2019 HONDA C125 SUPER CUB
FIRST REVIEW
P94
with two seats, but not in the
U.S.).
That little nuance aside, the
Super Cub is one of those mo-
torcycles you indeed can't help
but have fun on. You won't be
taking this thing on the freeway,
simply because the highest top
speed I saw was about 59 mph,
so that means the Super Cub is
all about slowing down, enjoying
the scenery and the ride.
You don't get to 100,000,000
units sold if the design isn't
sound, and it's good to see
Honda has hardly messed with
the original design. I can't help
but think the Super Cub platform
would provide the perfect basis
for an electric motorcycle, and
when I bought that up with the
masterminds at America Honda,
I got a wry smile.
That's an discussion for an-
other day. Right now, the Super
Cub is back, and we are all the
better for it. CN
Honda claims
over 100 miles
from a single
gallon of gas
with the Super
Cub. Not bad.
