    Saw this sweet CB50 copy outside our school yesterday.
    Engine cover is stamped Jialing.
    I don't claim to know anything about it; Chinese Characteristics clearly evident in the construction, but I still covet it.

    That was a second brand name that Honda's were sold under in the early years.

    That may not be a reproduction, could be a vintage restoration?

    Hi MJH - I used to own a 1960's Honda, so I am aware of Benly.
    This one I saw is definitely brand new. It had about 100k on the clock and Chinese VIN plate.
    I guess it is some sort of licensed re-issue.

    I would like to see the threads….but the server @motorfans seems to have a malicious software code on it?
    The Benly models were made from 1946-1972, according to this website.

    My guess would be that only the frames original and maybe the head lamb with the speedometer. Its not impossible that the TAGS/VIN are repurposed from another 110cc, one that could be easily plated The frame could have been stripped and welded up and then painted and re-tagged? New standards I thought require the VIN to be etched into the steering collar? But back then the tags may have been riveted on, but today the standard makes them unalterable.

    YinXiang makes a 175cc horizontal single that has four valves.


    It is rated at 13kw?

    I wonder if it could be put into an old C100 frame?
