Mine , i bought a month or 2 ago to sell the blue to restore the black one as a rider rather than like new ...
Both are running now so thats a start ;)
   They are designed and styled after 1950's NSU
Even done to look like a 2 stroke , they are in fact ohv with the push rods running up the back of the barrel...
   The front forks are almost exact copy of a German ADLER motorcycle
  3 speed gearbox
There's a few of these bikes around but they are quite rare , JC56 and jc57 has same engine but 56 has leading link forks and the JC58 came with indicators as std
Only made as name suggests 1956 1957 & 1958 for japan home market and never exported
In fact
They dont even have HONDA written on them
Its just BENLEY On the tank badges and side panels
