Hunter, campers, farmers beat those little bikes to death and they just kept on running. One of tbe main reasons Honda has the reputation for reliability it does.
You are right! I have 1962 version 50cc (C 55) with the dual rear sprocket (high and low range) that my father in law and I are putting back together. Knobby tires and a high swept exhaust, I am hoping that will be my ride around Barber Vintage this year.

I bought it from a friend's brother who bought it new, sold it to another friend, and just recently bought it back. Also had one of the chrome-framed ones back in the '80s.
I remember reading in Cycle magazine about a guy who rode his trail 90 across the country. I'll have to dig it up.

I think I need to talk with you! I went back and looked, mine has the flat low pipe also... we always wondered if it was a later replacement since all the pics we saw had the high pipe! Thanks for the clarification!!!
