Motorbike collectors’ fascination with the “Honda ‘67” motorbike is both aesthetic and practical. The compact bike’s sophisticated look is simple and stylish, not too utilitarian and not too flashy.
At the same time, the bikes are reliable, durable, fuel-efficient and easy to repair.
The best place to buy the old SS50s (SS50 is the real model name, “67” is just the Vietnamese nickname, though the bikes were made from 1965-1972) is in the Mekong Delta’s An Giang Province – just as close to Phnom Penh as to Ho Chi Minh City – where for years locals imported them cheaply from Cambodia.
Collectors from HCMC and even as far as Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province regularly make trips to An Giang to scout for models they want.

I was stationed with the 40th-arrs from 1970 thru 1971 so this image brings back lots of memories.
