Post Listing Update: This Motocompo did not get any interest at the opening bid of $3,000.
One of the true cult classics of scooters, the Motocompo was designed to fit into the trunks of Honda’s subcompact cars of the time. To minimize dimensions of the scoot when it needs to be stored, the handlebars and seat can be folded in to become just about flush with the top of the bodywork. These were only sold in Japan and offered for just a few years, making them a rare and delightful sight in the US.
Honda specifically designed the Motocompo to fit in the trunk of the City (which was also called the Tall Boy), and the available colors of the scoot (like red, white, and yellow) matched up directly with the offerings on the City as well. It’s an iconic design that has been remembered fondly at Honda – the company previewed an updated EV version 5 years ago, but that hasn’t gone anywhere.
This Motocompo apparently has brand new body work and everything is claimed to work, though it is missing the taillight. The offering stands out thanks to the rare Japanese manuals and paperwork that are included, and original title from when the bike was imported into the US. Find it for sale in Edmond, Oklahoma with an unmet opening bid of $3,000 or a BIN of $3,500
