That's a pretty neat bike.  Like Evans, I too did not know those were made.

I wonder how many were made????

I believe they were for JDM, EU, Oceania, RSA, and maybe others. And apparently CAN if the one that Rodney had wasn't gray market.

If you guys like that little bike, they also have a baby Gamma for sale

I owned one when I lived is South Africa a long long time ago.
You could only get a bike licence for a 50cc at 16 years old. You had to be 18 get a car licence. So there were a lot of these bike around. Also Gammas, kawi AR 50's, Honda MBX and MB 50's

I rode two-up all over Corfu on a DT250LC with the same motor back in the late 90's.

Cute and fun for a teenager, but slow AF for a grown-ass man.
