Super Cub - Coolest bike I've seen in years!
« on: August 10, 2019, 06:34:06 PM »


While at the Art on the (school) Lawn show today in my coffee village, I saw a convoy of 6 Can-Am Spyders and a whole bunch of motorcycles and cruisers ride through town.
Then I came upon these two Hondas parked in the shade.

$3600 MSRP with only an $80 rear rack for accessories. Probably put you out the door for @$4500, all in.







That dealer is 86 miles away.

I've seen nothing in recent years that impressed me as much as these two beauties.
I like: small engines, big wheels, ABS, LEDs, quality build.
If I was 5'7" instead of 6'3".!!

At that price they've a lot of detractors - I'm not one.

A coworker at work is planning to get one.   As soon as she gets out of her cast.

A modern update of a well-worked-out classic, beautifully done. :D

I was a SYM dealer and had very little demand for the SYMBA.... although I thought it should have been a runaway best seller.

They are about 6k in Australia. They look very nice though, definitely not a regular superclub.

Sorry. I thought everyone in the two wheel word had heard.
It's the new Honda Super Cub.
In variations from Honda since the 1950's - the most produced vehicle in history.
Reportedly...this version is actually made in Japan once again!

Love the new iteration.
It shares an engine with the Grom so parts are abundant, & varied if you're of a mind to tweak 'em.
Sadly no room in the garage at the moment so not likely to happen.

Another new Honda.  No word on if/when it will come to the USA.  150cc based on the PCX.
