Honda C65 Kamome Cub OHV Engine Rare Vintage 1960s Original

Rare Honda C65 Kamome Cub with OHV engine. The seller notes that C65 models typically came with OHC engines, so the presence of an OHV engine is unusual and its origin is unconfirmed—it may be an early variant or a past engine swap, though no obvious modification marks are visible. The engine runs well and exhibits characteristic OHV vibration. Downdraft carburetor fitted. First gear does not engage despite making mechanical noise; gears 2 and 3 work properly, with the bike reaching approximately 50 km/h. Internal transmission or shift mechanism issue suspected. Rear tire nearly new, battery recently replaced, engine starts reliably on kick. Converted to 12V with regulator installed. Includes tandem step and retro side stand. Past restoration evident; appearance is clean for its age. Some external parts (air cleaner cover, etc.) are non-original. Registration documents (sales certificate) present; eligible for second-class moped (yellow plate) registration. Produced for less than one year before the Akari Cub replaced it, making surviving examples scarce. Odometer reads 63,246 km. Chassis number C65-D0248**. Estimated year approximately 1964, exact date unknown.

Seller grades as having scratches and dirt (傷や汚れあり). Over 60 years old with wear consistent with age; first gear non-functional, requiring internal transmission repair. No warranty; sold as-is.
