I have a confession to make, and it's one that may surprise you if you've been reading RideApart for a long time. Are you ready? As of the time of writing, I have yet to ever own a Honda Super Cub. (I know!)
To be totally fair, it's not like I haven't considered it. The new ones are lovely, of course, but I've also thought that getting something like an older Super Cub or a Dream or Benly would be great, just because they'd be relatively simple project bikes to work on.
But instead, I found myself dog-that-caught-the-car-ing with my 1985 VF500F. Oops. (I swear my carbs are going back together soon....)
And as I broke the news to you earlier this year, the Super Cub 50 is about to be discontinued forever in Japan. While that doesn't mean all Super Cubs are going away, the 50 is special because it's the longest-running version, and that displacement has been around since the beginning.
So Honda did what Honda does, and is releasing a Super Cub 50 Final Edition in Japan. The colorway reflects the original, from the very first time that the Super Cub 50 was introduced to the world back in 1966.
