But they're bringing them back here... :2thumbs:

There were/are MORE Honda Super Cubs manufactured that ANY other vehicle in the world. Glad to see Honda bring them back to our market. They were great vehicles for students and others just looking for inexpensive local transportation. And.....over 100MPG

I own a 1962 c100. The fairing has gone missing. Hasn't run for many years, but I bet that with a fresh battery, an oil change, and some fresh gasoline, It'd start on the 3rd kick.

 

[Bob Denman]

Go fire it up, and take a lap or three around the yard! :thumbup:

 

[Chupaca]

It is good news....

They were the biggest sellers back home. I used to stock cylinders piston rings and gasket sets for a quick top end job. Could have one in and out in 30 mins. They will run forever...:thumbup:

Second bike I owned after a Cushman Eagle, which actually should have been called a Cushman Dog.

 

[ARtraveler]

Very interesting. May get a lot of people riding for the first time.

I seized the piston on my Yamaha 80 so am going to stay away from those "little" guys.

I had one very similar, a 1955. It had a down low exhaust which I changed to the one yours had. Mine didn't have the enclosed front fork. I see yours had a front shock suspension. Mine had trailing spring linkages. 40 - 45 mph tops! The 50cc Honda Cub killed Cushman motor scooters. A couple of my buddies who were brothers, had them. Probably some of the very first ones sold in Idaho. That was back about 1960. They could run circles around me every which way.

This one looks almost exactly like the one I had, even the color!

My buddy told me years ago the crankshaft was pressed together pieces and the connecting rod was a solid circle around the crank. You couldn't replace the piston, just the entire piston/crank assembly.

A video I found about it, and another new model for 2019...
