Your looking for the Honda NV50MSD Stream. Honda UK stoped importing this model back in 1987 !!! Though as you have noticed, it may still be available in Spain or France. Regards, Nigel ( X-Honda dealer )

When they were first sold, they were quite expensive, approx £1000, compared to a standard moped of about £6-700. Apart from this, they were never a Disaster!!! In fact many of my customers enjoyed using the so much, that at least two of them owned their's for over 14 years each? Not bad for "A Disaster"!!! The only problems we had with them, was with a few disabled customer's, who thought that because they had two wheels at the back and a faster engine than battery operated mobility cart's , they would be easier for them to use. Unfortunatly they were not, because they pivoted at the back and required a degree of balance, which unfortunatly many of these people did not have. We did have one customer that had a few problems, though !!!! the engine was the same as a standard Vision and this chap weighed about 20 stone !!! A combination that did not work very well on steep hill's !!! So unless you know otherwise, they were Never A Disaster !!!!

The only manual available for this bike is an Original Honda one, you could try your local dealer and see if he can order you one? Honda now offer a Photo-copy service, so if they still have their copy, they should still be able to supply it??? I have a look to see if I can find the part number, if I can, I'll post it here. Otherwise, the engine is the same as the Vision, so you could use a manual for this bike if you need to do any Engine Work (only!). Best of luck with your new bike, Regards, Nigel

Thanks but I managed to buy a genuine manual at the recent Stafford Classic Bike Show for £10. (I also got a manual for my Honda C100 for £3, new headlight for my CB92 Benly Honda £10 and kickstart shaft for my C100 £10) Great things autojumbles ! The local Honda dealer supplied a head , base & exhaust gaskets for £5

why have two wheels at the back? two tyres to replace instead of just one? it used normal tyres ie "U" shaped, guaranteed to wear out super fast, because only one part of the tyre is ever going to be in contact with the ground. if you hit a bump on a 2-wheeler you go straight up and down, with three you'd have a sideways force as well. why have three wheels (indicating staility) if you are going to put A BLOODY GREAT HINGE IN THE MIDDLE!!!!??? Sorry, but it sounds like a disaster to me... unless of course someone somewhere predicted a world shortage of side-stands, in which case it was just a case of listening to the wrong [Log in to view email]

My bikes include a Honda C100, CB92 Benly, CX500c Shadow, Yamaha Carat, MZ TS 250 Supra 5 and Honda NV50MSD Stream (three wheeler). Cars include Piaggio Vespacar, Berkeley T60, Austin A35, SII Land Rover etc so I am not in the "main stream" of vehicle buying either bikes or cars. I think it's a case of every body to their own - I cann't see the point of race replica's myself !

moped (3 wheeler) from I guess the mid eighties. Is it a valuable rarity or just a very old moped? If it's valuable where would I sell it? Thanks in advance for any advice.

there are small scooters and mopeds such as you are describing . Probably you saw the Honda Stream or Honda Gyro. But, their predecessors were the Ariel 3 and the Daihatsu Hello ( Hallo ). I research three-wheeled vehicles which lean through turns. These could be best used for a fully bodied motorcycle-like vehicle since one would not need their feet to balance to stop, etc. A friend of mine used information I'd gathered to make a website : http://www.maxmatic.com/ttw_index.htm However, since he made the site, many European companies have been showing prototypes : Aprilia, Italjet, Piaggio, Peugeot, Renault, Derbi and others. None of the new prototypes is fully bodied ( except the Mercedes and Vandenbrink Carver )for all weather riding. If someone would build one with a slippery aero body such as the General Motors Lean Machine from 1983, it would be possible to get incredible fuel mileage ( 150 mpg with a conventional gas engine ) with sporty acceleration as well as great fun on a curvey road. But, back to the Ariel and Honda. Here are some links : Ariel 3 Development History Back to Back Ariel 3 Proper Attire [ me asking the question ] Daihatsu Hello Honda Gyro enthusiast in Japan Going Fast !
