#Honda Motocompo

[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

What a difference 42 years makes juxtaposition of Honda City & Honda Motocompo, 1981 and Honda SUSTAINA-C Concept & Honda Pocket Concept, 2023. In the early 1980s Honda introduced the City small hatchback along with the Motocompo, a tiny folding motor cycle that was designed to tuck inside the City's boot. A this year's Japan Mobility Show Honda have presented the SUSTAINA-C Concept, a small electric car made of acrylic resin that is recycled and reused. The Pocket concept is a tiny folding electric bike that fits inside the SUSTAINA's rear hatch. The Motocomp was only on sale for 2 years before it was withdrawn due to lack of demand. No production plans have been announced for either of the 2023 concepts

Motorcycle News: An impressive new WORLD RECORD and the Motocompo is back!

WOW, I hope I am still riding at his age!!!! Not sure this is an improvement over the original.

What about motorcycles?

Ohohoh. You thought you were going to put me in a spot of bother right here, eh? You thought you'd find me completely clueless as to what to tell you, huh?? You thought, HUH???? Well, unlucky for you, I have TWO entire BOOKS about motorcycles.

So I can just open the first one to a random page and tell you something about a motorcycle. *eh-hem* Fun fact about motorcycle...

...tits!

Okay, that was the first time I ever opened that book and I don't think it's going to top that, so let's just move on to the next one.

Well, this looks significantly weirder. What the hell are those funky things meant to be?

Wait wait wait. Folding???? "Trunk Bike"???? What do you mean????

Well, they mean that you could pull up to your Honda City Turbo II, fold down handlebars and seat, chuck it in the back and go on your merry way!

It was full of clever touches like an integrated wire lock, side bumpers so you could lay it flat, and even an optional backpack that latched onto the bike through the internal holes!

Bafflingly enough, this was nowhere near as much of a hit as was expected, failing to even hit a third of its targets by the end of its production with around 53.000 ever being produced. But what success it lacked in showroom life blossomed after, with a dedicated community of fans that spawned, among many other things, this book.

So, indeed, fun fact about Motocompo...

...tits!

Yes, this is an artbook dedicated to a vanishingly rare Japan-only early-80s folding scooter featuring manga tits. This thing couldn't be more Japanese if they drew the Motocompo as a tempura.

Although I guess it can't hurt to try.

Trust me, y'all cannot conceive how fantastically weird this book is. The picture above is not even an outlier. That's just the level. There's shoes, mini mangas, personifications, and of course...

...tits!

"Oh wow -I hear you say- look at the crazy tires they drew on that one!" And well, you're not gonna believe this:

Oh and the owner of this one has some half dozen. One of them replaces the stock 2.5HP engine with a Kawasaki unit as powerful as my car.

Oh right, forgot to mention. The book has a section dedicated to some of the finest modified Motocompos in the whole of Japan.

Why are you even asking? Of course there's itashas.

I humbly beg you to notice the tread pattern on the tire - of course, the most popular among Motocompo enthusiasts.

And I know what y'all are gonna think - y'all are gonna think I want one of these mad little scooters badly. And well, that's not quite true. I want about 10% of one, an electric motor and some batteries, and otherwise I'm good ;)

'Til then, it lays dormant in a silent prayer that my mom keeps not wondering what's up with that huge box atop the shelf with giant kanji all over it. And that the mailman hates me less than I assume he does.

Anyway, figured I would leave you with a double spread from the book featuring two quotes that have me torn on which I should get tatted on my back.

EDIT: It seems this post is shadowbanned. I cannot fathom why.

I made these mix-and-match motorcycles for my twitch channel. I don't have plans on releasing them as a set but I've been slowly adding to them since I started streaming. L to R Godzilla on a Honda Motocompo, Skeleton on a Kawasaki Ninja, Kamen Rider Black on Battlehopper, The Prince of the Cosmos on a Honda EZ-90 Cub, a generic rider on a Yamaha TW200.

So a few months ago I saw this post about this 80s Honda car; which I reblogged below this post- and I fell absolutely in love with it.

This weekend I discovered that TakaraTomy had made a Transformers Masterpiece on that very car and I got obsessed. (To the point of getting help getting it lmao)

So here it is.

Reboost.

Modeled after the 1980s Honda City car, with its modular moped addition the Motocompo.

WHICH FITS INSIDE THE TRANSFORMER!!

Much love

We brought back the most iconic small scale transit of the past 50 years and made it electric!

It is worse in every way than an average folding eBike and it is $1000 and you might have to register it as a moped would you like to pre-order it
