Description

Up for sale is a vintage 1974 Honda MR50.  Our family is the second owner and I enjoyed this bike IMMENSLY as a kid, this was my second motorcycle after graduating from a Honda Z50R.  After graduating to an MB5, it was decided to "restore" the MR50, this was completed (by my father and I) in the mid 80s and the bike has been on display in the house ever since.  When time came to restore, we purchased a huge amount of OEM Honda MR50 parts, I have the American Honda Parts Division bin labels to verify what was purchased, I say "restore" as this bike has many unobtanium NOS parts, this bike is close to new as it gets!  All paint was re-done at the time.  A partial list of NOS items purchased are:
Grips
Brake/Clutch lever
Brake and clutch cable
Kill switch assembly
Front number plate, front number plate band
Kick start lever, kick start rubber
Gearshift lever
Side number plate
Axle nuts
Dynamo cover
Oil seals for engine, miscellaneous gaskets
Air filter cover, air filter
Gas tank, gas tank cap
Seat
Front and rear fenders
Tires/Tubes
Spokes
Tool set
Other miscellaneous items, hardware, etc
Also included in the sale are a MR50 Owner's Manual, MR50 Microfiche, aforementioned tool set.  I took the MR50 to my mechanic this week for a check over, he could not believe the condition of this MR50!  Everything works as it should, no issues with the bike.  Only selling as I am thinning the herd, this bike has been a good friend, many fond memories!  See pictures for condition, questions welcomed.  Other items to note the fenders have small minute scratches, this was how they were received NOS, the front fender has a crack as shown in the pictures(not sure how that happened) rear frame hoop has some light rash which was kept during restoration by my father to remind us of the wheelies performed almost to the point of no return(!), a few small scrapes on the front fork legs which were painted over.
Shipping/shipping arrangements are the sole responsibility of the purchaser, I will of course be available for collection.  Total mileage unknown, had to put something in the listing.  No title, sold on bill of sale, no warranties expressed or implied.  PLEASE NO TIME WASTERS, CONUS buyers and shipping only.  Will only sell via eBay listing.
