  • Debuting in 1958, the Honda Super Cub is the most sold vehicle in the world of all time, and we got our hands on one to see why everybody loves this little machine so much. This extremely reliable and problem free design has such a beautiful appearance. It is the most unique looking new bike on the market, while staying true to it's classic looks of when it was first released. With modern features like fuel injection, abs brakes, led lights, and a digital display with fuel gauge, this little 125 cc gives you all the new features you could want. Fuel mpg is well over 100mpg, giving this scooter great range with such a small tank capacity. We go over the features, some specs, and of coarse take this thing for a ride, and it is the best time we've had in a long while. Hear the exhaust, feel the 9 horsepower, and take in the groovy looks as we test the capabilities and top speed of the mighty cub with it's 4 speed clutchless transmission. Comment with any questions, enjoy!

    Great bike! The 188 mpg is misleading as that number is based on a larger, UK Imperial gallon. US gallons are smaller. I consistently get ~128-132 MGP (US gallons), which gives me so much joy! I've added a kick stand, pillion seat/pegs and a top box to mine, and as such, there's nothing better to run local errands, commute 12 miles to work, or buzz around smaller country roads just for fun with.

    It is not clutch less. In fact, it has 4 clutches all of which work in different ways. It has the regular clutch which disengages the gears when the shift lever is pressed and re-engages when the shifter is released. It has a sprag clutch that keeps the gears engaged when going down hill or letting off the gas to allow engine braking. Third clutch is a centrifugal clutch that will keep the bike from moving forward when idling. It will engage the gears when revs go above 900rpm. Fourth clutch is a slipper clutch that allows the bike to be in any gear at an speed without freezing the rear tire. It also allows the bike to move forward in any gear from zero miles per hour.

    Nice review thanks. 👍 I challenge anyone to get off one of these things without a smile on their face. You will get a few more mph from the bike as it loosens up, I regularly see 110kmh on mine. Here in Australia they come with the side stand as well as centre stand, and also the luggage rack. They don't have the kill switch and have the original euro spec lighting which IMO looks better. Best mileage I've seen is 1.4 l/100 km which is 200 mpg imperial and 168 mpg US.

    Brilliant review, Sir! Adored it. I’ve had two Symbas which ride synonymously.
    They both reached (my weight and height only slightly more than yours) 69mph max speed (unladen weight, level ground, no crosswinds) with factory specs for the Symba 110cc showing a 56mph max. The Cub has a 65mph factory max, but you may be able to squeeze more out of them, even w/no modification. The Symba, no longer made after 2017 or so, was confused for a “knock off” of the Cub, yet wasn’t. It was slightly different in superficial design, but was operated by Honda in Taiwan : Honda sought a building in Taiwan to use to reproduce a version of the Cub that intentionally wasn’t quite recognisable as a Cub and by law had to change its name - this move was to sell more bikes abroad by avoiding tariffs that Taiwan did not force the manufacturer to pay. The SYM company had made a totally different product prior, but Honda chose its location as the best locale in which to open an offshore Cub plant - Symba, legally licensed by the Honda company. I’ll be buying a Cub ASAP, but am cautious of the new plug n play modern advancements which allow the government to control the navigation remotely, whether to shut the driver down or to run him into a flag pole. (Article links for remote signal navigation abound, culminating in fiery deaths. A big can of worms, that topic.)

    You will not get anywhere near 125 per gallon on a super cub, I owned one and you might get 100 if you’re not nailing the throttle all day.. still, it does get excellent mileage. I had to laugh every time I pulled up to the pump to fill up. Oh!? Only $3.00 dollars? 😝

  • @jackvoss5841
    @jackvoss5841 8 днів тому

    188 miles per gallon is pure BS. 188 KILOMETERS per gallon - maybe. I’ve ridden way too many miles on Honda Cubs and Super Cubs to buy that claim.
    I putt around on my 125cc Super Cub, on back country roads at 30mph+-5mph. Sometimes, I have to do 40mph because of traffic. I usually pull over to let them by. 110-120mpg often, not always. I use recreational fuel, not unleaded with alcohol, so my mileage is higher than what it would be with regular fuel.

    63 years ago I owned and rode this bike’s great granddaddy. It was a 50cc engine, and MUCH less complicated. This one goes faster, and has a crummier luggage rack. Self starter is totally unnecessary, as is the electronic key. Could be 5 pounds lighter and $150 cheaper.
    Electronic ignition and throttle body fuel injection are good steps forward. So are solid wheels and tubeless tires. But, having to wait 3-5 minutes after engine shutdown to scrunch down to see oil level in an itsy bitsy little sight glass is NOT a step forward. Add a dipstick, and rejoin the 20th century. Neither is tearing apart the crankcase to clean oil filters at oil change. Correct that and join the 21st century.
    Those engineers have their heads up and locked. Mr. Honda San would tell them to correct their errors, then tell them to go work for General Motors.

      It's definitely not a scooter, but most people(I'm in the US) call it a scooter. Then again, most people think it's a "Vespa or something". Young kids call it a motorcycle when they see it, and old folks all call it a Cub 50. It really is a special bike. It can be a motorcycle when you need it to, and yet, you can get away with putting in in a bicycle rack or riding on the side of the road.
