I don't know popgun. it's in one of my reference books. 98 cc 2 stroke, 2 speed ( high and low) no emissions to worry about, not much of an exhaust.
Quick google search turned up this about the Honda Cub from 1959
The Honda 50's single-cylinder overhead-valve engine produced 4.5 hp, enough to propel the 143-pound bike to 43 mph. Humming like a well-oiled sewing machine, this $249 ride delivered more than 200 mpg. Fifty years after it arrived here, the Honda 50 is universally regarded as the two-wheeled Model T, with more than 60 million sales to its credit. It's still manufactured in fifteen countries on three continents.
I have to go to Drs appt but will try and find more for you when I get back. But Google 1949 Honda Dream D and you should find some info.
