A
Suzuki Street Magic on the streets of Wellington. Having
written about the Street Magic in Monkey Business, it was
interesting to see this example which is much more like the
Japanese home market specification than the Magics in the
UK.
One of three machines in a garage in
Hokitika. Sorry about the glare but this was on a Sunday
and the garage was shut, so we had to be content with taking
pictures through the window.
The sales card reads: "Honda Little Cub 50cc Stepthru,
3250ks Ride on a car license, Even a learners license
No warrant of fitness required Good for work, good
for the farm, good for school, Just good. Registered
and ready to go $3595.00".
"Yamaha YB50 50cc, CDI Injection 4 Speed with a
clutch $2800.00 Ride on a car
license No warrant of fitness Just imagine the uses
for this bike, be the star at moped rallies. On road costs
not included".
Like the Honda Cub, this YB50 has a single seat
with a rear rack, a common arrangement on machines in New
Zealand.
"Honda Super Cub 50cc 4 Speed
step thru Heated Grips and extra light for dark nights
plus basket. 3570ks Ride on a car
license No warrant of fitness For school, farm, work,
shopping, you choose. $3050.00 Plus on

Like the other two, this is in a single seat plus rear rack
style.
A Gorilla on the streets of
Queenstown.
And that's all ... until we go to World's End.
