Honda 50 scooters get their day out at Mondello

The Irish motorcycle racing season kicks off at Mondello Park next Saturday and the Nifty Fifty sees stars of road racing go head-to-head with amateurs on classic Honda 50 scooters.

The six-hour endurance race has a serious side with three category winners receiving €3,000 to donate to charity.

Entry costs €12.50 for adults while under-16s go free. More information is on www.mondellopark.ie.

The Honda bikes have been made famous by the 11850 TV ads (pictured).
