The CM450A was a motorcycle created by Honda in 1982 and 1983. It had a 450cc SOHC parallel twin engine with two carburators and a 2-speed automatic transmission. It was not a full automatic, however, because the rider had to manually shift between first and second. It is called automatic because there is no clutch required due to the torque converter. The CM450A had a top speed of 85 miles per hour (135km/hr). It had a front disc brake and a rear drum brake. The gas tank had a 3.5 gallon capacity.

The Hondamatic was available in two different color selections for 1982: Candy Muse Red with Candy Antares Red on the gas tank and side cover, or Candy Empire Blue with Candy Dark Blue on the gas tank and side cover. In 1983 it was available in Black with Achilles Black on the tank and side cover, or Candy Regal Brown with Chestnut Gold on the tank and side cover.[1]
