Description
Honda 80 cm³ (red)
Year: 1982
Mileage: 10,393 km (odometer reading)
Model: CY 80
Vehicle registration document:
MOT:
A small Honda with an instantly recognisable style
Compact, lightweight and full of character, it belongs to that family of small Japanese motorbikes whose charm lies as much in their simplicity as in their appearance.
With its compact size and typical early-1980s styling, the CY80 has become a real favourite today.
A philosophy based on simplicity
The CY80 was obviously not designed to match the performance of a large-capacity bike.
Its appeal, on the contrary, lies in a much simpler approach to motorcycling: a small, manoeuvrable machine that is accessible and easy to get to grips with.
It is precisely this simplicity that makes it so appealing today to enthusiasts of vintage small Hondas.
It represents an era when a motorbike could be both a practical means of transport and a genuine source of pleasure without requiring particularly powerful machinery.
A 1982 model
The motorbike on offer dates from 1982 and is clearly identified as a red Honda CY80.
It has 10,393 km on the odometer.
As with other vehicles whose mileage history is undocumented, this figure should be regarded as an odometer reading rather than a certified mileage.
No documentation is provided to verify the total distance travelled.
Condition described as ‘very good’
This is one of the interesting aspects of this particular example.
Its condition is described as ‘very good’.
A small-engined bike that has grown on people
Over time, the status of this type of machine has changed.
Long regarded as mere small utility or leisure bikes, these Japanese models from the 1970s and 1980s are beginning to attract genuine interest amongst enthusiasts.
Their compact size also makes them easy to incorporate into a collection.
Standing alongside much larger cars or motorbikes, a small Honda like this one adds a different, often more playful touch.
A motorbike that relies more on charm than on power
It does not seek to impress with its performance.
Its appeal lies more in its aesthetics, its compact size and its quintessentially Japanese 1980s character.
It can therefore appeal to both vintage motorbike enthusiasts and collectors looking for an original and relatively space-saving two-wheeler.

Some information that would further enhance the listing
This would help clarify whether its excellent condition is the result of particularly careful maintenance or a more recent restoration.
For a small vintage motorbike, this sort of information can make a real difference to the presentation.
Key points
This red 1982 Honda CY80 is a charming little motorbike in this sale.
It has 10,393 km on the odometer and its condition is described as ‘very good’.
Details regarding its registration document and roadworthiness test still need to be provided.
With its compact size and typical 1980s styling, it offers, above all, a simple and appealing proposition: a small vintage Honda full of character, which is easy to picture both as part of a collection and on leisure rides.
