A recreational motorcycle released by Honda Motor Co., Ltd. in 1981.
It featured a compact, lightweight body with a dry weight of 42 kg, powered by a 49 cc, 2.5 horsepower two-stroke engine, and was equipped with foldable handlebars and footrests, as well as leak-proof mechanisms for fuel,engine oil, and the battery.
Honda, which developed and produced both four-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicles, had long been offering compact motorcycles that could be loaded into cars.
Targeting trend-conscious young people as its main customers, the MOTOCOMPO proposed a new six-wheeled lifestyle that combined the comfort of a four-wheeled vehicle with the maneuverability of a two-wheeler by allowing it to be stored in the trunk of the “CITY,” a compact car released at the same time.

The dial features the striking yellow color of the MOTOCOMPO, with the HONDA logo emblazoned along the black section that cuts across the center.
The “AUTOMATIC” lettering at the 6 oʼclock position features a special font inspired by the MOTOCOMPO logo.

The crown features the word “TURN,” inspired by the design of the fuel cock.
Furthermore, drawing inspiration from the attachment point used to secure the MOTOCOMPO to a car with a strap, part of the watch's strap bears the inscription “CARRYING POINT,” while the tip of the strap is marked “INSERTION POINT.”

As a feature unique to this limited-edition model, the case back is marked with the silhouette of the MOTOCOMPO, the words “Limited Edition,” and a serial number.
