This is my bike!! I totally bought this from your shop a month or two ago and I absolutely love it😁
C90 Adventures on CZcams has taken these bikes around the world. One of the best channels on the tube.
@@professorvoluck9311 sweet! I'll totally check them out😁
How much$2,995 is what it should be. I am sure a Dealer adds Freight, $295 putting it togeter (30 miutes) $290 + Lic, title, registration & tac $425 total $1,010.total $4,025

@@alancharlap9812 Huh? The MSRP is $3749 brand new.
What I love about this guy is how there's never even a hint of snobbery to him. He doesn't care what the vehicle is as long as it has two wheels or sometimes even three. He sees the purpose is every single one of them. Him and MissendenFlyer are the best motorcycle reviewers on youtube.
And I’m tall
@@Srkcycles and with the a rocking beard
They sell bikes, it would be bad business to talk down about them.
@@Srkcycles You're the same height as me. But with a cooler beard.
@@pleasedontwatchthese9593 True but you can always tell that he really does just enjoy riding whatever he's given.
“My wife knows how to ride..but she’s always pregnant...” rewound 3 times rofl
shes gonna love hearing that one lol
Well they have a good marriage xd
@Michael's Production's Yo chill
always pregnant... because they are Mormon?
What a savage, lol
It's great to see the small cc motorcycles and mopeds making a comeback.
Scooters yes, but no one is making mopeds anymore.
@@wickedcoolname399 well there are quite alot of 125cc motorcycles to choose from, atleast in the indian(Asian) and European market
Spurred on by people who have e-bikes but want more power and range.
I don't think they ever went away.
LOOKS LIKE A PAPPA TUNTURI
“When im 18 im so out of here”😂😂
I am in my 70s and as son as I am 18 again and its 1969 I am coming too ...far out...loved that comment.
@@ralphchristianson at what age are we allowed to go back. Asking for a friend
My uncle back in the 60's rode a Honda 50 from Springfield MO to Baton Rouge LA. Just over 550 miles. He said it took him 3 days to do it and my grand parents had a cow when they found out about it.
easy rider'
That is hilarious and proof they rock!
The stuff of legend these Cubs.
Back in the 70s every house in Ireland had a few Honda 50s. Affordable motoring, that's what we could afford.
Times have changed now most homes have 2 Audis or something similar.
The Nifty Fifty, a rare sight on the roads now.
PCP has made people buy much more expensive cars than they could otherwise afford, very few cars would be new today with the cost of living and tax. PCP makes People ignore the big balloon at the end and when faced with it they just take out another PCP for another 3 years and on and on they go forever in debt.
Commutes today are long and People want cars for comfort. Gone are the days of good paying local work especially in rural areas and with motorways people want to do that in comfort and speed.
My neighbour got rid of his car and only uses an electric scooter now hopefully things are starting to shift 👍😎
Don't forget that in Australia (where I live) the Honda Super Cub was and still is the most used bike for postal delivery. We call them "Postie bikes" great bikes!
I frequent Outback
The C90 with high and low Range
Can’t forget something you never knew in the first place.
Mail delivery by motorcycle? I've never heard of such a thing.
Miss my Honda trail 90 wish I was a teen again
I've already put 3,500 miles on my new Honda Monkey. They are a blast. And buying a Honda means your not getting a piece of crap. These are well made machines and they are so much more sophisticated than the ones from the '70s. They have ABS front brake, electronic fuel injection and ignition... They are a little pricey but you get what you pay for.
Own a monkey, good friend has one also. Being 52 and he's 61 we remember the older Honda bikes. You are 100% correct.
I’ve recently retired and getting ready to sell my home to go completely mobile with a travel trailer and pick up truck and this looks like it might be worth buying when that happens for trips to town and maybe just sightseeing and scooting around. It’s a beautiful design.
My vote is to get it! Extreme gas mileage, low maintenance, fun to ride, quick, and you can basically get in and out of anywhere when you are in town.
You won’t regret it , it’s reliable. I you go to Asia it’s all over. The place . 👍🏻
Or consider an e bicycle. Lighter and easier to pack away. Good for your fitness after a day in the driving seat.
I have a scooter and a ton bike so not against power (and rode one of these cubs in Asia years ago, or the suzuki 90 cousin). You can go 80 to 100km on an e bike but a bit slower.
Just an idea 😃. Enjoy whatever it is.
I am surprised that more van dwellers out west on BLM land don't have something like this so they don't have to break camp every time they need to go into town for something.
Consider also Yamaha TW200
First bike I ever rode was a 1963 Honda 50. Dad bought it for Mom for her birthday. Mom was one of the original "nicest people." Eventually it became mine. I'm 67 now and still riding. "It's not a big motorcycle, just a groovy little motorbike."
It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys
A rich neighbor kid had one in 1961 and let me ride it a couple of times. I have loved them ever since.
Watching the Super Cub anime, honda’s anime was probably successful advertising. 👍🏻
I was on the brink of buying one and that show pushed me over the edge. No joke.
Clicked this video just to find this kind of comments.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who know about that anime lol
@@lauraspud4270 Just about bought one on complete impulse. Only thing that put a hard stop to that is the fact they're inexplicably unavailable in Canada.
That anime is making me buy one even tho I already have 2 manual mopeds from the seventies , I will for sure buy one
Just picked up a new 2021. Makes me feel like a kid again.
I'm still waiting for mine...
The most important bike ever designed. My grandfather has one from the 90s, straight from the box, ridden like mad and still turns over better than most new bikes. Given its importance it sits proudly next to Vincents, Gold Stars etc.
Since it IS the most produced motor vehicle in history, I'd say that's DAMNED important! It's the Bic pen of bikes. So many were made that people often forget what a FINE product it is! (And yes, I think that the common Bic pen is the most important writing implement of the last 100 years!).
My first bike as a kid was a C-50. Rode the hell out of it, lol.
Mine was a ct70. Went everywhere with it, wet, dry, sandy, roads, dirt, pavement, wherever. It was always ready and willing to go.
My first bike was a year old (1969) C50, rode it from Bourne to Stamford (UK) for 3 years then returned to Canada, brought it with me (cost 30 quid on the ship) rode it in Canada until I bought a Yamaha 100 twin. The Yammy was not anywhere as dependable. Upped the C50 engine size to 70cc in 1974 by changing the head, pot and piston, don't remember if it made any real difference!
@@geobrower3069 i bought a Yamaha New Crypton 110cc in Acapulco. I brought it here to the USA rolling. California to be exact with Mexican Plates 🤣.
Didnt want to sell it so i brought it. Enjoyed the California ride from South to North
I had a Honda Passport C70. I was a teenager at the time and although I liked riding it, I wanted something more powerful. Now I wished I had kept it because they are nearly impossible to find. They are perfect for driving around town.
@@nitrorc4life1 I had a red one. A few years ago I saw a gold one in absolutely pristine condition. Ran like it was brand new!
Im falling in love with Honda Cubs. Only thing i dont like about this new one is theres no seat for second passenger. Here in Asia theres always room for a whole family on old cubs 😁
The ones sold in Europe comes with a back seat as standard, with a luggage carrier as optional. You could probably do the opposite replacement.
True. I live in Thailand. Whole families on one bike!
U could buy a seat
We call them postie bikes down here in Australia. It’s what the postman use to deliver the mail on until they started using electric bikes. Anyway look them up they have quite the following down here
I learned to ride on a 1969 C90 in the 90's and I still have that bike.
"let's go find apples"
OMG, actual LOL
How about, "my wife is always pregnant" LOL!!!
Yep.....my WTF moment too.

I'm pretty confident you can wire in a basic keyed ignition if you ever had to, but your point is a good one.
Great job Sean! More test ride videos please. Really enjoy your work
There are so many Honda’s like this one in my home country and not as many cars. Seeing you riding on American highways with all the enthusiasm and excitement makes me smile
I had the 1966 50cc Cub in High School from 77-78. I got around for 50 cents fuel a week. Loved that thing! I think she topped out at 50 MPH downhill with a tailwind!
A variation of this bike is still one of the best selling ones in Malaysia, these days. Enjoy them! They're great!
I recently restored an old 2004 Honda Super Cub 50cc and I absolutely love it
I recently watched an anime called Super Cub. Before watching the show, I had thought that my love for motorcycles are already over with. The more I watched, I found myself looking for motorcycles on fb marketplace. I now finally have a motorcycle again.
One does not simply lose love for motorcycles
LET'S GO SUPER CUB
If it was a trike or had a side car, I would have it. Since my second stroke I've had to give up motorcycles because of my balance. But man that's a cool, retro looking motorcycle. Awesome video, I love this channel. Just because I can't ride anymore doesn't mean I can't look...lol
I love the channel. I grew up riding dirt bikes but haven't been on 2 wheels in over 20 years. My kid is off to college soon and I think it's about time to get back on one!
I love my Super Cub! I've got the red and white one and I commute 20 miles to work (Weather permitting) on a 55mph highway and average about 125 mpg. It gets up to sixty on flat stretches or as much as 70 downhill.
I’ve always loved Hondas. Even these things are cool to me lol.
Honda always has been & still is the most reliable make in the world👍👍fact👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧
I have the 2020 Super Cub and get 140+ mpg on a regular basis. Tons of fun, very quiet yet a nice throaty hum when you rev the engine. Love this thing!
I bought 4 of your Tank Straps a few Months ago and I want to tell you, they are the best straps I have ever used for transporting motorcycles. I bought 2 Goldwings in the last 30 days, different trips for each and drove over 600 miles for each. The tank straps held them solid over the worst roads you could ride on. After I strapped the bike down, I could shake the entire trailer using the bike. I recommend Tank Straps 100%.
The sound of even the CUB is better than any electric bike. I started on a 76 Honda Trail 90, loved it then and still ride and love it today. Agreed, one is not enough!
Hope you try the new Honda Trail 125 when it comes out in the US (It is already here in AU).
I bought one of these to teach my kids how to ride. It worked well. I weigh 240lbs and I could get this up to 55 completely stock.
The 70s CB125 with carburator could carry a young man to 60mph. Unless this had a governor, i assume it can do it easily.
Groms have buzzed past me cruising up a mountain at 50, and they were toating big boys. However a mile or two ahead i came across one that went wide and plowed into a cliff face. He was ok. Grom... Weeellll.
I owned the Korean version of this bike while stationed there and I must say. This archaic engine a fun and nimble. A true back road hero!
Learned a lot. I totally love your videos (it's like the 3rd or 4th I've checked out from your channel today). The Honda flyer with their jingle that you meet the nicest people on a Honda was a laugh out loud riot especially of the picture of Santa and the dude with the shaggy dog driving one of their cycles. Hope to get one someday in the future.
Love your vid man, this is my wishlist first motorcycle, you have a great life and your family bud! In Red, from Ph! God bless you bro!
Trail 125 is out. My local dealer had 3. Sold before they hit the showroom
That's the same story when the Monkeys came out too.
On the highway you can tell its not maxed out. It has to have some kind of governor that you could possibly adjust and go faster. Your right it would be a blast with a couple buddies cruising! 🔥🔥👍👍❤
I love that they decided to keep this legendary bike alive👍
Why wouldn't they??
This bike still sells like it used to when it was introduced. This is Honda's most selling bike and the most popular bike in the world. There is no reason to discontinue it.
I own a 1964 honda c310 and a 1974 Honda SS50 and those engines are great! There's a reason they are still using those engines, reliable, powerful, low maintanence, fuel economy. Love those Hondas.
Great review! Coincidentally I’m gone ride my ‘81 C70 from Lancaster to Ocean City, NJ this weekend to join the family! My full size bikes have been collecting dust since I got the C70 in the spring.
I had an 81 Honda CT70 Passport. It is the only bike I regret selling.
I used to worry about what bike I was being seen on but with age comes wisdom and now at 51 I'd gladly accept one of these cubs with open arms, people friendly, great economy and as the old adverts used to say"you meet the nicest people on a Honda" plus you'll never get a speeding ticket! A great bike and in this format will be hugely popular.
I remember these as honda 50 here in Jamaica as a little boy they were very strong a lot of owners were farmers and business operators, that used to load them like a little pickup truck and they wouldn't break down , one farmer had his farm a couple miles up the hill and that bike would run both ways loaded and never failed , I remember the c50 c90 s90 z90 and then the cb 100 .
Thank you for the daily blessing. We need more of that.
I used to ride these around fields when I was 10. My first experience of motorcycles. Yay!!
Same! With no weather shield.
The only bad thing about the new Cub, is that bloody awful, bright red single seat, you could get 3 people on an old one.
In the UK the best engine choice was the C90.
They were immortal, and even once they were taken off the road, the kids were running around the fields on them, jumping ditches and running through hedges.
In the 60-80's nearly all the kids learnt how to ride on them.
If the engine blew, you knew where another one was, you could do an engine swap in an afternoon.
If you bounced into a tree, or finally managed to break the pressed steel frame, take off the engine and wheels,
Someone will be wanting them soon enough.
The blue/light blue/red seat color scheme and single seat were what they had on the first Super Cubs in 1958. Honda has always considered the Super Cub and its variants to be a single-rider bike, even though they equipped them with longer seats and footpegs for passengers.
True that. Spent many happy days on a c50 field bike. Those things are tough as old boots.
I learned to ride on a 69 C90. Took that thing off road more times than I can count. Never broke it and still have it today.
@@redfoxcb9
Yes, I totally believe its in great condition.
But council estate bikes, that get swapped around for £40-50 or a decent stereo system etc, lead very hard lives.
Not new to the channel, but new to subscribe! I'm an old dude, so i actually remember the introduction of these foreign bikes. A lot of resistance surrounded me, but i gotta' tell you, the original bikes were just so much fun! I would trade 10 years of today's for just one of those incredibly beautiful yesterdays!
Instead of a donkey if Jesus was here today He would ride this
Jesus was a carpenter by trade. I imagine He would prefer a pickup truck. :)
A skateboard 🛹
Jesus would use the new jetsuit.
Love the cub
You have to hunker down behind the speedo to cut the wind resistance to get to sixty!
That much I remember with the c90’s (it also helps to round up the speed to the next number - the benefits of a speed dial over an lcd speed indicator 🤣)
Yes! old school Honda Step Thru.
C 50/70 &90 here in the U.K. if I remember correctly.
Been watching your channel for a while but today you earned a new subscriber 👌🏻
Good day to you.
I am a Honda Cross Cub Grandpa from Japan.
It is a nice C125 video!!
Thank you so much for sharing.
Have a nice day!!
I agree,the Honda Cub is an iconic m/c, and just to mention in the early and mid 70s the Honda m/c company had 60% of the m/c market,which is absolutely amazing.
Great review. Super Cub Classic version with solo seat is a sharp little bike. Looks like it performs good too. Don't like the looks of the new Gray Version with buddy seat quite as much. Either one would still be a ton of fun.
I just got into riding this year and bought a Honda cb300 and I love it. I started watching motorcycle video after I got a bike and I have enjoyed you videos because you aren't a brand or riding style snob. It is awesome that you appreciate and like all different types of bikes!!!
I rode this beautiful bike about 1978.i had the 50cc ,70cc,90cc .I did have a 100 cc but it was not good to ride.so went back to a 50cc. I passed my test and then took my son at.10 upto the training center and they taught him to ride it on the site and learn the highway code.hed had a bike at 2 yrs a technomoto.and one at 4 yrs old a pasiguino.and we all ride today .I have a 50cc I'm 71yrs old mum.john has a Honda adv 350 and a royal Enfield meteor 350.hes 73yrs old .son has a triumph street triple hes 49yrs old.so keep biking. Linda ,john, Chris ,Bellamy UK. 2022
Yeah, they look fun as heck. The wife and I tool around on our 35 mph minibikes, and to actually be street legal on one of those would be great. Really interested in the Trail 125 that you say is coming out, too!!!!!!
It'll set you back 4k!
I’ve been riding for 47 years now and I have owned about everything and I am in love with this little sweet bike 🏍
I recently got a 150 cc "scooter" and I love doing my errands on it, super lightweight and fun to ride. It keeps miles off my vfr800 too, riding 40 years started on a scooter
Thank you for sharing!
The first bike that rode when I was about 10 years old! May the Lord continuing blessing you!!!
I did a 140 mile trip on my ‘87 C90 Cub here in the U.K. just a couple of weeks ago. Didn’t miss a beat.
I also own a year old Monkey which is great too. Love them.
Quit making me wait so long for an upload lol. Sweet little bike!
They are EVERYWHERE here in Australia, All our postman use them, known fondly here as "The Postie bike"
I thought the postie bike was the trail version of the Cub, the CT110.
@@CaptHollister there was a trail variant back in the day that had hi and low drive but farmers mostly had those
Wish they had that here in the🇺🇸 for the P.O. Our vehicle are 30 year old hot boxes on wheels 👎
Great to see this I didn’t know it was back in the US. But what was even more interesting was knowing every road you drove on.
Owned five Honda's over the years including the mighty 75' 750four, 68' 305 Dream I restored, TWO cubs (74' and 80' passport), and cl125 during college days. Eyeing one of these to enjoy in upcoming Senior years...I'm 62 yo riding since 69'.
I can't even watch srk anymore without someone trying to sell me an extended warranty on my vehicle. What a shame.
I must admit, I have reduced my viewership as well.
@@robertpierce1981 Do you have a moment to talk about your insurance and how we can save you 10% a year, just PM me you personal info and I will call you to explain how easy it is.
Wait till those Grom kids get ahold of one of these lol. It'll do 60 then.
It wouldn't be hard at all to get to 60+.
Easy with the 143 cc big bore kit
@@chopsinistra4860 Yep. Maybe fit a oil-cooler on it. Does the BBK come with a head with more that 2 valves?
They do 60+ stock. Just gotta tuck lol
As far as engine parts, I'd guess whatever fits a Grom will probably fit a Super Cub or Monkey. The only real difference between the Super Cub and the others is the centrifugal clutch.
Just helped a friend buy a 2021 Super Cub on Saturday. What a riot that thing is! So much fun
Thanks for the review Sean!
James May rode the older version of this across vietnam!
Good, I've been trying to reach you about your bikes extended warranty.
My first two wheel experience (1969) as a kid I rode my older step sister's Honda Cub. I think it was 90cc. Honda advertisement back then, "You meet the nicest people on a Honda". Marketing that got around the bad boy Marlin Brando Wild Bunch image. Always enjoy your videos. Keep 'em coming.
Fun video. Thanks! Friend had a 1965 Honda 90, black. Were the Cub and the Honda 50 the same thing?
You could easily pull a Fred Flintstone and get it to 65mph.
I would absolutely love to have that ha
Hey Srkcycles!? Do you recommend the super cub or the trail for a beginner rider small SMALL, short intervals daily commute?
Love you man. You really get the range of the motorcycle hobby.
I wanna do a challenge. Ride coast to coast on a super cub, using the least amount of fuel. That would make a good series.
I'm doing exactly that right now! My riding buddy, Adrian, and I are on the road from Houston, TX to Bar Harbor, Maine to ride in the Scooter Cannonball Run. That event will be 4500 miles, coast to coast over 10 days, ending in Eureka, CA.
I'm tracking all of my fuel receipts and mileage (always do), and I'll be posting all of the videos on my channel and the fuel stats in Fuelly for everyone to view: fuelly.com/driver/QuasiMotard . Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Great review, my buddy has 73k on his 1970 cub and it’s still running 👍
I had a Helix and was paranoid driving on the highway. You taking that on a major highway is amazing.
My Helix does fine on the highway; just stays in the right lane unless some car is really slow. No problem since I stick to the inner or outer lane to ensure I can prevent anyone from driving parallel to me. 60-68 depending on uphills and wind. No wind max of 71, so highways are do-able.
I don't know what they called it in the mid-60s, but my dad had a 150cc version with a fairing like that. Only had it for a couple of months until he went up to a 350 cc bike. He spent his youth on an old Indian with a suicide shift in the late 30s and early forties. Was even driving years before he got his license because he was a military messenger for the Navy in Bayonne. They actually hired bikers to run their messages, they didn't care who you were or how old you were! Just how patriotic you were! At 16 he forged his birth certificate and by the time he was 18 he was sitting in the tail gun of a B-17! So seeing that bike again was a pleasure, thank you!
when he said "Lets go find apples" I actually died
There is anime on super cubs released recently, if you like super cubs you'll like it as well.
It's good isn't it?
What do you think of the honda mb5? I restoring one to use for fun rides around town and maybe to commute to work on back roads.
The original 50cc version had a dual seat and was repairable at home. How is this progress?
I really, really want a125 trail
I was thinking about getting the 125 trail, but if i need to go on the highway a little - maybe i should get the Himalayan .
I can’t wait to see the performance parts
There are quite a few performance parts available for these machines.
Performance parts? HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA...
You don't see them, you hear them!
For riding around the city (no off road), would you prefer this or the Trail 125?
I raced these Scoots (C90) around the Woods as a kid! They have a soft spot in my heart and I will upgrade my commuter bike next year for one of these! Currently ride a Piaggio Liberty for commuting and a winter hack! It is a great little Scooter, reliable and reasonably quick! My summer toy is a Vespa GTS300, now that is a proper Scooter for posing and Touring on, but I have to get a Super Cub for the Nostalgia of owning one again!
There’s an anime called Super Cub that’s just now airing too btw 😂😂 and it’s pretty awesome
Literally this show is the whole reason I finally got off my butt and decided to learn how to ride!
I love when the only concern is that in 40 years it will be annoying to try to revive the old Honda a kid finds in a barn
they do that for at least 25years now! young boys love bikes like that! the queen is the legendary HONDA GLX, the c90 c100, honda astrea-grand-supra..
Thats a fine review for this Honda.
I’m sold!
*DUDE, I am from Dominican Republic and those little things are a legend! almost indestructible! not very fast even though highly modifiable, but overall not very fast. Great short distance commuter, and if I can put my hands on one of those Ill be set for life!*
The greatest honda ever made is the one that made honda what it is today, the C50/90,is the vehicle that sold more than any other by far.
yes! and the GLX
I had a c90 in '74 loved it to bits.
Love the verse reading. Asparagus is good sauteed
It's better than broccoli atleast, with the added benefit of making your urine smell bad.
@@AnimePlusUltrah you right about that.
I want one…. Do you typically need to get them shipped from states away or are they easier to find. Not finding much in California
Sean, thanks for another fascinating evaluation. (Honda Cub). Also, thanks for continuing to include our daily Words of Wisdom while gloving up.
