What is it?
Undoubtedly the most famous motorcycle ever built! Launched in 1958, and still in production today, the Super Cub was launched by the company in 1958, and mobilised Japan, and soon the rest of the World like nothing before.
This is an example of the basic C100 that was introduced to the UK in 1966. By this stage Honda had already achieved massive success around the world with the C100, selling 167, 000 in 1959, more than 50% of Hondas output. In 1963 Honda had become the world’s largest motorcycle manufactures and by 1982 they had sold over 14 million Super Cubs.
What’s it got?
Its 49cc four stroke overhead valve engine produced 4. 3bhp at an incredible, for that time, 9500rpm. After years of smoky and noisy two stroke models from other manufacturers, this little four stroke jewel was an immediate sales success and profits from this model alone were more than enough to fund Hondas highly successful race programme.
How does it drive?
Engine 49cc, OHC, air-cooled, single Power 4. 5bhp Weight 90kg
The 17in wheels could take on any road, the plastic shroud and step-through design gave weather protection, it was a true class leader and made Honda’s name.
Why this one?
Original stamped service book
UK supplied on original and transferable registration number
Unrestored with 1 former keeper
Unrepeatable opportunity
Pub fact
More than 100 million Super Cubs have been built and not only is the Super Cub the most produced motor vehicle in history, it continues to be the world’s best-selling motorcycle more than 60 years after the first one rolled off the Honda assembly line in 1958.
