Fellow moto-loving friends in the US, I'm afraid I have some bad news to break today. It's something you may have suspected for some time, but that I've now confirmed with American Honda. While the company didn't make any special announcements drawing attention to this fact, the 2024 Honda Super Cub very quietly marked the final year for the Super Cub in the US.
For 2025, it simply disappeared from the American Honda website. If you weren't looking for it, you may not even have noticed; and if you did look for it, perhaps you may have done so at the beginning of the year and figured that a new model year announcement was just around the corner, but hadn't arrived yet.
However, I reached out to American Honda to ask if it was truly gone for our market. I was told that yes, MY2024 was the final year for it here. However, Honda cautions that it may not be gone for good, but "any potential return of the Super Cub would depend on ongoing product planning and market considerations." There is no confirmation that this will change any time soon; however, we shouldn't rule out the possibility completely.
Discontinued in the US, But Not Discontinued Elsewhere
Now, before any Super Cub fans who aren't located in the US get worried, Honda is still selling the Super Cub in other markets. In Europe, for example, it just announced the 2026 colorway of Premium Silver Metallic with Pearl Sugarcane Beige at the end of January.
At the beginning of January, Cub House Honda in Thailand showed off a new Polished Silver colorway on the C125 (as it's called in that market). It also features a cool split saddle, which has made a resurgence in markets outside the US for the past few years. You can also still find it for sale in other small-displacement-happy motorbike markets like Vietnam, and close relatives like the Cross Cub 110 in China and the Super Cub 110 in Japan.
If you're a Super Cub fan in the US, how do you feel about this news? Are you sad to see it go, or will you just seek out a used one next time you're in the market for the bike you meet the nicest people on? Let me know in the comments, and if you're of the mind, be sure to pour one out for what's certainly one of the friendliest moto shapes ever on two wheels.
