Arriving in November.
I very much enjoy sharing details and stories about the bikes in our collection and much of it is not available in English so I spend time on Japanese language sites which often contain interesting details. This is especially important since so many of our bikes are rare and hard to find in the UK. Reading up on this one turned out to be particularly fun.
The bike itself is interesting enough. It’s a 2-stroke scooter with a six-port cylinder and resin reed valve. The front suspension was built with excellent dampening capabilities and it was marketed towards young people who wanted something fast and fun. Weighing in at around 60KG thanks to lightweight parts and a compact design, it was – still is – a nippy little chappy.
The bit that caught my eye while doing the research, however, was a section on the Japanese language Wikipedia page. Roughly translated it goes something like this. “Despite there being a chaotic mess of theories about the bike name, Honda said that it was based in part on Disc Jockey – something popular with young people. In addition the letter could stand for Dash, meaning fast, and Jump. Also Dynamic, meaning liveliness, Jetline – high speed feeling – and Jolly.” So that clears that up then.
This is the DJ1-RR . It doesn’t just look quick, being a lightweight 2-stroke it definitely delivers. In terms of condition, overall it is really nice. There is some scratching on the front left of the faring but other than that it looks great.
These photos were taken by our colleagues in Japan. More pictures and a video will be taken when it arrives. You can reserve this bike with a 30% (£600) deposit. The listed price is for the bike with all duty paid. UK registration can be arranged for £165. Delivery anywhere.
When the bike arrives we will film a walkaround video and take photos and send them to you, if you are not happy with the bike for any reason, we will refund your deposit in full at this stage.
