The Honda Chaly is a minibike that was produced by Honda between 1972 and 2000.
Like many Japanese cars and motorbikes, the Chaly's name is a neologism. It was officially released in Japan on July 18, 1972. Three versions were released the same year under the names 50-I CF, 50-II CF and 70 CF (the numbers determine the displacement 49 cm3 and 72 cm3). [1] In light of article R 311-1 of the French Highway Code of 30 April 2009, depending on whether it is equipped with a 50 cm3 or 70 cm3 engine, this two-wheeler is a moped or a light motorcycle. [2]
Initially sold with a platinum screw ignition, it inaugurates an electrical system equipped with a CDI with a more powerful 72 cm3 engine in 1981. [3]
Similar in design to the Honda Dax which saw the light of day in 1969, the Chaly is designed to be easy to drive by the whole family [4] and is in line with a series of small motorcycles produced by the Japanese manufacturer since the famous Honda Z100 produced in series from 1963. The Chaly, like the Dax, differs from this series of mini motorcycles by its one-piece enveloping frame, both bodywork and support for the various mechanical components.
The Chaly differs from its elder Dax by a V-shaped frame, guaranteeing better comfort for women and which gives it a more utilitarian use, particularly on the Asian market where it can also be equipped with a fixed basket. on its fork crown. [5] The Chaly and the Dax have in common a horizontal single-cylinder 4-stroke engine with two valves and an overhead camshaft, small ten-inch wheels, two drum brakes (the front operated by a handlebar handle, the rear by a pedal on the right foot, except for the first CF50I model reserved for the Japanese market), a compact and robust architecture as well as a semi-automatic three-speed gearbox. The gears are changed using a dual-branch selector lever on the left foot. The design of this semi-automatic motor does not require the manual use of a clutch handle, which makes its use simplified.
This small engine block, fitted with a 6 V electrical system, is appreciated more for its discretion, low fuel consumption, flexibility and strength than for its power. In 49 cm3, it develops 3.2 hp and delivers 4.2 hp in 72 cm3 (respectively for the Japanese market models CF50-II and CF70-II from 1979). [6]
The Chaly chip size brings it below the 75 kilogram mark. [6] Well suited to driving in an urban environment, it is highly sought after for its compactness which makes it easy to board a car, a motorhome or a boat.

Production of the Prelude concluded in 2001 upon the introduction of the fourth-generation Integra. The Prelude name was originally trademarked by Toyota, but was amicably given to Honda for use. The Prelude complied with the series of music-themed vehicle names which Honda used at the time, along with the Accord, Quintet, Concerto, Jazz, and Ballade.

The E-series was a line of inline four-cylinder automobile engines designed and built by Honda for use in their cars in the 1970s and 1980s.

It was sold at the Honda Japan dealership sales channel called Honda Clio.

The 250 cc (15 cu in) Honda C71 and C72 Dream, and the identical C76 and C77 bikes with 305 cc (18.6 cu in) displacement, were the first larger-capacity motorcycles that Honda mass-exported. They were characterised by a pressed steel frame and alloy overhead cam, twin-cylinder engine, and were very well equipped, with 12 volt electrics, electric starter, indicators, dual seats and other advanced features not common to most motorcycles of the period.
The first-generation Honda Civic is an automobile that was produced by Honda in Japan from July 1972 until 1979. It was their first genuine market success, eschewing the air-cooling and expensive engineering solutions of the slow-selling Honda 1300 and being larger than the minuscule N-series. The Civic laid down the direction Honda's automobile design has followed since.
The fifth-generation Honda Civic is an automobile produced by Honda from 1991 until 1995. It debuted in Japan on September 9, 1991. At its introduction, it won the Car of the Year Japan award for the second time.

The Civic Shuttle station wagon was not part of the fifth generation and was dropped for overseas markets, while the previous-generation wagon continued in Japan and Europe.
