2022 Honda Super Cub 125 Update | What's New?

- Following on from doing a quick overview of the Honda Monkey 125 updates for 2022, I thought I’d mention the 2022 Honda Super Cub 125 update as well, to show what's new.
Both these models go Euro5 in 2022, meaning availability on the European market, in a win for all those who need that compliance on their motorcycles.
The big change is of course in the engine department as a result, with the new Super Cub 125 to run the C110 bottom end, with a redesigned crankcase, and the two-valve cylinder head and top-end found on the latest edition Euro5 Honda Grom.
Bore and stroke is 50 by 63.1 mm, and a compression ratio of 10:1, while power is a slight increase to 7.2 kW in total, and torque peaking at 10.4 Nm. According to Honda that offers a smoother, more powerful and more efficient engine overall.
Part of the package is a new airbox, new connecting tube and new injector position. The exhaust is also updated, despite no visible changes, with two catalysers replaced with a single more efficient catalyser. To match the ECU has also been reprogrammed, while output from the Alternating Current Generator is increased.
Unlike on the Monkey, the gearbox on the Super Cub retains a four-speed gearbox, with neutral found at the bottom rather than between first and second, and there’s an automatical centrifugal clutch, with a traditional gear selector for at a standstill.
Like the Monkey the Super Cub offers 1.5 L /100 km, with a much smaller fuel tank capacity of 3.7 L which is still good for 250 km.
The Super Cub naturally retains that almost scooter-like contained bodywork, including leg guards but without floor boards, for a very clean overall style, while foot pegs and the pillion seat are standard fitment in 2022.
This is also seen on the headlight and controls, which are all integrated, with forged tapered bars and the instruments also incorporated all in one. Lighting is LED, with that dash running an analogue speedo and warning lights in the outer and an inner digital display, separated by chrome rings, for a neo-retro kind of design.
Like the Honda Monkey, the key has a button which will flash the bike’s lights, with an immobiliser also fitted and matched to the key.
The steel backbone frame continues, with new mounting hangers for the redesigned crankcases, and the ‘bars and seat are rubber mounted, with the footpegs also running rubber inserts.
The Super Cub is a little heavier than the Monkey at 110 kg, and runs a longer wheelbase at 1245 mills, with 17 inch die-cast aluminium wheels, a 70 by 90 front and 80 by 90 rear. There’s dual twin rear shocks and telescopic forks, with 100 mm of travel, while a 220 mm front disc brake is run alongside a single-piston caliper. The rear drum is a 110 mm unit in comparison.

I hope that blacked out color makes it way stateside 😍
It's ugly (IMHO)
Love the commando color
Same. I like it many times more than the retro red and cream color of the 2020 which is okay but not my style. This carbon gray/black is quite a nice contemporary feel. Considering for local travel since I work close to home.
Great video and that bike looks amazing!
Good day to you.
I am a senior rider on HONDA Cross Cub from Japan.
Enjoying touring ,camping and video uploading.
This is so nice super cub video!
Awesome!!
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Have a nice day my friend!!
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!
What a lovely bike! I want them in Brazil 🥰
@Paul W.A True, but not everywhere
This little Honda does look good, it must be nice to commute to work if it isn't too great a distance to travel. In Brazil we have the Honda Biz and the Honda Pop 110i which fill the Monkey's slot, but neither look as classic. Keep up with the great videos!
Thanks! It's definitely one for the shorter or non highway trips, but a cool machine all the same.
Cara essa no lugar da Biz 125 seria ideal ne?
The red and white colour looks so much nicer!
Well...I bought a used 2020..I like it .. ALOT
You can match the content of your talk with the image of the bike. For example, when you are talking about the new change of the headlight then show the image of the headlight. 🚀
I normally try to, to some extent, but it's not always possible to show everything without changing photos every few seconds, which can be jarring and annoying.
I would buy this in a heartbeat... But ?
I probably won't untill they put the Kickstarter back on it.. and get rid of the silly key fob.
Sold over 100,000,000 units. Dont think they care your opinion
Sweet
They're cool little machines!
Does the 2022 Super Cub have the new dedicated removable oil filter like the new Grom?
Not that I've seen noted anywhere and since it's running the C110 bottom end I'd guess it'll be the same as that.
It definately looks like the same oil filter cover on the front just like the new 2022 Grom has. Must be. Great looking version this is. Thanks
Yes it has a normal oil filter now
@@nephilymbass1 Thanks.
Great bike. It would be interesting to see a video clip on accessories such as clear screen and a top box in place of the pillion seat. That would make this bike a great commuter, shopping unit. Do they make a blue version that would go well with the red seat.
I didn't see any note of which accessories will be available with the announcement of this bike, but there's a rear carrier that should be suitable for a rear box. It would look great in a blue, but there was no mention of colours available, so I'm not sure whether that means the grey is the only option or if there may be additional colours on the way. The old 100 model looked great in blue.
Will there be dual abs for new compliance in the new model?
Good question, I haven't heard anything yet, but I guess we'd need to see a full disc brake version for that. They might need to chuck some knobby tyres on and call it a trial or enduro bike.
When can we buy in the us?
Very nice come in tamil nadu
Essa moto poderia vim pro Brasil
Is this available in Australia still?
They are still listed on the official Honda Motorcycles website as part of the range, despite only having front ABS so I would have thought so.
Any one know if this bike is available in the U.S.?
I thought I'd seen it listed on the official Honda Motorcycles US site.
I hope they still sell the red one and not that crappy black crap.
no side stand?
In the EU UK North America and several other countries a side stand is expensive as it needs a switch to interact with the ecu and a lock device in the gearbox to prevent a gear change from neutral when down, this requires a rework of the bottom end which is expensive other countries do not have the same standards and so a side stand can be fitted, we get the center stand instead which is easy to use a the bike is so light. Plus we in UK get the passenger seat which is mounted to a rack and foot pegs.
_l have a 2019 Blue on Blue with 1550kms on the clock!_
._Should l trade-in for the 2020???_
_BTW I LOVE the SC 125....only my second bike in 40 years!_
That's a hard one, I guess it depends how much it sets you back and how much you value the updates.
@@MotoJournoKris
_Thx Mate!_
_The fact that there's a factory pillion seat and pegs, small power increase(?) along with other slight changes that l can't recall, l wonder myself?_
_Maybe the dealer can tell me what the 'exchange' will be or l might be better off selling private as it's such a lovely bike!_
_Really, l could just add the accessory pegs from Thailand and be done with it!_
_Once again , l really like the bike!_
@@ivankuljis1780 I mean if you really like the new colour scheme, and the extras, plus the little tweaks and are thinking of keeping the bike long term, like five+ years, it probably makes a lot of sense, assuming it isn't a horrendous figure to do the upgrade. As only your second bike in 40 years it seems like you hold onto them!
@@MotoJournoKris
_Thanks heaps Kris_
_Something to 'think about' hey!_
how to order this motorcycle for the philippines,?
You'd have to check whether they are available locally, but if they are it should be via a Honda dealer.
Can't understand a word you say.
Closed captioning is complete gibberish too.
are the wheels puncher proof 🤔
The tyres? I very much doubt it.

Is it in India
I don't believe so, the only news I've seen regarding an Indian release is that it is unlikely unfortunately.
When they offer this or the Trail 125 with a larger engine, I'll go look at them.
Does seem like they could do quite well offering a larger capacity or more powerful version, I guess the challenge is fitting a bigger engine and maintaining the package/heritage.
100%; basically all their grom-engined bikes need a 150/160 version for Aussie/global use and a 125 for Europe… like they do with the PCX. Redesigning for euro 5 was the time to do it. Sadly I think the profit margins on these are so high, and the core demographic buy them for aesthetic reasons, so it’s not seen as a worthwhile investment on Honda’s part.
For me though the price of all of them but the grom is a deal breaker. I know these fashion bikes are often jacked up (ahem Vespa) but I just can’t justify it against bang for buck with other bikes. The Matt black is nice though
@@jonpram1737 They are certainly on the premium end of things, I wonder how many they sell now. Obviously historically they've done well, but a large part of that was super affordable transport as well as the cool styling. That's probably why the Grom is popular, they are much cheaper.
Buy a crf300l
@@alabaster4263 That's what I'd buy of the current smaller capacity Hondas! Maybe the Rally.
क्या यही डिजाइन को इलेक्ट्रिक साईकिल में पैडल इलेक्ट्रिक सब मोटर और बैटरी लगा कर और किफायती बना सकते हैं ....
I'm not sure to be honest, I've never seen one setup like that, but I haven't really been looking for it either.
Top speed ?????
50mph give or take depending weight carried/angle,degree of road
I am buy it please to talk whare I get it?
Best to check with your local Honda Motorcycle dealerships.
It flirt me simply but I can't as she is so expensive for me😑 love from Myanmar
Yep, they are definitely on the premium end of the 125 market!
wont meet full comfort for larger riders e.g westerners till it is offered with full length seat, as traditional ones where a ct seat is stupid,...... and limits the amount of luggage it can carry. with a rack aft of full lenth seat see pics of old ones .
so with full saddle bags and rear gear sack/ stile pack you can still move ford and aft to get comfortable
instant round aussie tourer just like the old ct 110 was, but with more speed to doge the road trains.
Honda would sell hundreds of them.
should have 10 k speed advantage on HI way over ct 110.
for overseas people yes around/trough and over aussie,.... adventures on ct s is a thing.
and those tubeless tires, so much better then pulling the tube out half way cross the nullabour.
It's actually amazing the trips people have done on these little machines, really demonstrates how capable they are. Not the fastest, but they'll take you places!
@@MotoJournoKris many fit plastic xr petrol tanks to the ct and the ct is probably better for around aussie but the cub wasn't available for 30 years or more so ct was the only game in town.
now if your not going way off the tar the c is the best choice certainly capable, for well made dirt roads.
watch Honda miss a huge sales opportunity from all ages by not offering a proper seat.
I cant see a 20 something young lady choosing that, over another scooter with a big comfy seat.
no matter how cute it looks.
remember that's who bought the earlier one,.... by the thousands, 40 years ago.
cause it was such a safe and little cutie...., in their eyes. and didn't put all that nasty grease on their cloths, with that lovely chain casing.
@@peterhatton7558 It does feel like a missed opportunity, especially considering pricing, which is almost 50% more than a Grom. A super affordable, cute and comfortable option would be great for getting more young people and women into riding. That said Australia just doesn't seem to have that level of scooter culture you see in some parts of Europe, or even South East Asia, where that kind of thing is a hit.
@@MotoJournoKris last comment on this I promise.... its hard to have a scooter culture here in Australia with our drivers.
and Honda ripping defeat from the jaws of victory.
by doing zero advertising.
haven't seen a Honda motorcycle add for years.
let alone a program of adds promoting scooters and step trues.
@@peterhatton7558 True, the only ads I can think of seeing were the Suzuki ones a few years ago on TV, which was during the racing coverage, which is probably less of a scooter thing. Shame really, encouraging people to ride would be great overall, as so many people drive with a single person in the vehicle so much of the time, it'd help with parking, congestion, be cheaper second vehicles (over another car)... I think the motorcycling advertising is normally targeted within the rider community too.
Needs at least 250 cc
Yep, I reckon 250 is a good base starting point for a do-everything bike.
It loses significant fuel economy once it surpasses past 150cc. This bike is for the fuel economy-cognizant motorist.
People don’t buy these for performance. Not what its designed for or marketed for. Cub owners love giggling at the pump because they get well over 100mpg. No 250 I know of gets better than 80mpg. Also a 125 is enough to keep up i with traffic in town. Going up to a 250 it still wouldn’t be a do everything bike. Have you ever taken a 250 on the interstate? I’m not talking 55 mph highways. The super cub can handle that even. I’m talking 70-80mph interstates. 250s can’t handle those roads either.
How much ?Aus Dollar
Haven't seen anything regarding 2022 pricing as I'm not sure they'll meet the new ABS requirements, but the older version was about $7k ride-away based in Sydney.
