Similar to the Z50, the QA50 had fatter tires and was much more rare. Produced for just 5 years, the QA50 went through 4 generations in 6 years. It featured a 49cc single cylinder engine, 2-speed transmission, and not much else. This is one of the second generation bikes, known as the K1. The differences from the K0 generation were simple – stationary handlebars instead of swivel-locked ones, and different cosmetics, including chrome trim around the tank and a stripe on the fender to match the tank color.

This highly original example is in Candy Ruby Red. It even has the original Nitto tires. The seller says it runs great and starts right up. The only flaws are a peeling back fender decal and eroding foot peg rubber, but it still looks to be in great shape. Find this Honda QA50 for sale here on Craigslist in Midvale, Utah for $1,500.
