Dax Honda Export 70
Scale - 1/6th
Item No - 16002

A Unique Little 2-Wheeler
Named for the resemblance of its main frame to Dachshund dogs, this motorcycle was unleashed on the world in the summer of 1969.
It fused form and function, with the "T-bone" frame completely enclosing the gas tank within.
A removable front section meant that this little bike could be stowed in your car truck and transported to your destination, where it could be re-assembled and ridden around for fun.
It inherited an extremely reliable 4-cycle OHC single-cylinder engine from the legendary Honda Super Cub, and employed a 3-speed transmission, its budget price and peerless reliability making the bike a great model for those just starting out on 2 wheels.


About the Model
★This is a 1/6 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 250mm.
★An accurate rendering of the bike captures the distinctive "T-bone" frame plus internal battery and gas tank.

Funny thing is, I think Round2 just released this same bike in 1/25 in their reissue if the 1978 Dodge D100 LWB 4x2 Sweptside. Jim
