By any stretch of the imagination, the Honda City was a small car. It’s smaller than the modern-day Fit, which is still sold as the City in some Asian markets. That’s why it’s even more surprising that when the City debuted back in 1981, you could get one with a motorcycle in the back. However, know that the “motorcycle” was actually a 49cc two-stroker with a top speed of about 30mph, and that it would make any rider over age 12 look like a circus bear. Still, it was the perfect trackside runabout, and folded – nay, transformed – into a tidy little rectangle just small enough to prevent any obstruction in the City’s gaping rear window.
Now, thanks to ebay, a brand new, never used Motocompo that some nut has kept in the original box for 26 years can be yours for the price of $3500, or about the price of a spanking new City back in ’81. Now you might think that’s a bit steep considering the Motocompo cost only $360 then, but for cryin’ out loud, the plastic is still on the seat! We’re sooo tempted to abscond with all that magazine subscription money y’all have sent in and head down to Huntington Beach right now.

I just saw a Motocompo at a friend two weeks ago. That little bike is so cool!
btw, there is an anime series of two police girls who also drive the Motocompo in Tokyo.
Cheers,
Daniel
I want it I want it!!!! $3500 is steep though, anyway, I’d still buy one if the price is right and the condition is decent, nevermind it’s not mint 😀

Hi,
I collect early Japanese motorcycles and can easily source a Motocompo from Japan if anyone wants one. They are so small I could probably add two to my next crate with a full size Japanese bike in it. I have one coming for myself in the next few weeks. It will be nestled into the crate carrying a 1953 Honda E type Dream and some other stuff….
