Honda’s road/trail styled MB/MT 50s arrived in 1979 and were sold in the UK as ‘Sixteener Specials’ suitable for 16-year-old learners. This meant that they were restricted to a maximum speed of – nominally – 30mph, whereas in foreign markets the MB-5 roadster was good for 60-plus. Mind you, removing the inlet tract restrictor swiftly restored the lost horsepower. Attractively styled and built to Honda’s traditionally high standard, the MB/MT (there was also an 80cc version) was unusual for a small-capacity two-stroke in employing a balancer shaft within the engine. Acquired by its late owner in July 2005, this Honda MTX is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. The machine is offered with Swansea V5C document. No reserve.

Buyers' Premium and Charges

Like the vast majority of auctioneers Bonhams charge what is known as a Buyer's Premium. Buyer's Premium on all Automobilia lots will adhere to Bonhams group policy:

25% up to £50,000 of hammer price,
20% from £50,001 to £1,000,000 of hammer price,
and 12% on the balance thereafter. This applies to each lot purchased and is subject to VAT.

For Motor Cars and Motorcycles a 15% Buyer's Premium is payable on the first £50,000 of the final Hammer Price of each Lot, and 12% on any amount by which the Hammer Price exceeds £50,000. VAT at the standard rate is payable on the Premium by all Buyers, unless otherwise stated.

Some lots may be subject to VAT on the Hammer Price. These lots will be clearly marked with the relevant symbol printed beside the lot number in the catalogue.
