Do you remember what you were doing in July, 2020? You might if you’re a fan of all bikes that are miniature, Honda, or both. On July 23, 2020, Honda Motor Company officially filed a trademark application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office regarding the name Motocompacto.
This possible new model name is three letters longer than the name ‘Motocompo.’ To us, it seems like a clear nod to its roots, while also simultaneously indicating Honda’s desire for it to be seen as its own thing, set apart from its great-grandmoto. Still, it’s now November, 2022—and that was the last official word we’d heard from Honda about the Motocompacto.
