This Custom Honda Cub Has Adjustable Ride Height, and All the Brake Calipers

As the most popular, most sold motorbike in history by numbers, chances are excellent that you're familiar with the Honda Super Cub. But did you know that Honda also released a number of special variants over the decades? I'm talking about more than just special commemorative badges and new paint and graphics, also.

Take, for example, the News Cub, which was later re-imagined into the Press Cub. Their names tell you exactly who they were meant for: Hardcore newspaper delivery riders.

Extra large baskets and/or panniers, reinforced carriers to take all the extra weight of hundreds of printed newspapers, more powerful brakes, and a more robust side stand to handle it all were key upgrades to these models.
