Honda Super Cub Special Site

By Paul Crowe

Honda Super Cub Special Site

Honda is about to launch a special site devoted to the long running Honda Super Cub. After 50 years and 60 million units, the Honda Super Cub is about to get its own special website. It’s set to go live on September 26th. Neat!

UPDATE: Site is live. It takes a while to load but it’s a very cool little site with lots of history and images.

    I think it’s great that Honda has chosen to leave the US out of the loop for this bike. Cheap, easy, and fuel efficient. WAY TO GO HONDA! Let’s even further dwindle our variety available to the US market. VTX’s and Goldwings! While all of our competitors make bikes that the vast majority of people really want.

    Honda can use it to judge interest by location. If they get a million hits in the US they might think it’s worth importing it. Now let’s wait to see how the site is promoted? Direct link from Honda-US sites? Target news groups (like the Kneeslider) or special interest groups like the CT90/CT110 Yahoo group with 2900 members and counting…

    Not only the Cub. I’ve been going to Thailand the last 2 winters (going again soon) for several months and always rent a motorcycle (about $30/week). The first year I rented a Dream, the 125cc 4-speed manual auto-clutch stepthrough that hasn’t changed much since the sixties, and last year got an AirBlade, a 110cc water-cooled CVtrans that’s got bigger wheels than most scooters; it’s a motorcycle as far as I’m concerned, and as far as its handling goes.

    They should sell at least the AirBlade in North America. They would sell millions of them. In Thailand it costs about $1900 new (the Dream is about $1500). In Thailand people ride them all the time; they’re workhorses, use them for hauling, riding two or three up — four if it’s a family with little kids (they make child seats that fit in front of the driver). Even with the two of us riding — combined weight just under 300 lbs. — they were plenty fast enough. The Dream gets a bit slow on hills with that weight, but the AirBlade, because of the CVT, does not. The Dream’s brakes could use an upgrade (those old drums) but the AirBlade has disks and they’re fine. Fantastic bikes, lots of fun.

    Honda is missing the boat not bringing these in to North America. And don’t get me started on the CBR150 — does the quarter in 14 sec at 90 mph and a top end of 109 mph.

    Cool site

    I love these little Hondas, I wish they would bring them back to Australia as well. We have a 110 cc version that our postal service use but it is not quite the same. Put the 110 engine in a super cub with disk brakes and electric start, maybe CVT as well and I would have the perfect vehicle for a lot of my transportation needs.

    I think a 50 and a 110 (or 90) with these modern conveniences would sell by the bucket loads this summer in OZ. Cheaper, cooler(in my opinion) and better handling than a Vespa and way better quality than those cheapo Chinese scooters and mopeds.
