Ok so... 1. It's been a while since I've used a carb'd bike, totally forgot about the choke hahaha. 2. The leak was from the carb, I forgot to turn off the gas last time I used it (EFI has totally made me lazy)

You are an inspiration to a lot of us out here as well sir.

Hey hero I think the electrics are probably struggling because this is a 6v bike with 12v parts

overhere in holland these and the MT-5 where a great succes i had the mt-5,and everybody tuned them up. whith 70 cc cylinders and other stuff also the MB/MT-8 which where not officially sold here. mine had a 65cc aluminium cylinder and could run 107 km per hour loved it

Bro, how i miss your channel so much. and having a bike from Ari is a superb feelings. Just imagine the bond between Ari and this bike. And having him to sign this bike, this is phenomenal! Keep it up bro! ♥️

Dude!!!!!!! SICK!!!!!!!!!! And honestly. It gets up and goes alot better than i thought it would. I have never seen one of these in person and alway have wanted to. Id love to find one someday

Awesome little machine!! Looking forward to some more content on this bike!!

Cool baby bike. I remember your video featuring the RFV-500 and the two-stroke V-2 Suzuki RGV-250. Now they were awesome bikes, well ahead of their time. For the 250, back when they were new, Australia had a 250 cc Production race category, which basically had a grid full of them (with a couple of the NSR-250’s). Several world champions start out racing (from dirt) to these. One being Troy Bayliss, who I raced against for two seasons. I had 2 brand new ones in my team. Luckily I kept one and although it hasn’t run for over 25 years it still looks new. I’ve had offers of over 5 times the new price I paid for it as they once were plentiful, now extremely rare. 👍😎🇦🇺

Cool story! Ari's a modern legend. Congrats!!! ❤❤❤

Too cool! Looks great too! Been a while since I've seen an mb5 listed around here.

MB’s, MT’s etc are really making a ‘comeback’ overhere in the Netherlands. Prices are going up like crazy. For an original bike easily 3k or over.

What’s with cape cod having awesome classic Honda 50’s? Picked up an ‘80 PA50II last winter from there. I then added an MB5 to the collection afterwards. Welcome to the MB5 club!

this reminds me of the old Hercules mopeds kids were driving here in germany back in the day. looks very cool. i'd take one like this for commuting to work.

I had one of those back in the 80s. It went up to about 45mph. I loved it :D

That's a really awesome bike , loved the vid, glad you got a really fun bike from the most legendary guy Ari Henning along with Zack Courts.

The original condition these are ultra rare. I remember when they came out. 50 cc's two stroke. If you kept it on the pipe and the revs up, it was cool.

I would totally get Ari’s autograph on the bike. Not weird at all.

Excited for you bro, that’s awesome

I use to have one way back in the day. We use to pop wheelies from a stand still by popping the clutch and walking it down the street on 1 wheel as we gave it gas for like a block! Fun bike. We had our bikes tuned going over 60mph!😀👍🏾

He will want that back in years to come.

Spanking lookin bike! congrats, big ups on the new purchase.

I had the follow-up on the MB5 which was the MBX 50. A very nice bike for a teen in the 80's.

Love the house man

I love this bike. This model was my first ever motorcycle back in 1985

Ahh the memories.. being 16 and wanting this bike so much! I never got one, I waited until I was 17 and bought a new Honda NS125F. UK laws at the time meant you could only ride a moped/50cc max bike as a learner. Then 125cc at 17 as a learner..

I had one of these in middle school back in the late 80's, early 90's. Loved it but I never could keep it running long.

It's so cool bro. 😁 The two stroke powerband is so addictive even if only 50cc. Would be cool to see some top speed run on the road. You could track your speed with your phone's GPS.

Lol that's amazing. Ari Henning is a legend in the motorcycle world.

Love your vids

love your videos ❤❤❤

MB5 that a rocking wheelie machine find the balance & rock it to the next mile nice 50 w 6 speeds very cool

Building a Honda 50 with my dad (80cc conversion) and I want one of these now

Super nice, I owned one when I was young. Drove 64000km with it.

Looks really good compared to a boring electric modern EU moped! 😎... if you haven't done mechanics yourself before, is it difficult to change the cylinder from the 50 cc MB5 comes with to an 80 cc that I can get in the purchase if I buy an MB5 I found now? Can the police immediately see that it is an 80 cc compared to a 50 cc cylinder? how does it work? thanks for the reply!

Wow haven't seen one of those since I was a teen, there was this pretty big moped culture overhere we would do anything to make them go faster and faster...it's a miracle I'm still alive.

My first bike was an MB5. It carried me to college and work for 5 years until I passed my driving test and could afford a car. It survived a Micron, Boyson reeds, reed stop mod, raised gearing, MBX80 carb and K&N filter. During lunch time at college I skimmed the head, raised the ports and bored the inlet manifold. It carried on going despite my amateur surgery. A 65cc bore kit helped most, but I sold it before fitting a CDI unit from an unrestricted bike. I learnt loads about fiddling with bikes, but Honda sure did a job on restricting this UK model....

Those were cool little bikes. My buddy had one. It wasn't as fast as my Yamaha RX50 Midnight Special, though. Ari was co-editor of Motorcyclist Magazine with Zack Courts.

cool lil bike. sounds awesome!!!...

I pulled one of them out of a canal when i was a kid. I was so disappointed when the police took it off me pushing it home.

My top speed on my NB5 was 55. It's been sitting since 1987 but today I am rebuilding it May 9th 2022 May 9th 2022.

I had the MT5 here in europe a couple years ago. It was such a fun bike i bought it for about 400 bucks lol.

I saw he was on the cape recently!!!

Wow that signature!!!

When I was in school around mid 80s that bike belonged to the rich kids, rode one at some point it flew for its time. If I can remember 84kmh.

Wow. To think I saw these bikes riding around in my country at the time. The MB5 (had a fairing around the headlight if I'm not mistaken) and the off-road MT5. I was in high school at the time I think.

It actually looks fast for an MB5!👍😁

Blinkers.... Lol!! We call them indicators as that's exactly what they do for other road users they "indicate" if your intending to pull out or turn off the road. On an old 12bhp it would wheelie but required a clutch pop style.....

That's a cool looking bike. It looks like a backbone but it is an underbone type motorcycle.

Look up a KZfaq channel Allen Millyard you might be amazed what can be achieved with the smaller cc ?

It would be nice to finish putting a complete cr80 engine in it.

The laughter is everything! 😄

Welcome to 2 stroke world bro! You are going to get addicted.... Try Honda NSR250 and you will never stop riding 'em 2Ts. Cheers

That’s crazy cool. 👍

Birds of a feather flock together

You should take the fender he signed off and get a new one dope bike and experience

My mate had a new mbx 50 the trail bike version in the 80's

Such a cool bike I've always wanted one. She needs a pipe with expansion chamber tho.

I no we’re there is a mint white one with the nose fairing , like brand new , the guy who bought it brand new in 82 , past away , does 32 mph cheers shane uk 🇬🇧

I was on my way to get a mini bike or an MB5 and my neighbor who road a worked sub-9 second '83 Kawasaki GPZ 1100 saw me and told me wait, come with me. He took me to his bud's house who pulled a tarp off a barely broken in '83 GPZ 305 with (no kidding) 305 miles on it. The guy was a big guy and he dropped it, but it just had a minor dent in the tank and it needed a rear tire and the rear taillight. I asked how much, he said he'd take $300 for it because he got the insurance for it. I didn't even flinch. I reached into my pocket and gave him the cash and it went home with me that night. I spent $85 on the whole rear fender assembly that included the lights, pulled the rear wheel off, literally rolled it to a bike shop about 12 blocks away, had a new tire installed for a hundred bucks, rolled it back home, mounted it, put the front fairing back on and after 2 days of wrenching it, I was riding it. But those MB5's were the bees knees back in the day.

PMSL My first bike was the mt 5 :) The trial version Loved it and still riding,NOW OWN A VTR 1000F FIRESTORM LOL:)

I have a red original one in 'like new' condition! Runs great, but needs new battery.

Cool, just wondering if you know about the Honda MB100?

Here in NH didn't know you were in Massachusetts

That is cool as hell

Man I used to own one of this MB5 back in 1983 during my high school year . Mine was red color . I remember this dame was fun and it is Leak a lot . As an Asian Vietnamese Chinese American I got balls to drive this thing from San Jose California to San Francisco hahahaha lol 😂😂😄😄👍👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳!!!

Advice take off the tach and just use the Trail Tech.The speedometer will look a lot better by itself and mile per hour that works

That thing is bad ass

Hell yeah 2 stroke 😍🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥

No choke ? Next time I’ll wait till the end to comment 😂😂

amazing

Cool lil motorbike bro that’s what I’m all about collecting bikes #Powamoto 🔥❤️🙏🏽👍💯😍😍

I had a tomos when i was a kid. 50mph down a hill.

I think that's been de restricted and maybe tuned a little, seems far too nippy from how i remember back in the day, and iirc it should have square clocks, cool bike

Had one of these when started out biking at 16, OMG 12bhp, push bikes were more powerful..........

Cool bike. Maybe a small maintenance will solve the electric problems. Enjoy your new toy 😎

I bought one, brand new, from Rick Case in Cleveland, for $399.99. They had simi tractor trailer loads full of motorcycle in crates, you'd get in line, pay your money and get in another line to get the bike which was being taken out of the crate and prepped as you were doing the transactions. If there is a better way to spend $400.00, I'd like to hear it. Of all the motorcycles and scooters I've owned, this is one I should have hung onto. I miss the sound and smell of 2 strokes!

Dude yesterday I saw this video and today i saw one outside my store 🤣. The performance was not like yours to say at least 😉

fun bike can,t over ref it its a 2 stroke haha believe there are more than enough after market parts available

I'm seeing this trend here that you seem to own a lot of Hondas. It must be that you like the color red.

wait that was you who bought that... lol i think i watch ari instagram story about last ride if my memory is not wrong lol.

iits just like yamaha RD series

looks fun, but I think it's time for you to try some enduro bike ;)

😊

make it a mal0ssi 110cc :P with a bigger carb and race pipe that w0uld make it sucha fun bike check it 0ut :P

How about test it some before making a video about it instead of saying not sure, I need to test that...?

Hi there, I had one of those, rode it for 2 minutes and parked it up and sold it. Freaking hated it, you could walk quicker, i got into fourth gear just crossing a two lane road, 30mph top speed, i gave it away to my brother in law and he loved it, probably because it was his first bike. Nice wee video man. Give it a big of throttle when kicking it, it should start a bit better. Your bike goes way better than the one i had. Grrrrrrrrrr lol 😂

You start that like a nube

I have a OEM Airbox

Look in Europeanen webshop 45km originele

nice bike but the gear box is bigger than the engine

Braided brake line? 😂

I have a spare Gauge and air box if you're interested.

With my stock, 2 year old MB5, 5-spd, I could go 56 mph in a tuck.

Quite a bit of a powerhouse for a 50 cc😂

2018 - The reason why I won't get a 1000cc Super Bike 2021 - Buys an MB5 with 500bhp which will leave any 1000cc bike owner scared. Smh

All the swedish mopedkids right now🥵🥵🥵

HONDA fan boy here

1st for the review 😎

For what?

And do not engine brake! It will seize the engine
