Back in 2002 Honda released a cute little 50cc 4-stroker called the Today. This shot from Daniel Hoye was likely taken in Japan.
Two years later it was released to China. Then is was brought to America in two thousand never. At least we can enjoy the pictures.
From what I gather, it is still produced today as the “Today Deluxe” and now comes in swanky color combinations (see below) and sells for less than $900 US.
(Today Deluxe. I’m holding out for the Honda “Today Double, extra cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato, mayo with a side of rings” due out in the USA next week (in an alternate universe).)

I have four or five scooter magazines and catalogs from Japan…they have all kinds of neato stuff we can’t get over here.

In the late ’80s Honda had a car called the ‘Today’. It was a 660 cc kei-class, a limited in size and engine displacement for tax reasons. It looked like a 3/4 scale Civic.
I dunno, this thing looks so insubstantial, hitting a bump with a rider heavier than, oh, 250 lbs. would cause it to break in half…

Hrm. I used to visit a site called “Japan Today”, but there’s nothing small about it.
As for the substance on this “Today” scooter… sure it won’t take a 250lbs lug through a motocross, but for hauling a college girl across campus it’s prettier than some of the other 50cc choices.
