2023 Honda Super Cub C125 - DM Quick Ride Review 

I went to buy mine in Volskwagen Sharan. So basically minivan. It was standing, we just had to take mirrors off.

Whether a stereotype or not, I've heard the design brief was to allow a delivery man to carry boxes of noodles held on one shoulder...

@@EpohDerf Yep, that was the example Honda gave for the idea of a clutchless transmission.

@@DeanMk1 Great! I've yet to carry noodles in my hand on mine. Top box however...

Been riding these for 45 years including 3 wheelers. Removes the clunk he is not used to.

I'm 54 and about to get my very 1st bike I'm gonna get this super Cub in a couple of months. I hope that I enjoy it it seems less scary than a big motorcycle.

@@ADayinMyLife Scary is all in what you're accustomed to. This bike is cute but underpowered so you'll ALWAYS be pushed by auto traffic on all roadways. I got a clean used Suzuki Burgman 400 Maxi scooter that's easy & a hoot to ride. Enough power to ride city or highway no problem. It's Auto CVT so no shifting. But water-cooled & can tour regionally or just ride local. It does EVERYTHING this Honda does, and 3x more for half the money. I'd suggest you at least test ride different "easy ride bikes", Scooters, Maxi Scooters & street bike motorcycles under say 500cc. Safe riding !

Obviously, you don't live in California.Hit a pot hole with a 10" wheeled scooter, down you go. You'd better be wearing full gear and a full faced helmet. Why does Piaggio sport a larger diameter wheel? Vespa were designed when dinosaurs roamed the earth,just before powdered wigs were in fashion. 😂

It's a moped.

Great bike for M-119 or M-22!

...but having the long seat option (like how they used to have it) allows the rider more room to seat themselves comfortably. With the long seat the bike can accommodate a larger/taller rider.

@@DeanMk1 yes! I agree and wish I had that.

@@roylappin4491 They could at least offer it as an optional seat for the bike.

it could with another seat...

lmao, here in south east asia, these honda 125’s are used to carry supplies in rural areas. 125’s are also used as motorcycle taxis to carry heavy foreigners up mountains and down to the beaches. Google Lalamove and you’ll see couriers on 125’s with carry-on attachments stacked with packages for delivery on a daily basis.

I love the idea of living in the UK, but the weather would keep me from it.

@@DailyMotor Note to DM, Ireland is NOT in the UK! Just saying. 🙂

Ah lol thank you@@lefuedebout

All true. Well said. When the roads get really rough, the Super Cub goes where no Grom or Monkey does. Seventeen inch wheels make a huge difference.

makes sense.

Yeah I feel the same I love scooters but honda dct and someone automatic are winning me over

My big red was the same, love it

@LaneAWD_OwO I knowo it's such a nice feature!

Try honda click

Honda wave for sure, as it's much more maneuverable, due to the fact you sit astride the bike, instead of sitting with your legs as though you were sitting at a table, as with the Click version...

No, not stupid. I am 55 and want one.

For me, it was the other way around. A Goldwing was my first bike. I sold it and bought a Super Cub.

I passed my test on a 90cc cub then went to a 250, 650, then today's 900 (over about 30 years). Fond memories of the cub, great bike and cheap to run and maintain.

they've announced a electric cub tho it looks quite a bit different.

Yuck... electric...yuck... Don't drink the kool-aid

Even the C90 would be better than electric in many ways, electrics are fine, I drive an EV but it's soulless , it's a good car, don't get me wrong, it's a volkswagen ID.3 tour 5 with 82 Kwh battery so the range is good but there's no fun there or smile when you put the foot down you hear only a gentle while for a few seconds. Another thing is recharge times, and ok, while in bed my ev charges on night tariff and I got 350 -400 + Kms range but when away from home and needing to charge at a DC point it can be a pain especially if the battery is cold recharge times are much longer as the car has the ability to pre heat the battery VW do not allow it to pre-heat for DC charging, same with most ev manufacturers that have battery heating, the heater is only there to protect the battery at very low temps, it's possible future updates change this but for now, charge times in the cost at a DC charger is slow. Your winter range will be much less, not as noticeable in my car because I got so much range but I drove small battery electric cars in the past and you will really notice a range hit. And worst of all is that you are most surely going to see much less acceleration when the battery is cold. Being able to fill a petrol scooter in seconds is a huge advantage. I know Honda are working on a hybrid system but for goodness sake, this isn't necessary on a bike/scooter because they consume such little fuel to begin with, you're just adding a lot of unnecessary complexity that is guaranteed to see the bike end up in landfill far earlier than it should. Electronics have a limited lifespan before you need to replace the likes of capacitors or this can kill main boards and it's so hard to get parts now I can't imagine many electronic spare parts in the future, as more and mote tech is included now in bikes there is a far greater risk of these scooters/bikes and even cars ending up in scrap yards far earlier than they should. + do you really want to support strip mining in such disastrous scale for eb batteries ? I know I can't talk with my EV for sure but I really don't think at the end of the day that there's anything environmentally friendly about electric cars once you are aware how they have to get the minerals to make the batteries. Tesla's model 3 and model Y SR use no cobalt which is a big step in the right direction, they are LiFeP04 batteries but they can't hold as much energy so would not offer much range in a scooter/bike. I think petrol for now is by far the most environmentally sound way to get around using scooters and small cc bikes and the world would be far better off if we could encourage a lot more people onto bikes and scooters and ditch the 1 person cars and big trucks that clog up the streets. In my opinion of course. I used to think battery electric vehicles were the way forward but now I'm not so sure when I see the sheer damage to the land and rivers to extract the minerals in such quantities, I think it's a mistake we will regret in the years to come and I say this as an EV driver myself. Sure, electronic devices require mining also but to make electric cars in huge quantities is destruction of land on a whole new scale we have never seen before.

I honestly can't remember. It wasn't a riding jacket, just a generic fake leather jacket

I would definitely come to a stop before down shifting unless encountering a hill.

¡Bellisima!
