Tim,
Can you tell me about that little Honda in the second picture?
At first glance, it looks like an MR50, but the tank, forks, and sidecovers say XR75. I could swear it looks like it has a two stroke motor.

Anyway, cool "shed." I've owned both an MR50 and an XR80, so I still love to see examples in as nice of shape as yours, whatever it may be.

Jim, it is a '76 MR50 Elsinore. I frame up restored both it and the green Honda QA50 (I now wish I had not painted the frame in white Imron instead of the correct dark grey) sitting next to it about ten years ago as X-mas presents for my daughters when they were little. Both were pretty much junk when I got them. The MR's were silver in '75 and red in '76. They are kind of rare compared to other Honda 50's, as they were only made in '75 and '76.

I also grew up riding a Honda Z50, QA50, CT 70, ATC 90 and a XR75.
