1962 Honda 125cc C92 Benly Registration no. OFO 819 Frame no. 2501316 Engine no. C92E-2501377 Honda's first 125cc twins - the C90 tourer and CB90 sports - appeared in 1958 and were swiftly superseded by the C92 and CB92 respectively. Their arrival caused a sensation; not only did they have two cylinders in a class hitherto populated exclusively by singles, but the little gem of an overhead-camshaft engine revved to 10,000rpm and produced 11.5bhp in the C92, putting it on a par with some British 250s. Not only that, but the Benly also came with flashing indicators and an electric starter. Today these Honda twins are among the most collectible of early Japanese classics. Part of a recent barn-find discovery, this C92 Benly was first registered on 20th November 1962 and previously registered '651 PRL'. That registration was removed on 7th September 1995 and the Honda has not been taxed since then. Our private vendor acquired the machine on 10th January 2004. Currently displaying a total of 7,416 miles on the odometer, this motorcycle has clearly not been used for a considerable time and its mechanical condition is not known (the engine turns over). Offered for recommissioning and/or restoration and sold strictly as viewed, it comes with a V5C Registration Certificate and copy workshop manual. Offered with key Footnotes: All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
