New bikes are cool, but if there’s one thing that most motorcycle enthusiasts can agree upon, it’s the intangible wonder that comes from bikes with a past. These can come from many directions, and perhaps none might be as special or sentimental as a bike that’s been handed down in your family for generations. Since Honda has been making its Super Cubs for over 60 years, and over 100 million have been sold worldwide, getting your hands on one that your grandpa used to ride is probably not that uncommon.
This isn’t your average stock Super Cub restoration, though. Instead, what we have here is an object lesson in that old adage about how every specialty sees the world through a certain lens. See an engine tuner, and they’re going to want to get right to work on the engine. See a body shop, and they’re going to go absolutely HAM on that classic Super Cub silhouette. (Does that count as a spoiler? Nah, we didn’t give you the details!)
