Dude, I ❤ your energy! I am 100% new to all this and I appreciate your reviews
The Cub was my first motorcycle, 1965 model with a 50cc engine. By 1967, I was delivering 180 newspapers before class in the seventh grade. I abused this bike, and it took the abuse very well. I traded up to a Honda CL-90 Scrambler in the Summer of 1968. The Cub gave me a life time of memories at a tender young age.
That's awesome. I love that! Thanks for watching.
I bought mine new in ‘21 and I freaking love it. I have other bikes for different purposes. I’m 63 years old and have been riding since I was 12 years old and I’m 6’ 210 pounds and look absolutely ridiculous on it but absolutely no fucks given because it’s a blast to ride to the beach and ride the coast from Oceanside to Imperial Beach. Stopping for lunch along the way. A few more ponies would be nice to haul my carcass up some of these hills we have and not revving its guts out in 3rd gear. Having said that, screw it let the cagers go around😂 This little 125 easily keeps up with traffic on surface streets even with me on it. Mine is bone stock and I plan on leaving it that way. Only have 2,700 miles on it and it’s in pristine condition. It really is a functional, practical work of art and an almost do it all motorcycle. Good video! Enjoy the Cub👍👊
I couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Same Tom. I bought one for my wife but find myself regularly using it to pick up stuff from the store. Gets way more looks than a common Indian or Harley.
No one looks ridiculous on two wheels! Cubs are forever cool! RIDE ON!!!
I have a 2021. (red like in the video) Great urban bike. I live in a small town outside a larger city. Everything is within 3 miles. Grocery, restaurants, govt offices, banks, haircuts...etc. Speed limit never gets above 35mph. It's great for zipping around town. If you want to consistently ride over 45mph for longer distances/times, this is not your machine. It WILL hit 55mph (flat road with no wind), but it's not optimized for that kind of riding.
I agree completely. Thanks for watching!
65*
A windscreen will help increase efficiency and top speed.
The semi automatic transmission was developed in the late 50s for noodle delivery riders they would ride one handed with noodles in a basket in one hand so could not have a clutch so honda developed the semi automatic
I love your enthusiasm for small bikes , which I share!
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed!
In todays world I think the economy being around 100 plus to the gallon is wonderful , I had a work mate who used one for getting around on in the early 70s , it never let him down and he used it all weathers even in the winter , great little bike , I'm now thinking of one myself in the near future just for fun 👍 great video thanks,
It just makes so much sense.
This bike is so cute. It’s like the lolly of motorcycles. I’m definitely gonna get me one of those.
Number 1 reason-- it was and is a great motorcycle for utility and fun use, urban style.
Supercubrider from IG here. Great review. I love riding my Super Cub.
Thank you for such an enthusiastic review that highlighted some points I was not aware of, in particular the tubeless tyres, that's a big deal for me who intends touring on a Honda Cub.
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you found it helpful.
Props to you, thanks for sharing. I agree on all fronts. It would be lovely to see Honda give the US market a serious marketing campaign around their 125s. Here in nyc, where they make so much sense, dealers get zero bikes and I think I’ve seen maybe 2 people on Supercubs other than myself. I own a RE Himalayan, which just isn’t practical for a lot of would-be riders. The Supercub is my prized favorite, and makes commuting fun. So many people here could benefit from knowing about these bikes AND being able to purchase them. Keep up the great content!
Thanks for the video. I'm Japan-based and got mine last week. Totally love it.
Is yours a Super Cub 110?
Great review! Well done!
Thanks for watching!
Fun video - thanks! I have a 2019 Super Cub, now with 18k miles on it. I haven't been on a T125 yet.
Thanks for watching. I'm stoked you have so many miles on yours!
A really good review by a guy who seems to live on small bikes. Great review
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
Great review and tutorial.
Thanks for watching!
I love your reviews 💯; shout out from New Orleans, Louisiana 👍🏽
Thanks! More coming soon!
I am very interested in this bike .... the big problem in my city is finding one at a dealership.
I feel like several dealership just aren't stocking them, and the ones that are can't keep them in stock because of the strong demand.
Currently having the samr issue.😂
Great information! Appreciate it.
Thanks for watching! More Super Cub content is coming soon.
Great reviews of the Cub and Trail 125’s, they are both iconic machines and a major part of motorcycle history. In an ideal world, I would be like you and have both but when having to chose, for me I think it’s the Trail. Mainly because it has more of a rarity value and is more easily customized with a wide range of accessories.
Thank you for watching the videos. I truly love the bikes. Glad you dig them too.
you have the goods nice job love the cub People dont even know !!
I have a 2020 SuperCub and I love it. It always puts a smile on my face
Thanks for watching. Glad you are enjoying the bike too!
Awesome channel, how have I missed you before! Subscribed!
I'm very close so doing something crazy and selling my CBF600 and getting a Supercub! My only concerns are stability (as I'm 6'2" and 200lb) and other folk tailgating you! Oh and I heard the brakes aren't great... 😅
I traded in a 2020 Triumph Bobber for my Trail 125, so you are in the right place 😅. Stability will be fine. I'm 5'11 185lbs, not very far off from ya. The front brake is totally fine. The rear is definitely a pretty mushy drum brake.
Good review thank you
Thanks for watching. I appreciate you.
Amazing review, subbed instantly
Thank you so much!
Love your vibe. Smashing looking bike. Very informative.
Thanks for the kind words. If you subscribed, more videos on this bike are coming soon 👌
@@Dailycozwerks done!
Nice review
Good video and informative.
As for EV's. why unless you only ride 20 miles. The gas sipping Cub you can ride and ride all you want.
I have the same Cub coming in two weeks. It’ll be my second Cub. I had the blue one with a red seat but sold it when I passed my test. Regretted it as it was a fun & frugal machine. So soon I’ll have my Cub again along with my K2 Suzuki GSXR1000. Yin & Yan personified. 🤓
Good review man, I'm waiting to pull the trigger on one of the cubs, will Europe get the original colours back anytime soon ? last few years we only have the metallic black.. it will go along side my benelli tnt 😅😂 small bikes are the best full😅😅I'm only back riding two years but iv no interest in big ccs anymore.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the support. As far as I know, the color will change annually as the new model years roll out. Eventually we'll all be able to tell what year a bike is by its color.
Are these available now? Still have a 83 trail bike.
Thank you for the great review. I am still thinking about whether to buy the Super Cup or the Rebel 300 (or the Navi)? I am leaning towards the Rebel 300 because it may be better on short highway stints than the Super Cup. But I don't know.
Thanks for watching. I do plan to get my hands on a Navi soon for a full review, but until then, I can't really speak on it. The Rebel 300, however, is really great. If you also have a car, I would likely go Super Cub. If you don't have a car, I would probably go with the Rebel 300 for the hwy reason you listed. If you subscribed, Navi content should be coming soon!
@@Dailycozwerks
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. I am grateful.
What did you buy?
@@PumaM90
I bought the Super Cop. I am very satisfied with the Super Cup.
I used to have 2) Tomos mopeds in mint condition. Tiered of no dampers on suspension. Jay Leno reviewed 2019 C125abs. Dealers said 50% down w/3yr wait. Googled "pre-order c125" and Orem Powersports popped up. Called dealer & was told they had two on the floor. Had it that night. Owned many motorcycles & this is my favorite. Purchased July of 2020 new & have almost 6k miles on it. Most fun with kick stand, Kajima bag frames, luggage rack and Chase Harper Aero3500 bags. Added magnetic drain plug @300mi's. Was riding with Utah Jazz Bear up State Street, he on his Harley in full costume and me on my Cub, kinda' fitting.
I don't think the CT125 rear wheel will swap-out for the C125 because trail has a rear disc brake.
Glad you scored a bike and are enjoying it. Thank you so much for watching!
The front works, the rear does not. There are several full wheelset options on the market luckily though. I have purchased a set, but that reveal won't be for a bit.
Thanks
I got mine last week an love it! Is the gear shifter on your bike standard? I'm Japan-based, and mine is different.
Its the standard shifter on American versions of the bike. Thanks for watching.
@@Dailycozwerks In Europe, to go up through the gears, you press down with your toe, and heel down it to change down. Why Honda have two ways to change gear seems bizarre to me. I guess you just get used to whatever gear change you have.
Do you think this bike is powerful enough to get around a suburban environment (4-5 lane roads/45-50 MPH)? I am also looking at the Monkey and Grom. Thank you
Of those bikes, I would choose the Super Cub if I was in your area. The Monkey feels more toy-ish. The Grom is great, but I like the bigger wheels of the Super Cub at speed. The Grom does have a manual clutch, though, so that may be something you'd like. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate your support.
In most US suburbs the Cub would be a fine choice IMHO. It LOOKS like a scooter and ACTS like a motorcycle. (it's really a motorcycle with scooter "styling cues".) It's not a port bike, but a fine commuter for city/suburb duties. That's what it's made for. The semi auto is a PLUS in this use case.
Pushing it IMO. Better for speeds 40mph and below. I live on an island in Thailand. It's ok here, plus I'll add a160cc bike to the line up.
Love my super cub!
I also love your Super Cub 😋. Thanks for watching.
The SuperCub is probably an awesome bike if you live inside a city and just need to get around in that city. I've always wanted a used one.
They just never took off in the US because the laws are prohibitive against mopeds by treating them as motorcycles, and the distances are so wide. You can't find used ones cheap.
If you live in the country, the lack of a 55mph top speed and cargo carry capacity becomes problematic. 95% of the use of my three other Honda motorcycles is to haul groceries, so if you can't haul groceries with it, it's useless. With the Supercub I'd add a big plastic file crate cargo box on the back, a basket on the front, and/or wear a backpack.
I wouldn't buy the new one, not because it's bad, but because it's wayyyyy over priced. For the same price, you can get a high end nice used actual motorcycle. I mean, Honda is asking 4000 for that. I bought a 2008 Honda Shadow Spirit 750cc recently... cherry mint almost and mostly well kept... it looks like a brand new bike... for 1900. Granted, original list price someone paid once upon a time for it was 8000. That thing will tear up an interstate. If you buy a new bike off the showroom floor, expect to be fleeced, or if you still do, keep it indoors and treat it like a diamond classic car polishing it like a diaper like Camron's dad in Ferris Buellers day off... because you paid a premium penny to get golden brand new.
I want to buy a 2024 , however, no dealer can order any. What's up with that? How and where can I get one?
It can definitely be tricky. I'm not sure where you live, but I have had success calling dealerships in more rural areas. They tend to be the ones randomly sitting on inventory. There's a manufacturing shortage, though, so if they don't already have one, them getting isn't really possible.
I dig the very CONCEPT that is the Cub. It blurs the line between "Scooter" and "Motorcycle" perfecty. Cubs will never NOT be COOL! 👍😎👍
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.
I'd have gotten this or the Trail, but...well, Honda would actually have to ship them to dealers, lol. Ended up just grabbing a Navi in the meantime.
I actually bought a 2022 Grom while I waited for a Trail to pop-up at a dealer. Took about 8 months to secure one 😅
One thing I don't like about Honda is that they don't offer all the models in different country's. I live in Panama where they only offer a couple of basic small engine models. The SuperCub unfortunately is not offered. What is offered is much cheaper in price though.
The grass is always greener right? Here in the US, we are often lusting over models that are only available in Europe.
So sad they dont sell the trail in europe😢
Wife got me 2021 brand new Cub...save so much gas...but only ride from May to October...
This one still requires a motorcycle license, correct?
Yeah, it does.
Beat bike I ever brought and for those who say get a big bike you don't need one everyone says to me get a big bike but the speed limit around me is 30mph so if you on a big bike or this one your still doing 30mph but using less petrol
Like with cars, It's more fun to ride a slow bike FAST than to ride a fast bike SLOW. You get a HELL of an adrenaline rush cranking little bikes! Due to their size/weight you can get Huyabusa "kicks" from these lil' bastards while keeping legal if you're doing it right. Makes commuting a blast, not a chore! It's like .22 LR shooting. Who knew so much fun can be had for so little??! Everyone (even those use to much bigger displacement bikes) NEEDS to check out the small bikes of today! P.S. My first car (1963 Cadillac- in 1982 it was not a "classic", just an elderly used car, LOL) Got 8 MPG, Yep EIGHT. So yeah on COULD reliably 14 Super Cubs for ONE 1963 Cadillac! LOL.
Why not in Canada. Love the Honda Trail 125, and would be great to have the Honda Cub 125 for the wet days or the days you are dressed up. the one thing that would be nice on it is a wind shield. It has leg protection so why not upper body as well. A second small bike would be great if a friend came over and we could hit the road together bough on a separate ride. Do not want two the same, but a Trail and a Cub would be great, COME ON HONDA BRING THE CUB TO CANADA.
My thoughts are: maybe due to the winter....no place for a little bike with those amounts of snow and ice!
I love my 2022 super cub. The seat could be better though.
I have heard similar feelings from a lot of people. I don't mind it, but I may upgrade it just because there are so many cool aftermarket ones available. Thanks for watching.
@@Dailycozwerks which seats are you looking at for the after market ones?
i want to buy one, but its over priced.....in asia there are 125cc honda bikes that are less than $2k
A lot of the cost is due to how much tech they put into it. It actually has a factory alarm system.
@DailyCozwerks the price due to import taxes and dealer markup. 50% less in Thailand.
Dandy looking bikes I'll admit! But the cost is far too high in my opinion, with respect. I live in the Philippines and they run ₱182,000.00 for one. For that kind of money you can buy a set of matching 2023 honda Clicks for ₱164,000.00 and have pleanty left for lunch. And the Click also is a 125cc and much more substantial and safer looking. Again with respect, find a way to knock the price down on them to 1,200.00 usd or ₱80,000.00 range and you'd have more interest. Remember, it all comes down to price. Good 👍 luck!
Half that price in Thailand. Plus, Thailand has dedicated Super Cub stores.
I wish the cub came with classic looking wire wheels 😄
It's probably pretty easy to swap the ones from the Trail 125 over. You would also gain a rear disc break.
Самый лучший HONDA SUPER CAB -90 на все времена!
Royal Enfield Classic 350 100 mpg ,take a look!
But 100 is a lot less, and I already own this bike, ya silly goose.
You must be in sales lol
😅😅
I love Honda's minmotos; the Super Cub, Monkey, Navi, Grom, but they have some very ugly scooters-if I go scooter, it will be Piaggio. It needs a back luggage rack.
