I used to have a little 50cc Honda Cub years ago...in green and white. In Ireland we called them "nifty fifty's". Sat on a 2022 Supercub a couple.of weeks ago brought back a lot of memories. I love the carrier box you put together!! I'm surprised Honda did not offer a solution as this bike seems ideal for zipping around town picking up groceries etc. Greetings from Alicante, Spain.

Just bought a super cub this week for my wife. Same color as the one in this video. It only has 1 mile on it as it has rained every day since we brought it home. She had a px150 scooter and did not like it at all. Once she took a test drive on the super cub she was sold. I ride a Honda Rebel 250 and we both look forward to riding together and even doing some two wheel camping. I love the super cub almost as much as my rebel. Both are great bikes.

Back in 1996 I decided I had had enough of cars and how much they cost to run so I bought a used Cub 90. I had that little bike for three and a half years and it never let me down and did 120 miles to a (UK) gallon. All I had to do was change the oil occasionally and take it in for a check every few months to make sure everything was OK mechanically. Oh yes, and a new pair of tyres, but they were dirt cheap. How I miss that little bike!

Technically it is not a scientifical clutch. It is a slipper clutch with bushing drive shaft, and a pin disengagement actuated with the heel/ tow action. Scientifical force plays no part in gear disengagement. It is the drive shaft bushing that allows you to keep it in 1st without having to hold the gear gearshifter down which actuates the clutch pin which is adjustable. There is another name for that clutch adjustment screw I just call it the pin screw. Anyways it is a great and passionate video and I really enjoy the content. Research that clutch because you will have to adjust the little screw I'm talking about and it is a Marvel of engineering that went from 50, to 70, to 90, to 110 and now 125 CC. Anyways wishing you many miles with big smiles and deliveries to be plenty.

Thanks for the review. I bought a 2021 cub in January here in australia, same colour as yours. It's a real joy to ride, and I'm neglecting my other two bikes in favour of the little cub. If I had to choose just one bike to own, it would be this beautiful iconic SuperCub. I read a great article about the original cub, written by James May shortly after the Top Gear Vietnam episode, and will quote it here; A while back, America's Discovery Channel conducted a series of destructive tests on a Honda Cub ... they declared it the greatest motorcycle ever made. Well, I've been riding a 50cc Honda Cub - for quite a distance, in fact, but more of that some other time - and I think they got it wrong. I'd like to declare the Honda Cub to be the greatest machine of all time; nay, the single most influential product of humankind's creativity. Was he exaggerating? maybe a little, but these bikes have outsold the model T ford, the VW beetle and the toyota corolla combined. And I think this new version, while not the bare bones utility transport it was originally, has truly captured the spirit of the original. I think if you strip away all ego and everything that gets in the way of the pure joy of motorcycling, you end up with the Honda Super Cub. But that's just me ;)

To give you picture, I'm 6' guy and was 220lbs at the time so I was a little self conscious about how I looked on it. That is, until I filled it up for the first time. Spent less than $4 for the fuel. All of a sudden, I didn't feel too embarrassed riding what looked like a Power Wheel when I rode it. I even went as far as making sure I stopped by big SUVs when fueling about every other week.

The real test is hauling groceries with it. Lots of groceries. Something you'll do every two weeks. That's what I use my Honda for. I don't understand any motorcycles that are sold without some cargo carrying capability. Maybe mount a motorcycle duffle bag between your legs. I've got a huge plastic storage box with hinged lid and lock mounted on the back of my motorcycle like you do, but I bolted mine over the rear seat and onto the third party storage rack. On my rebel, I have a duffle bag that slips over the sissy back rest but it tends to slid to the side when full so you're reaching around to shove it back on the back seat sometimes. Backpack goes over the gas tank on a conventional motorcycle.

About a 115 miles, but I only put .75 of a gallon. The fuel gauge on the Super Cub has fuel bars, so the last fuel bar starts blinking at about 85 miles, so right around 110 to 115 miles I stop to get fuel. Thanks for watching and ride safe.

I realllllly wish Honda would completely do away with that 125 engine and go to a 150cc 4 valve 5 speed. That would put all the 125's up to an EASY 65 MPH top speed and being able to pull your average hills at a steady 55 MPH. At least they have overbore kits for the Grom. Wonder if they would work on the Cub/Hunter/Trail platforms as well. Good vid bro. 😎👊👊

I think there’s a couple reasons I see why they won’t due to safety and marketing.. 1) the bigger engine and higher speed will compete with their PCX and ADV models; 2) the skinny tires will be more unstable above 60mph, unlike the PCX and ADV.

there is ALWAYS...ALWAYS some boob in the comment section that has to bitch about an engine in a motorcycle that has been made for eons not being big enough.

Also I'm 5'10'' and 225 pounds .Do you think I'd fit on the cub? I've secretly wanted one since high school. Lol! I just want it for errands, work is a mile from my house and the occasional brewski. I have a motorcycle for long distance work. Thanks for your input. I'm definitely enjoying your channel. Love your wooden crate!

Thank you for your kind words, Richard. That is a good price with six miles, it is still a puppy. A new one (if you can find one) costs more with taxes and fees, plus freight charges have gone up with the rising fuel prices in the world.

Do cops ever stop you because you're driving a moped. They kind of ignore me on a motorcycle unless I'm over the speed limit. You'd have to go through a small town and not see a sign to get a speeding ticket in that. You could take that crate to a woodworking shop and have them clean it up a bit and route the edges with a nice beveled curve and dress it up a bit, or just build you a nice one. Have fun. I'd totally do a long distance road trip on a SuperCub. I want one of the old ones though.

Oh...that is too bad about the demo ride. On the weight, you see people riding Super Cub's 2up. I assume the salesman that took your deposit knows it's for you. If it was a problem, the salesman would have suggested a different bike for you. I was 252 pounds when I bought mine, now I weigh 234. I got to demo ride mine and wanted to make sure I could do 55mph with me on it, and did. Best of luck it is a wonderful machine to ride. Have a good day and ride safe.
