Pichler Fairing – 1982 Honda MB5

In Japan, Less than 5k, Small Displacement by AbhiLeave a Comment

I’ve featured a few bikes with Pichler fairings in the past, but they’ve generally been large-displacement BMWs. Today I learned that Pichler also made a full fairing for something much smaller – a Honda MB5!

The MB5 was very interesting – an incredibly light motorcycle that was styled like a tiny sport bike, had 5 speeds, and a tiny 49cc two-stroke engine that produced nearly 7 horsepower. MSRP was $798, and it included features that were reminiscent of much bigger bikes of the time, like a front disc brake, Honda’s Comstar wheels, and even a tachometer with a 10,500 rpm redline. For more on the MB5 (known as the MB50 outside of the US), check out the MB5 Super Site.

In addition to the Pichler fairing, this has a “Corbin style seat”, Koni shocks, upgraded fork springs, 70cc big bore kit, 22mm Mikuni carb, and more. It’s offered on a Bill of Sale but it will need the carb cleaned.

Find this “touring” MB5 for sale in Marietta, Georgia for $3,700 here on Facebook Marketplace.
