2019 Honda Super Cub C125 Review | MC Commute

Although it’s hard for some to fathom in the US, Honda’s Super Cub is the most popular motorcycle in the world, having sold an astounding 100 million units worldwide since its debut in the late ‘50s. In a retro move, Honda returns the Super Cub to its 2019 US model lineup as a part of a three-bike mini-moto segment. We take it for a spin in this week’s MC Commute.
--
In an ode to the original Super Cub, the 2019 version is all about simplicity, convenience, and ease of use. It has, however, been modernized with full LED lighting, fuel injection, and keyless remote ignition. After samping the 2019 Super Cub in our first ride article, we get the wheels turning on the way to work in this episode of MC Commute.
Despite its modest technical specifications, the Super Cub proves to be a dream come true for urban commuters seeking to ease out of big-city gridlock and arrive at their destination in a fun, easy, and affordable way. And with its reasonable $3,599 MSRP, you’ll save as much money as you will time. What do you think of Honda’s Super Cub? Sound off in the comment selection below.

honda supercup is the light truck of most country in SEA. it can easily carry (with special rack) twice, sometimes 3 times its weight. and because the design is so robust and simple, plus the availability of parts everywhere, it easily last 2, even 3 generation of abuse. really a beast. you can even argue that this bike alone built the economy of SEA

[@saxonsoldier67]

I saw a family of 5 in the Philippines riding along just fine in traffic. A great people mover. Beats walking.

[@saxonsoldier67]

@DR Dan Agreed. Motorcycles have been the workhorse that move families and goods at relatively slow speeds. We wouldn't want to live like that in our First World Nations. We love our trucks, cars, and sport bikes.

[@b.gabbard6046]

The CT70 was officially rated at a capacity of "450lbs plus rider", according to their ads.

[@Gigamegasmoll]

It's not just a light truck. In most SEA country (including my country), moped is a light truck, family wagon, grocery getter, all terrain vehicle, or everything you want it to be.

[@oakstrong1]

I've never heard a bad word about Superb and old machines still fetch more than similar type bike of the same age because they are so reliable and here in SE Asia getting spare parts is not a problem. I wouldn't mind my next bike being a Supercub, but I would get a model with bigger seat for a pillion passenger. (I'm sure it can be modded and in SE Asia it is likely bigger seat comes as a standard.)

I’m trying to hit 100 mpg with my SV650SF. Of the only two tanks through it so far I have hit 75 mpg. That 75 mpg tank also included inefficient riding and only part of it included my new super tall (17% taller) gearing.

@@b.gabbard6046 Believe it or not, it still hauls ass off the line. Idle speed is now around 7 mph, so not fun in slow traffic. Don't expect much roll on power in 6th below 55 mph, etc. 5th gear is taller than a stock bike's 6th gear. That being said, it is a very comfortable higher speed cruiser, and should be capable of stupid touring range for something of this class. I have made it 220 miles without the fuel light coming on(2 stages, neither came on). I'll have to make a video of it sometime, I also access to a stock geared bike, which should make the comparison even better. My brother, whose stock bike that is, he said this is what the bike was supposed to feel like after riding mine for the first time. Maybe a little less tall geared, but I agree.

The target buyers of this machine are *not* going to care whether or not it will do a wheelie... Or a burnout, for that matter! The 50cc version of this was *everywhere* when I was a kid, back in the UK 50-some years ago. Or you would occasionally see someone sporty, with the 90cc version!

[@vinesauceobscurities]

Oh, Southeast Asians will find ways to do crazy shit with these things. There are whole subcultures revolving around racing underbones like crouch rockets, sometimes illegally. IIRC there were accounts of people using derivatives of Cubs for racing, but these days you'll also find high performance underbones there, and that's not getting into the modding community that could bump up the horsepower even further. Newer Japanese variations alone may even come stock with 150cc engines (like the Honda Winner, Suzuki Raider 150 and Yamaha T-150). It makes this video look outright sedated in comparison.

The bike colors represent the Four Elements; Water, Air (Sky), Fire, and Earth (where the rubber hits the road)... because the Honda guy loved red and drove a red car doesn't describe why - Red often represents passion, energy, and in Japan, it represents the Sun -- ultimately, as Fire. If you're asking about Air; well, air is the element that surrounds you while you ride the bike. [correction made; I was reminded that Sky is not an element, and that is correct, my bad on my part; I change it to Earth - where the rubber hits the road]. ; )

@@melvinboyce9629 Perhaps self centered is the better term, but I don't see how filtering is being an ass. It's safer for me as a rider to move to the front if there's room for it. Being an ass is what car drivers do when they move to purposely block motorcycles from filtering. Now, I know there are jackasses on motorcycles who don't know how to filter or lane split correctly, but the act of lane splitting and filtering is not some dumb notion of me as a rider thinking I "deserve" to be in front of someone. Rather, I'm using my motorcycle's smaller size to maneuver through traffic and avoid accidents like being rear ended by someone distracted by their phone. If you personally don't want to filter or lane split, that's cool, but don't knock us who do.

Funny that the older Cubs of 50, 70, and 90cc had pillion seats and this one has more power but only a solo.

very nice commentary, enjoyed that, thank you Mr. Waheed

[@terpysonic8360]

It looks nice. Very classical. What do you guys think about a 125cc dual sport? I think itd be cool in the mini-moto category.

[@solentbum]

If you think that was a congested road, try driving in most UK cities.

[@jmr5707]

Forget this 125 stuff. They couldn't have made it at least a 250 for the US? Honda's 250 single is so great, and freeway worthy. Maybe a nice Tobacco brown color scheme... Havanna style.

[@jessaphillips2846]

jmr5707 that’s why they ditched the 250 after 2 years in the US market for a 300 right? No 250 is freeway worthy. They’re okay to jump on for a couple of exits or during rush hour but that’s it

[@jmr5707]

@@jessaphillips2846 - 250 & 300 are practically the same... don't know why they changed it, myself. In California, anything about 200 or above is freeway legal. Not everything is a size race, either (Duhhhh, why not make it a 600? Duhhhhh...). Bikes like this are supposed to be small. It's about the ride, not how fast you get there. Why did Honda sell so many Grom's, stupid? Worthiness is a matter of perspective. I only meant one COULD take the freeway, rather than spend all day on fucking surface streets. Don't take everything so literally. Sigh... yawn 😏

I think i'll buy one of these and ride it across Europe. I'm not a big fun for speed.. even that i have a Suzuki V-strom 1000.. But this...this is a pure joy to ride.. i just rode one of those and man.. i was smiling all the time i was riding it..

@@jasonjayalap That's usually what needs to be done, but it sucks.

[@smitajky]

The 4th gear was lacking on the honda 90. Giving a second gear that was a problem. Not high enough to use on a highway hill until the speed dropped a long way. That was far more of an issue than the top gear cruising revs.

That's how much name brand 50cc bikes/mopeds typically cost new. The price is on par with every other 125cc name brand bike. "But I found this china brander for 600$!" not the same. "But I found a 125 for that used!"- yeah, USED. It's not a moped. It is a full motorcycle. Find me a brand new, street legal, non-moped, name brand, motorcycle, for 2500$ MSRP.
