The Honda X8R-S also known as the Honda SZX50[1] is a sport moped manufactured by the Honda Motor Company, from 1998 to 2001.

There are two versions of the X8R: the X8R-S, the sport road version; and the X8R-X, the dual purpose version with different wheels, front fender, rear carrier and color scheme. The engine used is that seen in various Honda mopeds of the period but modified to provide more sporting performance. The machine has a full instrument panel (speedometer, fuel gauge, necessary instruments) an electric starter as well as kick start, automatic choke and a six-litre tank.
