You should buy one. Do some performance mods. Intake, carb, pipe, compression. Get more rpm and maybe 1.5 lbs of torque. It would be a funny build series. You could even build the worlds fasted Motocompo.
That was a fun adventure. I could feel that bump through the headphones. When your voice went up a few octaves I swear it looked like the bike moved a little faster. 😆 I want one of those too. If anything at the very least it's a great piece of motorcycle history. Honda really does cover all the bases of personal mobility and choice for everyone.
Definitely a bike lane minibike but it looks like a boatload of fun. I love the ying ying ying of the two stroke motor. Damn, I miss the two strokes. Run synthetic two stroke oil in it and quality gas in it, and it will last forever. Dammit, Yam, you are going to make me buy a Honda Ruckus with this video. Fun video.
Loved this, totally look like you were truly enjoying every moment riding that adorable little motobike! Even had some Duel vibes going on when you were climbing that grade with little to no power...the screams of desperation and urgency! This made my morning👍👍👍
Wanted one of these since I was a kid and I'm crushed every time I see them featured cuz they're just exploding in price. Once I got to a place in life I could afford one, the prices got too high to justify a lil scoot for the price of a Miata. I mean it's not like 10yr old me picked the R34 GTR ya know?
Honda is releasing the new motocompacto next year which is an all electric version of this and it’s a lot lighter and more compact than this one. So funny I took a training test about it the other day per my job and here yammie posts a video of the old motocompo haha
That boxy body looks like it could be an interesting platform for an electric conversion. Hub motor wheel(s) with battery pack and controller in the box body. 🤔
So I'd hate to see a moto compo get hurt! But if you could get a chance to do a tike attack, moto compo vs the new electric one in a small parking lot or something would be such an awesome video
Honest question: are e-scooters not a thing in America? This whole video, I was wondering if Yammie has ever heard of e-scooters. They are exactly what the Motocompo is, but better. They're faster, lighter, smaller, more comfortable, AND electric.
This is how the modern electric scooters should be. Foldable, with seat and blinkers. Not this abomination on possibly smallest wheels, tripping on small rocks, crashing into pedestrians and turning without any indication.
it takes massive nuts to ride max speed and still have vehicles pass. its humbling to me. little tires feel every imperfection in the road and most average potholes are a unexpected parkour moment if that front tire digs in.
Chinese modernized copies of this bike just appeared in the Chongqing motor show last month. they're now with a 125cc engine..I noted but not very impressed.
Collapsible motorcycle reminds me of these tiny folding electric bicycles people in Japan use to drive to motorists who have had too much to drink, drive them in their cars back home with the folding bike in the back, and then the driver drives his bike back to his home and awaits his next call to drive drunks so they don't get in crashes or kill anyone on the road. - Japan's Tiny ANSWER to Drunk Driving ruclips.net/video/uKOBZD_s8q8/видео.html - $800 This Pocket-Sized Folding Ebike Is Surprisingly Zippy - Lectric XP Lite Review ruclips.net/video/gAwrB9AnY9k/видео.html
I love these! Never ridden one, but I believe it would come in handy when all the car shows are in town. Really anytime in summer because traffic is horrendous and we have plenty of sidewalks to ride on if the cars are moving.
No way I can get away with riding around in Rural Texas with one of these. Especially not with the beer chugging Brodozer drivers that roam the roads here.

A bigass battery would get it to 60 mph or so
MCM would be proud
What a nugget

Don't forget to install al big bore kit and extended swing arm to have the baddest pit bike money can buy.
Somehow the most dangerous motorcycle video I’ve seen in a long time
I'm so glad yammie got to do a video on these. Found out about them years ago and they make so much sense even today
That was probably one of the coolest videos you've ever done
I would be cackling if I saw a full grown person in a full face helmet riding that down the road 😂😂 love it
There's a guy in the U.K. that has one of those, and he owns several AEC Routemaster busses. He has a RUclips channel aptly called Pete & His Bus.
I've been looking in the new electric Motocompacto, less than 1k.
Loved this, totally look like you were truly enjoying every moment riding that adorable little motobike! Even had some Duel vibes going on when you were climbing that grade with little to no power...the screams of desperation and urgency! This made my morning👍👍👍
I know this is a bike channel but would be cool to review the car
Omg my buddy in high school had the full kit from his dad
Yams is slowly evolving from a squid to a biker-dad 😂
fun fact
japanese really made a 150cc motocompo and rode it on the highway neat toyko
there is a video on youtube of that
100lb (45kg) is light compared to other bikes but still mighty difficult to lift in and out of your car. Even more so if you're a small Japanese.

you finally got to it 5 years after MCM, a CAR show.
Theyre making a new version of this. It was just announced at the japan mobility show
I’m buying a 2023 hornet soon. Then one of these. It’s too sexy
Thanks to internet the motocompo prices have ecploded. Gettin one within reasonable price range is almost impossible anymore.
dream bike was panigale v4 but not anymore🤩
Do both, get a Panigale V2 instead, and buy a Motocompo with the money difference 😅👌
Yammie you should get a Zero 11x

The Rossi baby thing! 😂😂😂
Try the Yamaha Zuma 125, best all round scooter out there.
please take it to the the track like full rossied out

looks about the same speed as the little rentable electric scooters they have in Tacoma, Wa.
Take it to the track!
Track review.. when?
... After watching him fold it back up, I just can't understand why this wasn't the most popular accessory ever!
Interesting that this video came out days before the all electric re-release announcement from Honda. Curious...🤔
it takes massive nuts to ride max speed and still have vehicles pass. its humbling to me. little tires feel every imperfection in the road and most average potholes are a unexpected parkour moment if that front tire digs in.
I’ve already got a cute little scooter. A Yamaha Tmax.
Gotta do the EZ Cub 90 next
It looks likea Pez dispenser on wheels!
The motocompo and the city are great to get other than it's like 10k€ now
When are you going to do a review the duke 890 track/street
I would be more than fine with one of those here in Finland! :D
2 stroke 49 cc mopeds can be fast and fun
Not gonna lie booby, I truly thought this was your last ride...only reason I'm even watching this video.
Hey Yam can we hear your thoughts on the upcoming Kawasaki Ninja 7 hybrid?🙏
One of these should have been in a Transformers movie. The whole car and everything.
Track Day!!! lol
Pretty much a moped. Mopeds are a criminally underrated source of childish fun.
Want one
Should have been in a full race suit 😂
For all the brahs thay call my little mt03 turtle gang! 😂🐢🔥
Chinese modernized copies of this bike just appeared in the Chongqing motor show last month. they're now with a 125cc engine..I noted but not very impressed.
Yammie verified better than the Boom 👍
How does this compare to great beginner bikes such as an H2R or turbobusa?
That's adorable! dammit, now I want one. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Compare it to the new one
imagine racing this on a karting track
🫣
Tiny scooter go vroom.
Super cute 🤣
we need a engine swap asap
My E scoot is totally faster lmao. But it is cool looking.
Never meet your heroes, unless they are a Motocompo.
what a squid missile
Why not get a 50 with a real transmission
I would rather have the car that went with this bike.
