The highest selling motor vehicle ever made and the bike that mobilised Asia.
I had the iconic Honda Cub for the day. 20 years after the last of the C90s were sold in the UK back in 2002, what's it like to live with?

Used to buy these 45 years ago for £10 to £30 and take everything off and ride on fields and quarries as 10 to 15 year olds, great fun and the start of a biking obsession. Bought a 1983 model and used it to work and back for years. Left it at dad’s house for 12 years whilst living abroad just covered with a tarp. Returned to uk in 2001 and god’s honest truth, towed it round the field with Ferguson T20 and it started after 20 yards with original old fuel in it, then after putting in fresh fuel it started every time first kick. Never turned off fuel or used the choke, and kept it for another 10 years before swapping it for a 1970 Yamaha V50 2 stroke automatic which I still own and ride regularly with the rest of the 50 year old moped gang. Big bike for serious touring but great fun to be had with 25, middle aged men tearing up the country roads at 30mph on a sunny day😂😂😂😂 PS nice to hear Monika laughing at you in the back ground again, we’ve missed that🥰

Actually I learn to pop a wheelie on a Yamaha Pasolla b4 moving to Honda C70

I have a c50 for 40 years since i was student in university. As i hear your cub valves are noisy not adjusted properly,l maintain mine with the help of Haynes manual,it starts with half a kick,also it consumes almost nothing,. I had very nice times with it,also had an accident seven months ago which keeps me not to ride it,, very proud to have it, it is my baby

The reason why it wouldnt start is because of using the choke in warm weather, its really only there for cold winter starts. You can pretty much start these first or second kick on a warm summers day on a cold engine with the choke switched off.

@@330timunson5 To be fair, the Bonnies are extremely cold blooded. I've got a 2011 T100, 865cc air cooled EFI, and it's a dick to start sometimes. Hot, cold, I always use middle click on the fast-idle (fake choke) then turn off immediately. But yeah, with the Cub that was definitely the issue. I used to have a Honda CB500, 1999 with carbs, and I never used the choke on that because it would make it start and run worse, even in Winter.

I bought a ratty old Honda 50 in 1980 for a tenner, it was road legal and I used it every day for work and sometimes at weekends, it started every time on the first or second kick, I never cleaned it, I never cleaned the plug or changed the oil, it wasn't covered up at night ( only the seat) but it run without any fault, the longest run I did on it was like a 100+ mile round trip, it was so much fun that I enjoyed every ride I did on it, I found it very relaxing to ride because it was quite slow, but because it had a dual seat I could use it as a generous single seat ( I was 6 ft back then) I sold it 18 months later for 40 pounds to a bloke doing the knowledge in London and he was delighted with it , he said it was the best and cheapest one he had seen.

They were a bit slow on the hills but climbed them all eventually and never broke down so whole family have a soft spot for them

My first bike - bought it for $50 in 1974 in Darwin, Australia. $50 was a fair reflectiin of it's condition but it was cheap to run and a surprisingly reliable way of getting the 20km to work each day. Next ride was a Kawasaki Z900 - "slightly" more powerful 😜. Now in my 70's, I still ride a Ducati Super Sport on sunny Sundays and also a Royal Enfield Himalayan for longer trips. Love the variety in your videos, many thanks for the entertainment and info.

Honda C50,70,90 / Cub - probably THE coolest bike ever made. Any biker whose been riding a long time will agree these little things are truly awesome. I ride a Triumph Speedy 1050 yet Id be very happy riding one of those around town. Hell, those things just keep going. Good reason they have been used as Round The World adventure bikes in past. I love the things. When I say they are coooool I mean it. By the way, that bike should be much easier to kick start. They usually just need a tame kick and leap into life. I suggest that one needs looking at. The bike you have there deserves to be looked after and cherished. A C90 should manage 50 mph quite easily on the flat and 60 mph downhill. Your bike seems timid, again a sign it needs looking at. Not wearing gloves not a good look I'm afraid. You should know better you naughty boy. Love what you do Freddie.

At 16, I had a C110, 50cc little bike with 4 speed box and a manual clutch. Not a lot different from the 50cc C100, the forerunner of the bike you are enjoying. Many years later, I regretted getting rid of it, as my daughter began to ride. I was fortunate to be given a couple of CB100s from which I built her a bike to learn on and pass her test.

If something goes wrong, in the nearest village there will be an uncle who can repair it in a few minutes.

I’ve never owned a C90 but I have had a C70, same bike just less power, really good little bikes, but as you mentioned about prices, since they are now a cult classic prices for one are now going up. You can buy one for around £1000/£1200, but yes if you want a really nice one with little or nothing to be done to it then yes £2000. Great review, thankyou.👍

Drove a C70 well into my adult years, never crapped out on me once. One time, i live in the van Gogh village in the Netherlands, a bus stopped next to me. Flashes going off, kid you not, Asian tourists started pulling out of it. By the time i was done posing for pictures with waisthigh adults, a traffic jam my village had never seen had formed. I quess they had never seen a White Giant 6.3 220 pounds with a little Jack Russell terriër in the pannier, riding a little red rocket. That little Giant took me everywhere. I ride a 2000 Transalp now, starts every first try, HONDA RULES.

The Cub name came later to the UK. In the 1970s and 80s they were just called the C90, there was also a C50 and C70. You could buy them super cheap, I had all three versions, commuted on them, off-roaded them (in the garden!). They were reliable, easy to maintain, and took lots of abuse. Earlier C90 was 89cc and good for 55mph. The key to kickstarting is to put the bike on the centre stand. You were trying to kick start off the stand, in which case some of the force just compresses the suspension and lurches the bike sideways rather than turning the engine. Should start first kick if set up right.

My first motorised vehicle was a 1971 Honda 50. Well my Dad owned it but let me use it from around 1974 when I was 15. I done some crazy stuff on that bike that I would not dream of doing even on my new BMW S1000RR today. I also have a Lifan E3 electric scooter for around town and its a dream compared to that Honda 50. Most annoying thing about those Honda's compared to modern scooters like my Lifan is that the leg shield does not protect your shoes so on wet days you always come home with waterlogged shoes.

Great video. A new super cub, £59 a month, 36p a week road tax and 180 to the gallon (5p a mile). Very cheap motoring, and alot less than the bus/rail.

The same economic circumstances that led to the Cub, moved the aircraft manufacturer, Mr Piaggio, to invent the Vespa (translated: Italian for “Wasp”).

@Freddie Dobbs Have you seen the guy that rode one of those from the very north of Alaska down the Dalton highway to the southern most part of Argentina?? Tok quite a long time, but it was great. Alaska to Argentina on a Honda 90 is what it is called.

They are surley amażing bike’s but from were I live they aren’t Wallet friendly. A c70 half rusted out will cost you almost €1000 euros, a fully restored one will cost you €3000. Yes some parts are cheap, like coils, spark plugs, clutch etc but some parts nowadays aren’t produced anymore, like the plastic front fairing of a C70 (round headlight) 1970-80 models, 5 yrs ago that part alone would cost you at least €300.

Got a fuel tap and kicking over 85cc is too much for you? Im sure a new CT125 trail would suit you and you wont get any dirt under your finger nails.
