Without question, I consider this unpretentious video from a Hungarian source as far more useful and practically informative than the dozens of videos I’ve watched from U.S. sources. This gentleman focuses in sufficient detail upon all of the bike’s systems, with particular attention to clutch and braking. Good explanation as to why a relatively expensive (in Hungary) bike is so popular. I learned that Honda copyrighted this bike’s profile; hence, no copycats. Unlike so many other videos, where the operator rides for miles without comment, this presenter offers informative bike-centric commentary. Well done, Sir!
Thank you. Your explanation of the gear change on this bike has NEVER been bettered even by the so called journalists who have tested the bike. Your videos take some beating. Keep ‘em coming!!
I like your explanation and is the number one reason I purchased my Super Cub.. its the simplicity, elegance and not your everyday looking motorbike on the road (at least in current times). I didn’t buy this to haul cargo but to enjoy a casual ride and fresh air. Cheers!
Great review! I have owned one for almost a year and I love the little Super Cub. Lot of fun and goes to prove you don't always need to ride a big engined machine.
"tehát never forget"😂♥️ imádlak titeket és a magyar illetve angol teszteket is mindig megnézem! Köszönöm hogy gondoltok a külföldi motorosokra is ezekkel a tartalmakkal
I love big fast bikes, but this looks the business! I have already purchased the monkey and this is next on my radar. I’m loving the 125cc. Makes the rides just that little bit more adventurous.
I love the bike and also hungary. two of my most favourite .. i used the bike for several years and lived in hungary... i loved the place still Misses it my best friend is hungarian
Such a nice toy!!! J'adore!!! I would like to have it here in Canada! Just buy it, keep it clean and do some short distances in a sunny weekend's , like a Ferrari owners!
I chose a Vespa 150 Primivara because of the passenger seat and more thrust at a stop light. I need to go at least 55 on Florida side roads and connecting arteries. I may go look at these when I'm back in NH as they are great for those short shots to the library, or Ocean State Job Lots! We'll see. I have others to sell first. At 72, I should not be buying anymore. Not much time left.
And trust me, they squeeze the heck out of a perfectly good check account when it comes to paying for the Vespa. I live in a "no motorcycle's allowed condominium" during the winter. I'm dressing a new Primavara to look like an "Electrica" and hope that nobody notices. I'm going to keep it inside my unit. The Cub looks too much like a motorcycle.
Interesting review. I have owned several dozen bikes and currently have several much larger bikes in my garage. I choose to ride the cub on the backroads purely for the thrill of it. The challenge of properly up and down shifting the semi-auto trans. and the buttery smooth, humming of the tiny motor is a joy in rural areas up to around 50 MPH. It is fun to ride a slow bike fast. I have compared back to back with twist and go vespa 150 and 300 scooters and they lack the soul this bike has. Also: clearly this must not be your bike, based on the way you were abusing the transmission speed shifting it up the gears and also slamming downshifts causing the rear tire to chirp.
If I understood you correctly, I think you said the bike started in 1968? That’s maybe 10 years late. In 1961 I bought a used one, 55cc, and rode it year round in deep snow and summer rice paddies. A rock solid machine.
Love it, that engine is bulletproof I can testify, it’s been around since 2000 in Asia at least just different variations namely grom in US with clutch, wave125,RS125,Xrm125 Asian market just to name a few.
I really really want one of these but I cannot buy it until I pay my house off and that’s going to be five years from now. I am in the US and I really hope this bike is still here at that time. They brought it back in 2020 and I really want it to stay
I'm thinking about getting one of these for my first bike here in Ireland, it's a really nice bike, I'd me riding around in the countryside and occasional B roads up to maybe 100 Km/hr Max. I'm not interested in speed, acceleration and once it can climb hills at 50 Km/hr on hills here in the sticks I'll be happy. It would have been nice if it had some storage but I presume a top box can be fitted ? Another good thing is that it won't have much power so I won't be thinking about getting myself into tricky situations or making crazy over taking manoeuvres. The idea is to enjoy riding in the countryside, I won't be looking to go anywhere fast. And of course to pass my full A license I might need a bike like this for gears, I'm just not sure the semi auto box will allow me to drive a manual should I choose to down the road ? I was also thinking about a forza 350 something like that except I think because it's auto I might have to re-take the test to drive a manual so think the super cub might work out better unless the lack of a clutch messes up that idea.
@actnowone Thanks act! So, if I called the dealer, it will be something they can order? I will be taking delivery on the Vespa in a few weeks. When I get back north, I will go look at one of these. I have a little Z125 Kawasaki Pro that I will drive (risky) on the expressway. It will go 65 full on throttle. Just screaming away for about 10 miles either way. My BMW f850 Adventure rides really nice on the hyway. But me being short 5'9" my feet don't fit flat on the ground. Scary stopped on a hill. Clutch, brake, throttle. Green. Stall. Horns from other motorist. (feeling stupid) as the bike falls over on me! But I appreciate that you told me this. I am definitely interested. I like the SUZUKI Van-Van 200. What a greedy bastard I am. No wonder I don't have a pot to piss in!
Contact optimumenvironmental@yahoo.ca they have an old style Super Cub coming out that is still made in Honda facility in the traditional style at a price of $1600.00USD
@@ripmax333 my company, optimumenvironmental@yahoo.ca Bringing them into Canada spring 2020 Text 7053317552 and I'll answer your questions (or at least try to)
g FLIGHTNINGNAM The new one is far better (I have had both) get yourself a new one but keep the old one. For me the fuel injection and a top speed over 60 mph are the best features of the new supercub.
it's a more moronic than iconic thing, put 125cc engine in to 50cc moped frame is stupid and dangerous, high gravity center!!! it's a thing designed by Asian shrimps for Asian shrimps, half of my butt sticks out of the back of the seat... stupid gear change lever, you have to move left foot forward and backward all the time, to drive this stupid thing is a pain in a butt literally not figuratively...
@actnowone It might be better equipped but if you buy one then deep down you will always know it's an Innova. i'll stick with the only true Cub's and this model certainly ain't one.
