Honda Super Cub 50th anniversary edition

Written by: Rebecca Milner on July 30, 2008 at 2:50 am | In LIFESTYLE / FASHION |

Honda’s iconic Super Cub turns 50 this year and to celebrate the momentous birthday of the top selling motorbike of all time (over 60 million world wide), Honda is releasing a special limited anniversary edition.

The 49cc Cub has undergone numerous updates over the decades and this latest edition will feature the latest engineering and an exclusive color scheme. The Super Cub comes in graphite black with a royal brown seat and the Little Cub in pearl coral reef blue with a reed red seat; both models will feature side covers emblazoned with “50th anniversary.” Available from August 1st, the Super retails for a modest ¥204,750 (about $1,905) and the Little for ¥210,000 (about $1,954).

While Honda’s Cub is used primarily as a leisure bike in the West, in Japan it was originally designed for the service delivery industry. Thanks to its cheap maintenance, easy maneuvering, and high fuel efficiency, the Cub remains a staple of urban life in Japan, perhaps most recognizably as the official mode of transportation of the Post Service.

  2. America needs / wants the new Honda Super Cub. Current scooter mix in US has no “character”. With EFI emissions shouldn’t be an issue. Thanks in advance Honda!
