1998 Honda 49cc Julio Motor Scooter
Frame no. AF52-1005922
Engine no. AF24E-7005919

Categorised by Honda as a 'fashion scooter', the Julio arrived in 1998. Aimed predominantly as the style-conscious youth market, the Julio featured fashionable 'retro' lines and bright colour schemes. To comply with the latest emissions regulations the Julio's 49cc two-stroke motor was fitted with a catalyser, while other noteworthy features included rubber engine mounts, 'twist-'n-go' transmission, storage space for a full-face helmet, locking centre stand, and an anti-theft device directly connected to the starter. An annual domestic sales target of 30,000 units was set for the Julio, which was not sold in the UK. The example offered here is finished in the limited edition colour scheme of Fighting Red with Classic White, celebrating Honda's 50th Anniversary. First registered in 2003 and offered with Swansea V5C document, it displays a total of only 2 kilometres on the odometer and is presented in commensurately good condition. The current vendor purchased the machine at Bonhams' Stafford sale in October 2010 (Lot 263). Prospective purchasers should be aware that should an exported motorcycle come with a V5 or V5C they will have to apply to the DVLA to have the original registration number reallocated. This vehicle, having completed less than 6,000kms, may be deemed to fall in the NMT category under NOVA if the vehicle is registered in the UK.
