to other countries, [10] sometimes being classified as a moped (e.g. the P50 that went to Finland). [11] In the Netherlands there are two original Peel Tridents registered as tricycles, but the Trident replica with the 50cc engine and 59 km/h (37 mph) top speed was registered as a moped. In ...
[3] [4] Italian magazine Motociclismo claimed to have achieved 193.24 mph (310.99 km/h) testing the F4 R 312, more or less confirming the claimed speed and tying, if not exceeding, the 1999 Suzuki Hayabusa's tested speeds of 188–194 mph (303–312 km/h), [5] whereas Sport Rider were only able to achieve a 185.4 mph (298.4 km/h) top speed ...
Like the P50, it uses a 49 cc (3.0 cu in) DKW engine which generates 4.2 hp (3.1 kW), and a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h). It was advertised that the Trident got 100 miles per imperial gallon (2.8 L/100 km; 83 mpg ‑US), "almost cheaper than walking". The original retail price was £190.
Typically they are incapable of speeds above 52 km/h (32 mph); however, in recent years larger motors have been built, allowing bikes to reach speeds of upwards of 113 km/h (70 mph). Powered by a variety of engine types and designs, the motorized bicycle formed the prototype for what would later become the motor driven cycle.
