Highlights

• Honda targeted this 2 speed automatic towards new riders
• The Hondamatic transmission was initially developed for the motorcycle engine powered Honda N360 Kei car
• It uses a torque converter but left the shifting up to the rider
• It can be ridden in either 1st or 2nd gear
• The engine has lower compression, smaller carbs (26mm), a milder cam, four-into-one exhaust, and an accelerator pump fitted to the #2 carburetor (feeding all four) to alleviate any flat spot off idle
• Many of these were repurposed into drag racing bikes
