Riding the Honda Super Cub. No background music. No talking. Some text.
I want to share my passion for 125cc touring (yes, it can be done) and get in touch with other fellow riders. My videos don't have any music on purpose, so you can listen to the motor and surroundings. My main area of riding is the border region of Germany, France and Switzerland. This is a hobby project: No product placements whatsoever on my part.

Honda Super Cub 125 - From Monaco to Nice (Cote d'Azur, France)
Today we're leaving Monaco and heading towards Nice, both in Cote d'Azur, Southern France. Wonderful weather, summer vibes. As usual, no music, no talking. Just environmental sounds and the occasional text comment. Enjoy! :-D
The Cote d'Azur in France is a very special place. Beautiful and very crowded in the summertime. It's a dream to cruise around that region on a humble Honda Super Cub.

Hallo und grüße aus der Pfalz.. schönes Video! Stehe auch kurz vor einer Kauf Entscheidung zwischen einer Honda Cub und einer Vespa GTS. Wie zufrieden bist du mit der Honda ? Für mich wäre sie für den Alltag bzw. weg zur Arbeit. Viele Grüße
Nice vdeo! Did you ride down to France all the way on the Super Cub? How are you dealing with luggage on the Cub? Cheers!
Hello, yes I rode down with the Cub, starting near Basel. I took the Grandes Alpes route, though. Put all my luggage in 2 bicycle saddle bags (bag holders needed) and a big topcase (unmounted the second seat and replaced it with the case plus mounting plate, all GIVI).
@yoshi125cc Interesting! where did you get the bag holders from? Thanks Amigo!
@christianbdk503 I got the saddle bag holders from webike Japan. You can find many more parts there and shipping is fast. Make sure to not use your main email address when ordering (newsletter you cannot unsubscribe from).
@yoshi125cc Thanks a lot! That's a huge selection over there. Could you maybe give me a hint what the model name of the bag holder is? Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any. Much appreciated!
Hey coole Videos... Ich will mir in 1-2 Jahren ein Roller holen, hänge zwischen Honda Cube und Vespa Gts 125. Wie sehr kannst du die Honda empfehlen? Bin 184 cm groß, und ist zum Pendeln gedacht. Wieviel km lauf Leistung hat so eine Honda ?
Danke für die Blumen. Mit 184cm unbedingt probefahren, finde sie mit 171cm schon etwas unbequem bei Fahrten >2 Std. Laufleistung? In einer Facebookgruppe hatte ein asiatischer Essenslieferant die 250.000 km geknackt...
Mooie omgeving, altijd veel plezier gehad op mijn C70 maar veel trillingen. De enige oplossing is een betere voorvork, of gewoon langzaam rijden. Is je voorwiel gebalanceerd, zit er speling op(lagers) bovenin speling?(Balhoofd iets strakker draaien). Beter door een monteur laten doen als je er geen ervaring mee hebt. En elke week je bandenspanning controleren! Veel rijplezier 😊 Ein alter Hobbybastler mit einer Transalp.
Well very nice driving but these mirrors are not corrected adjusted and you forgot the high beam durring the day to be more visible on this kind of driving to the mountains ,..!!!!
What makes you think the mirrors are not correctly set up? It's perfectly fine for me 🙂
Hallo, welches Topcase hast Du verbaut? Kann leider das angekündigte Video zum Zubehör nicht finden… LG
Hallo, das Video kommt noch! Beim Topcase handelt es sich um das Givi Trekker Outback 42 Liter. Zusätzlich wird die Givi Universal Adapterplatte für den Gepäckträger benötigt. Grundlage ist die graue Cub mit 2 Sitzen. Für die blaue/rote Cub mit einem Sitz ist folglich noch der zusätzliche originale Honda Gepäckträger notwendig. Gute Fahrt!
@ Danke für die schnelle Antwort! Überlege eine „Kiste“ von Aliexpress oder so zu kaufen. Das Trekker hab ich auf der Afrikatwin, ist mir aber fast zu teuer….. Und hin und her wechseln🤔🤨? LG
@manfredgabriel4109 Lässt sich doch problemlos in 5 Sekunden abnehmen? Zack auf das andere Moped drauf und weiter gehts! :)
@@yoshi125cc Ja, da hast Du absolut recht. Ich spiele mit dem Gedanken einen Halter für 1l (?) Reservekanister an einer Seite der Box zu montieren (Bohren), das will ich nicht am Trekker machen…. LG
Very nice and very clear Supercub
Very nice and very clear supercub
Lieber Yoshi, was für Befestigungsmaterial benötige ich um diesen Koffer auf meine einsitzige Super Cub zu montieren ? Danke für eine Antwort !
Hallo zurück! Man benötigt den originalen Honda Gepäckträger (welcher bei der 2-sitzigen Cub bereits vorhanden ist), dann noch die GIVI Adapterplatte für die Box (GIVI Trekker). Grüße
Great bike ❤
I agree! 🙂
Seven years ago, I was riding a Goldwing. Now I'm 82, sold it and bought a sweet and cute Super Cub - and I'm happy ! Thank you Yoshi for showing us that big tours can be done with such a nice little morotcycle - no need for 1000 lbs bikes - less is more !
Such a nice comment! Really made my day!
Yoshi How many kilometres per day do you drive usually when you traveling long distances with cub?
Hi, average total speed is around 40-50 km per hour. After 300 kms I'm totally finished 😀🙈
@@yoshi125cc Maybe if you put your phone mount at the left mirror, would be better. (No clutch, the ✋ is 🆓 ) . What type of mount is that?
It is from the brand SP Connect. Good quality, but expensive
anyone recognize mirror extensions(brand?)
Generic parts, easily to be found on eBay. A bit expensive for what it is, though.
The sort of ride I dream about stuck up here in the northeast uk! BTW. I've noticed you always ride on full headlight beam. Isn't that a bit annoying for the cars in front of you? Or is it a legal thing that bikes have to do on the continent? 😊
The high beams are for better visibility. I usually ride on bright sunny days and the Cub's headlights are not very bright. Saw this pro tip on someone else's UA-cam channel. It might be a bit selfish but it beats being run over 🙈
@yoshi125cc Ah! That makes sense.
The Super Cub is the one motorcycle that truly deserves the moniker..'SUPER'. Nothing else comes close to what that small little machine can achieve, size for size. 😊
Yes totally, the engine is bullet proof and super economical to run. Only cycling is cheaper, fuel-wise 😀
Hola soy un cubista en Barcelona España me gusts lo que haces pero un poco de gastronomia visita pueblos y musica seria genial gracias y que tengas mucha salud
I cant wait until I can do this with a Cub <3
Go for it! And don't forget your mini jerry can 😄
Hi, I traveled from Ireland across the uk to south Belgium on my cub 125. Toured the Ardennes some of Holland ,Scotland and home ,couldn’t have been happier on the cub well most of the time. Great video!
Thanks for sharing! A bucket list item of mine would be to travel to the southernmost part of Europe one day 🙂
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing! My favorite part (aside from the view) was the humps :D
Thanks and happy travels!
So I'm a new viewer but a long time Honda Trail 90 and Cub owner and rider, and I'm loving your content. Here's an odd request, could you give the route or motorway numbers of your trips so I can explore these in FlightGear's Open Street Map street environment? I've made some physics modeling and 3D content to put virtual motorcycles and scooters into FlightGear. And I'm trying to do your Grande Alpes tour on my Yamaha YG-1 FlightGear motorcycle. I've survived the first part from Thonon Les Baines to Les Saises part. Sometimes the 3D modeling of the roads gets a little more like a Superdome MX track and less like roads. Part of the fun is there's no tunnels yet so I have to reposition the bike on the other side of the tunnel. Thanks again for your time to post these videos.
Thanks for your comment! Providing the GPX tracks is one of my priorities. I'm going to start creating them soon.
Schön zu sehen das es weiter geht!!!👍
Danke für deinen Kommentar, hat mich gefreut :-)
Let me be your 200th sub! Well done mate
Thank you so much. There will be more videos very soon!
Hello my friend, I have a question, would you suggest to someone that want to make the same trip in the Alps, to change the standard sprockets in order to climb easier or it is not necessary? Thank you in advance 👍
Hi! While the Cub might be rather slow in steep uphill climbing, it never had difficulties. You absolutely don't need to change sprockets. Keep it in its original configuration. Nice travels!
@yoshi125cc thank you!
I was the same. So I bought a FuelFriend 2.0 Litre Jerrycan and kept it in my topbox. I haven't used it since I filled it and it makes everything in box smelly.😀
Good job friend. Can you tell us how tall you are.. And: Are you comfortable on the cub?
Hi, I am 170cm, 75cm inseam length. Bike fits perfectly, but being taller would be suboptimal. It really is a smaller bike I think.
How does the right bag stand with the temperature of the exhaust?
No issues at all
Loving the trip content so far, I'm on episode 2. I own a 1969 Honda Supercub C-102, the old pushrod 50 cc engined bike. I've remotored it with a pitbike 125cc 4 speed with manual clutch engine. Just over 17K miles on this bike. Not quite as plush riding as the new Cub, as the pitbike engine is apt to push it along at speeds it's brakes are barely safe for. It will do an easy 40 to 45 mph cruise.
Thanks for this series, just finished the final one! I found this section a bit hard work in honesty, particularly east of Beuil and around the Col de Turini, I was crying out for some more open roads. That said on a much smaller, lighter bike like the 125 I reckon it makes far more sense. If people are finding it too much a brilliant route is to head south from Beuil, the road is wonderfully smooth and sweep and you run through a mini canyon of unusual red rock. Thanks again!
I think this is one of my favourite sections of the route too, the Mercantour National Park is so quiet and i love the way you criss cross over the river. It is slow going though and anyone wanting a faster route south might want to consider the Col De la Bonnette and rejoining around Saint-Sauveur-sur-Tinée
If you have the time you can detour left at Jausiers, 41:00 , and climb up to the Col de la Bonnette which if you include the Cime de la Bonnette is the highest paved through road at 2860m. You can then either carry on and pick up the route further south or I'd recommend retracing your steps to Jausiers to go to Barcelonnette so you can do the beautiful Col de la Cayolle section.
I love the little place at 19:25 just to the left there's a loo for a quick break and the air is just so clean and fresh, a babbling stream goes under the road too. Idyllic!
Lovely scenery indeed!
Another quick question if i may, do you live in France and if not what route did you use to get down to Thonon? Again thanks for the series, tempted to do something similar on my PCX for fun content on my own channel. :) Subbed.
Hello, no I don't live in France but right at the border in Germany. I departed from Weil am Rhein and took the Route straight through the Chasseral Natural Park (on a bad weather day...). Once I was done with that, I took the national road #1 in Switzerland from Murten to Lausanne. From there clockwise around lake Geneva to Thonon :-)
@@yoshi125cc That's brilliant, thanks for sharing and for the series of video, great format :) Jon.
My all time favourite route, thanks for taking the trouble to do it justice rather than just showing just very brief highlights in one 20 min video.
Excellent video thanks for sharing, the Cub is a beautiful bike. It struggles on the hills you would probably not want to be on a main road, still it's amazing what you can do with 9 Hp, excellent for exploring the countryside. I only recently got into motorcycling, currently on a 2007 Tmax 500, great for exploring and has all the power one could ever need even for hills and I love the storage under the seat, I would also love the Cub 125. I would never pay new price for a tmax though they are very over priced but I got mine for 1700 Euro. 80,000 kms. I wish Honda would give the Cub a more traditional analogue clock with analogue fuel gauge and analogue clock, it would really make it look great, from the video it's impossible to see the speedo.
Nice on board 👍
Hello, merci pour les vidéos. J’ai également un cub et je suis sur Genève
You live in Lörrach? That's an ideal starting point for great Cub trips to the south! Lörrach to Milan is just about 340 km, which I can easily cover in one day with my Cub. Ticino, Lake Como, the Aosta Valley - all of these are right on your doorstep. These are all great trips from Friday to Sunday. Enviable! I did a ride from Frankfurt to San Remo and back with my Cub in early June, from Saturday to Thursday. In between, I took the train (Autoverlad) from Kandersteg to Goppenstein and then over the Simplon Pass. Great trip! I'm looking forward to see more of your trips!
Yes I live in a suburb of Lörrach. It really is a nice starting point, esp. if you are into Alps riding. Lake Como is also on my to do list. But the trip I am most looking forward is the desert of Tabernas, unfortunately quite far away. Maybe iron butting one day. How do you manage the height of the Cub's handlebar? I found it challenging after a few hours, despite being a rather small dude... Cheers!
@@yoshi125cc For me, the entire Cub is a bit too small; I am 1.85 meters tall. Just to see the speedometer, I have to lower my head so far that I can't see the road anymore. But keeping an eye on the speedometer is especially important in Switzerland, where I paid 200 euros for being 6 km/h over the limit! There are certainly more comfortable scooters, but for me, the Cub is the optimal scooter overall - the design, the shifting, the handling, the engine sound. What I love about your videos is that you can hear the pure engine sound so well. And long distances eventually become exhausting on most scooters.
stunning ride!
spectacular scenery -- and what an adventure on the Cub!
Hi! Great on board videos and places! .. As an experienced cub owner, can you tell us in witch aspects Honda super cub does better in touring.. than the usual 125s ??? (Like Astrea Supra , astrea grand, Yamaha crypton etc ..)
Hi there! I can't speak for the models you mentioned, but a huge advantage of the new Super Cub is the availability of parts like the saddle bag holders and the possibility to remove the second passenger seat to attach a big topcase. A lot of room to carry stuff on longer tours! Greetings from Germany

Absolutely. One should always acknowledge the primary use case of driving around busy Asian cities...
Nice ride and love the honda cub 👍
Beautiful riding record indeed, and enough evidence for Taiwanese Traffic bureaucratic to see what a good organized road could be in coast side, good road payment, fine road line , road side parking design. ps: Taiwan’s road and traffic design is notorious. Year killed around 3000 (die in 24h after the accident)
Hi! Why, are the coastal roads in Taiwan so problematic? By design or driving culture? Cheers!
Nice Video! Always good to see some Cubs cruising around :) How do you recognize the engine sound of the Super Cub 125? Is it quiet/loud? I am driving the Honda Innova - which kind of is the predecessor of the Super Cub - and I get annoyed by just the Loudness of the engine. Cheers!
Hello! I think my Cub vibrates quite a bit, especially around 70 kmh. My former scooter, a Honda Vision 110, was more "smooth". I know, comparing apples with oranges...
Ik zou hem iets hoger in de toeren rijden !
Today, I do. 70 kmh in 3rd gear uphill.
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful coastal ride. Proving, once again, 8HP is more than enough to conquer the worlds most gorgeous roads. Thanks again.
Brilliant, looking forward to this. Super Cubs are great affordable transport and touring bikes.👍
