Honda MT80

The Honda MT80 was another 80cc bike made specifically for market and licencing needs in the early 80's. The MT, like the MB shared pretty much everything with its 50cc stable mate but used the long stroke 78cc 45mm x 49mm motor from the MB8.
Features were the same (not surprisingly!) as the MT5 with the X style frame with twin shock design and drum brakes front and rear.
The model had a short life span and after being introduced in 1981 it was offered in parallel with the first generation air-cooled MTX80 in 1982 before being dropped completely by mid 1983.
