Honda Cub is the number one motorcycle in the world

Honda Cub is the number one motorcycle in the world
In this Discovery Channel program, there is a countdown of the best motorcycle ever. This video starts with the winner, the Honda CUB.
There are already 40 million Cubs build, making it the best selling motorcycle. This is a simple machine with a mass appeal and with its 4 Break Horsepower, it still manages to run 50 Mph.
To demonstrate the reliability of the Cub, the presentors dry to destroy it, using several methods:
Mess up the egine:
By draining all the oil and replacing it with normal cooking oil, the engine should crack up. Fortunate for the CUB it still manage to work even after riding a couple of miles.
Overload:
In the next effort to destroy the CUB, it was overloaded with 200 kilograms, which it could withstand flawlessly.
Drastic measures:
In the final attempt to kill the CUB, it was thrown of a 22 meters tall building. When the CUB collapses it hit the ground with a staggering 54 Mph speed.
Although part of the framework and the wheels get severely damaged, the true measure of its quality is to try to get the engine running... it may not surprise you that after inserting the ignition key and gently applying the kickstarter, this incredible strong vehicle starts without a cough.
In a final statement the presentor says that it would probably only gets destroyed by using C4 plastic explosive.
Because the Honda CUB is such a cheap, realiable, strong motorcycle, it is rewarded as the Number One motorcycle in the world

I literally grew up riding one of these at age 12. I rode them all over this Earth as an adult man. Now turning age 70, after selling all my big bikes, Harley, 600 Silverwing and smaller scooters I am buying a new 2019 Super Cub. I will not let myself DIE without owning the thing that gave me LIFE as a kid all the way through my entire life! Honda did a GREAT Service to the World with this bike. It allowed entire impoverished Nations ALL OVER THE globe become mobile & to industrialize. This little bike that began at 50cc, truly changed the World and changed everyone who ever rode it. I LOVE this little bike!

[@bluzcat007]

I am 49, and I could not agree more. Already spoke to the Honda dealer. I think it is going to be a bigger seller than most think.

[@thespeez]

I hope so! I just wish that they didn't have a keyless ignition!

Whoa 12! What I would give to have gotten a bike at that age. Would’ve definitely been a improvement over my razor scooter.

Well said, sir. You are a real rider! I am now working and learning as hard as I can to switch to a new career. Once I get my dream job I will get myself a new super cub too!

I have Honda Cub. It's very tough, economical. It's easy to maintain good condition. Cub parts are cheap. And I don't have a garage, so I have put it in the rain and snow for a long time. But no problem. Keeping good running. Everyone should have one per household.haha

[@Khabirov88]

Do you still have it?? Am from 1988 too and got one as a heirloom made in the same year of yours. Mine still running perfect. Years have gone i changed 4 cars but my cub still is my garage mascott.😄.. hopefully yours is there too

Only thing i've done to it recently ive change all the lights to led just to lower its electric strain when running at night time. Many motorcycles have come and gone new models but not very solidly built. But the cub is still there like.. intact..😄😄

[@MrAdpran]

I was a motocross racer in Indonesia in 80's. My first bike before I big enough for 125 class MX was Honda C70 that modified for offroad racing. I used Yamaha DT100 front fork with Honda Elsinor handlebar and 21' rim, moto-x tyres, tubular steel swing arm with Yamaha RX shocks that mounted on tilt position, reinforced the frame with extra pipe. Of course I modified the engine and sprocket too. Although the power was not big, that was a "light - easy to handle bike".

[@31freek31]

My C50 is 45 years old and still works fine as a daily driver, grand tourer and even as off-roader. :D

hondas are simply the best bikes/scooters, my dad has a 2004 sh 150cc, he just did minor maintenance and it still goes like clockwork after being used nearly every day since it was bought

[@ern48]

I had a Honda 50 Super Cub as a kid in the late 60s. I busted a hole in the crankcase and never knew it until I checked the oil one day and it was dry. I retraced my riding for that day and never found the broken chunk or the oil so I don't know how long it ran without oil. A very tough little bike!

[@korky7775]

Wow that is great. I cant believe it still held up so well.

[@zerospeedfactory9503]

used to have one, a C90 cdi for commuting to school... that was 22yrs ago before selling it my neighbor to get a newer 2stroke cub from Yamaha. My neighbor to this day still ride it to & back from his work, while my Yamaha cub... I think it has been recycled to be a steel H beam in some building already, or a metalsheet for a cargo ship. Heh...

[@niklasnotgreta]

There's no need to smash a well running bike. Many brave working people in the 3rd world would be happy to have one!

[@Bioruss]

I had the CT90 Trail and had to tow my CB750 four over 60kms home one day with it because the CB750 had a point problem and stopped on the freeway unexpectedly. My friend rode the &50 whilst I towed it. The Ct 90 never missed a beat. This was back in the 1980's. Did I mention that the CT 90 was gifted to me in a box as pieces as part payment for a XL500s that I sold to a fellow military friend. It was truly the greatest bike I have ever owned.

[@1966gto1000]

A friend of mine had one - a grey one - had he gave all kinds of abuse. A tribute to the Japanese and their engineering genius.

[@isftish]

Yes it's truly the ultimate motorbike. The backbone of businesses and families rode on the honda cub, especially around east asia. You can carry a family of 2 adults and 3 children on a cub, and you can carry an unbelivable amount of goods too...

[@memolopya]

hahahha i start to love motorcycles with this cub in my job as a pizza delivery a few years ago

[@Snufkin812]

The crashed cub had only the wheels bent and there was no damage to the engine. It would have been better to immerse it in water or step it through with heavy equipment. If you buy a cub at the age of 20, you can ride it until you become a grandfather, and even present it to your grandchildren, it will work without any problems!

[@ajyabaaa]

I had slipped and dropped the Super Cub into the pond, but it just dried and moved. I haven't done anything technical.

[@Snufkin812]

@@ajyabaaa Hmm. Come to think of it again, the cub is so mechanically simple that it will hardly break even if it is submerged. It just dries and works normally again. As long as you own the cub, you will be able to do almost all maintenance with simple tools at home, without having to go to a mechanic! The latest motorcycles are powerful and convenient, but with a lot of plastic parts and electronics, the durability can't beat the cub. That's why I like classic products.

Great video, right up to the part where they dropped it off the roof. Totally classless and a waste of a good bike. But it still ran, which showed him. I wish the bike could then have thrown him off the roof, see if he could still walk. Then that would have been a fair test on both.

It's technically a motorcycle, but it has a stamped step-through frame, which gives it a scooter-ish look. In all honesty you could just say it's a hybrid of the two, and damn if that made it easy to ride. Honda imported this bike in higher displacements (70 and 90cc if I'm not mistaken) as the Honda Passport, back in the early 80's.
