Features
As a special feature was advertised that "... it does not need a fuel-oil mixture, but regular gasoline. This keeps the engines clean right up to the exhaust. Typical of the 4-stroke technology are the rich, round run and the low gas consumption. And what's going on, lasts long These mokicks have the great technology of Honda."
Especially for the German market with its then road traffic licensing order (StVZO), the engine with a speed limiter was provided, which together with populated spark plug, the preset ignition timing, the carburetor and the translation of everything delivered Standard allowed only a maximum speed of around 40 km/h. From the motorcycle area adopted detail solutions such as tubular frame, tank, seat, side cover and Helmbefestigungsmöglichkeit and the four-stroke engine with cylinder, overhead camshaft and right manual gearbox with wet clutch made her a miniature motorcycle , The designer's ""Naughty Dax"" as the CY 50 in the Honda advertisement was called had developed for this model various, also in the production adopted improvements, which in the products of the competition in addition to the above-described four-stroke technology at that time still missing. For example, the five-fold adjustable rear struts to adjust the spring preload to the payload, a trip meter in speedometer and a six-liter tank, which allowed a range of about 200 kilometers.
Rear and front luggage carriers themselves allowed a versatile labor input, for example, in the transport of various hobby equipments. Unscrewable front and rear wheel rims allow comprehensive care, immediate hose repair and a light coat change in trouble-free self-assembly.
Vulnerabilities
A weak point of the model are the factory-rigid mounting tubes of the front and rear turn signals, which is why it already comes in light falls to significant damage, especially on the front indicators and their suspension (see picture).
The valve seats with valve rings manufactured at that time and the installed valves require that the engine be lead predominantly or at least occasionally with tetraethyl lead which is no longer available at service stations normal and premium gasoline is driven. [1] A declaration by the manufacturer authorized statement that prolonged operation without lead added in the fuel will definitely damage the engine concerned sooner or later is not known. However, from a list posted by Honda on the Internet, it can be seen that the CY50 can also be run on regular unleaded gasoline.
The design-related performance of generator (flywheel generator) with six-volt electrics was not designed to ensure that this Mokick is always driven with switched on lighting in the Federal Republic of Germany, as required by later amendments to StVO. Therefore, with this alternator under this driving mode, especially in the case of predominantly short-distance traffic, the optimum charging of the standard accumulators (on-board battery 6 V, 4 Ah) while driving no longer guaranteed, which may lead after some time with each 21-watt bulbs (6 V) operated turn signals lose their function.
The standard delivery tank cover, which was standard at least in Germany, could not be locked. In addition, heard as a signal generator in this country only a bicycle bell to the basic equipment.

The design included innovative features and technologies that were uncommon or unused at the time such as liquid cooling, electric-only starting, low-maintenance shaft drive, modular wheels, and dual CV-type carburetors that were tuned for reduced emissions. The electronic ignition system was separate from the rest of the electrical system, but the motorcycle could only be started via the start button.
The Honda VFR800 (Interceptor) is a sport touring motorcycle made by Honda since 1998. The model was the successor to the VFR750F and shares the V4 engine configuration with the Honda VF and VFR series.

The Killinger and Freund Motorcycle was an attempt in 1935 by a group of five German engineers from Munich to design a more streamlined and modified version of the German Megola front-wheel drive motorcycle. The work took three years to complete but the result was impressive. The engine displacement stayed the same as the Megola at 600 cc but was much lighter and more simplified than a standard 100 cc motorcycle of the time.
The Honda NR was a V-four motorcycle series started by Honda in 1979 with the 500cc NR500 Grand Prix racer that used oval pistons. This was followed during the 1980s by a 750cc endurance racer version known as the NR750. The oval piston concept allowed for eight valves per cylinder which generated more power due to the increased air/fuel mixture throughput and compression. In 1992 Honda produced around 300 street versions of a 750cc model, the NR, with a 90-degree V angle. Whereas the NR500 had used an oval piston with straight sides, the road going NR750 used an elliptical piston with curved long sides. The bike became the most expensive production bike at the time when it was selling for $50,000 and with the rarity, nowadays they rarely change hands.

In 1952, the predecessors to the Sportster, the Model K Sport and Sport Solo motorcycles, were introduced. These models K, KK, KH, and KHK of 1952 to 1956 had a sidevalve engine, whereas the later XL Sportster models use an overhead valve engine.
