The Honda Super Cub C125 carries the name of the best selling motor vehicle in history, a lineage stretching back more than 60 years, into the present day with barely a compromise to its original charm. It remains one of the most trusted small motorcycles ever built, and the C125 brings that heritage fully up to date without losing what made the original special in the first place. Generations of riders around the world have relied on the Cub for genuinely dependable, low cost transport, and that reputation still holds true today.
An air cooled 124cc single cylinder engine, with a 50mm by 63.1mm bore and stroke and a 10.0 to 1 compression ratio, produces a modest 7.2kW at 7,500rpm and 10.4Nm of torque at 6,250rpm, sent through a four speed gearbox with a semi automatic clutch, so there is no clutch lever to master, just a foot change and a twist of the throttle. It is tuned entirely for smooth, stress free rideability rather than outright speed, exactly as Super Cub owners have always wanted from the model.
A telescopic front fork and a twin shock swingarm at the rear keep the ride composed on typical town roads, while a 220mm front disc and a 110mm rear drum give simple, predictable stopping power. Tyres sized 70/90-17 and 80/90-17 suit the bike’s light, easy going character. At 111kg, with a 1,245mm wheelbase, it remains effortless to manage at a standstill, and a low 780mm seat height keeps it approachable for riders of nearly any height or experience level.
Authentic retro styling, true to every nut and bolt of the original, is paired with a comfortable pillion seat and footpegs for genuine two up use, and smooth riding suspension keeps things comfortable over longer trips than its size might suggest. A compact 3.7 litre tank and excellent fuel economy keep running costs to an absolute minimum. It suits riders who want honest, durable, low cost transport with real character, or a stylish, easy introduction to motorcycling.
