A Suzuki Street
Magic on the streets of Wellington. Having written about the Street
Magic in Monkey Business, it was

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

4 Speed step thru Heated Grips and extra light for dark
nights plus basket. 3570ks Ride on a car

Like the other two, this is in a single seat plus rear rack style.
A Gorilla

And that's all … until we go to World's End.
