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 Menton to Monaco (Cote d'Azur, France)
My short journey from Menton to Monaco. Beaches, palm trees, sunny weather ... and tunnels! :-)
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. Enjoy!

Honda Super Cub 125 (2023) - 1-minute-dash
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.👍
Hi I have the same bike as you but I have this problem.Do you have any idea what it might be? czcams.com/video/_JbHslRSero/video.htmlfeature=shared
Hi! I have just seen your comment now. I have the same noise but not as loud as yours. Service will soon be due and I am going to ask the mechanic about this noise. I will let you know when I know more. Bye
Thanks for sharing your trip, great bike to adventure on, probably better than a big bike to go round the alpes on. Would you recommend the mirror extensions, do they make a big difference? Many thanks.
Hi, much appreciated! The mirror extension definitely make a big difference. Without them, the mirrors are almost useless and I already am small and slim... got the extensions from a German shop. You might get on ebay.com. Cheers!
Thanks for your reply, I will order some and hopefully see what's behind me, LOL
I live in St Martin vesubie, and I agree, I love the blend between mountain and mediterranean cultures and architecture, it's gorgeous! Thank you for visiting our region, and thanks for this video :)
A really beautiful place you live in! Do you have lots of snow in the winter? Regards from Lörrach, Germany!
@@yoshi125cc The last three weeks have been amazing regarding the amount of snow : two meters in 5 days at around 2500m :D The ski resorts (Valberg and La colmiane at Col st martin) you went by have been extremely busy and lively recently. But I won't lie to you, the early winter haven't been that way, although there was still snow on summits! obviously :) Anyway, thank you very much for enjoying our region, it is everything to me that somebody can smile thanks to its beauty!
Lange drauf gewartet, jetzt ist der letzte Teil endlich online. Super Video, tolle Landschaft mit ockerfarbenen Dörfern - diese Tour will ich mit meiner Super Cub unbedingt auch mal fahren. Ich finde den Originalsound super, wie machst Du das, ohne dass die Windgeräusche überlagern und stören?
Habe mich über den Kommentar gefreut. Hätte nicht gedacht, dass jemand auf die restlichen Videos wartet :-) Das motiviert mich weitere Videos zu veröffentlichen! Die Soundqualität ist ab Werk von der GoPro9. Die hat eine automatische Rauschunterdrückung. Kann man auch deaktivieren. VG
Vielen Dank das Du uns mit auf deine Reise genommen hast!! Schöne Tour, klasse Gegend und wundervolle Bilder!!!👍🤙
Vielen Dank! Die Tour muss man echt mal gemacht haben, 125cc reichen tatsächlich aus :-)
🎉 looks kool to me ! 🎉
Thanks! :-)
Thanks for showing what a great travel bike these Super Cubs are. A friend has just taken his to the Elephant Rally from the UK and it was fine for the distance and so cheap to fuel.
Yes totally, many riders are obsessed with power an HP, makes zero sense, can only do 100km/h on country roads anyway. Relaxed riding is the way to go :-)
Hi Yoshi, I’m Yoshi too :)
Many Yoshis in the world :-)
Hello Yoshi 125cc, first of all, thank you very much for your series, which I have been looking at. Partly because of your films, I also bought a new super cub, but only to get to my workplace. I cycled part of the route you covered years ago on my touring bike, specifically the Cormet de Roselend and the Co de Turini. I even recognized some parts of your tour 😀. But how did you make it back home from Menton? That's 630 km on the direct route, and you don't just ride it in one go... -- Markus
Hi Markus, I did 2 stopovers on my journey from Menton to Lörrach: First one was in Gap (worth a visit, nice town!) and second one was in Bourg en Bresse (not really interesting in my opinion).
Will you please let me know were I can find your mirror base extensions. Many thanks.

Another enjoyable ride. I wish I had been riding my Super Cub 125 with you.. no mountains or snow here in central Florida.. LOL
Just give me a call when you happen to be in Europe, we can ride together :-) But hey, in Florida you probably can ride the whole year round without freezing to death? In Germany, the best time is from May to October.
@@yoshi125cc I think our best chance of riding together is for you to visit Florida. You can ride one of my Super Cubs as I still have two of them.. I rode one of the Motocompactos today at lunch.. a bitterly cold 18 C (65 F) ride..

Such beautiful scenery. Truly hope I can get back to that area someday. Thank you for posting.
It's really beautiful there. Which part of the world do you live? Bye
@@yoshi125cc We are on the west coast of the US in Oregon. We have some beautiful roads here as well, but they do not quite match the awe inspiring feeling of the Alps.

That was excellent. Cheers
