The C50 was the 49.5 cc overhead-cam Super Cub introduced in 1966. It kept the step-through pressed-steel frame, leg shields, leading-link fork and three-speed semi-automatic gearbox that made the Cub easy for anyone to ride. Sold worldwide for well over a decade, it helped make the Cub the best-selling motor vehicle in history.
