The Honda Benly CL50 is a Benly series scrambler style with a horizontal engine mounted on a T-bone frame. It was lined up twice, for several years from 1968 and for several years after its revival release in 1997, about 30 years later. The CL50 in the 1990s reappeared in response to the retro style boom, gaining popularity mainly among young women. Combination of Super Cub type 49cc air-cooled 4-stroke single cylinder engine, rotary type 4-speed transmission, front and rear 17-inch wheels, and mechanical drum brakes (leading and trailing). In 1999, it underwent a minor change, adopting a puncture-resistant tough up tube, which was also used in the Super Cub.
