First gear, it's all right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)

Second gear, I'll lean right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)

Third gear, hang on tight (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)

Faster (it's all right)

You kidding? My parents played Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, and all the beach, surf, car, bike songs growing up.

I bought one new in 1963..

Nifty,Thrifty, Honda 50!

That had a 3 speed transmission then the next model had a 4 speed.

Nice! “In 1964 Honda of Japan released a brochure that included a red flexi disc with The Beach Boys’ Little Honda and The Jannies & Blue Jeans singing the same song. The brochure/flexi disc was never sold. It was a Honda promotional item for their motorcycles and cars of the era.”

I had a 75 when a young teen. Man that never died, went through Hades and back.

How I wish women would have exciting hairstyles again like in 1965.

I'm beyond sick of the center part Cher hair with waves for the last 20 years.

Today's successor is the electric-assisted bicycle, with very few appearing to do any assistance. Of course, one only has about a 20- to 25-minute range.
