    Back story: I bought this scooter from a friend hoping to return it to its former glory (well, roadworthiness anyway) but I can't seem to find much information on it. I'd like to buy some new gaskets and possibly big bore in the future.

    Has anyone heard of this scooter at all? I can only seem to find info on it from Japan or Hungary... It goes by a few names - CY50, CA13a, Bara, Rose, Rosa, Roses. According to the Japanese version of Wikipedia the Orchid/Ran is a similar model.

    The engine code is A114 if that helps at all.

    Is anyone able to shed some light on this??

    In scooter terms, it's ancient 1985 ! Ebay will be your best bet but be aware that it will be worthless !

    Im wondering if its the same 2 speed motor as a suzuki CL50 love or CA50 roady?
    The roady was also 80cc 3 speed JDM.
    Ive seen a few on ebay over the years.
    I will check hilevel and see what bits they have and get back to you.

    Thanks guys. You can certainly tell that its had 30 odd years of abuse! I got it started yesterday after replacing the ignition coil and battery which I was happy with.
    Scubabiker I think you could be on to something there with the same motor...

    Looks all most identical to the Honda melody

    Is it a 2 speed automatic with the 2 chains thing in the transmission?
