Answerewolves: No one got it.

The answers to the Guess the Frame! Finally!

-Official Model Number: PM50
-Brand and model name/make: Honda Canguro
-Replica brand model name/make: TMY Angel

-Incorrect brand and/or name/make #1: Honda Novio
-Incorrect brand and/or name/make #2: Peugeot Angel

Yup, it is a European only Honda PM50 Canguro (not kangaroo). It seems the Taiwanese company TMY got ahold of the designs for their frame and then produced the ANGEL mopeds that are too commonly (and annoyingly) refered to as Peugeot Angels. Let it be said again that there is not a single thing in common with a Peugeot!

Although the Honda PM50 and Angel share practically identical frames, they do have many differences, albeit entirely in the motorworks. The Canguro has a Honda 2-stroke, piston port, floating variated, belt drive engine. While the Angel's have a (still unknown) 2-stroke, case inducted, non-variated belt drive engine. (The Angels use a Batavus M48 cylinder/head, but the bottom end is distinctly different than a Batavus.)

Was your guess close? Prolly not. I believe Dean was the only person to guess sorta correctly on first try. Nice work.



And now for your viewing pleasure, here is a some pictures of some very nice Honda PM50 Canguro's.



And now for your manic masturbatory pleasure, here is a photo of my ANGEL:

For full clarification, many TMY Angels did come with the forks as shown in the diagram and PM50 photos. Many of them also came with General hydraulic forks, as seen above, which came on a fairly large amount of bikes with generic parts, which makes sense as the Angel is just a Taiwanese knock-off.

  1. I see a lot of Honda Novios in the UK, but not very many PM50s
