At the heart of the 2015 Honda NSC50R scooter motorcycle, Honda relies on a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.5 HP (2.5 kW) at 8,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.5 Nm (2.6 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive.
On the scales, the NSC50R measures 105 kg (231 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 760 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,847 mm (72.7 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 5.5-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.01 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 274 km (170 miles) between fill-ups.
Within MotoLibrary's Honda archive, this model family spans 4 indexed model years from 2013 to 2016, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
