Sure makes you respect the reliability of the little Honda bikes.

They have been making some form of this engine and bike since the early 60's!

Who wants to get one and go on a trip with me? I guess you have to stay on the local roads so you can travel at speeds around 50 mph - which is where the test rider thought the bike was more relaxed.
Shocked

Not sure the US model of the Super Cub is as of road durable as the models used in the videos which appear to be more Adventure Bike models.

Reply #4 - 04/24/20 at 12:25:06 The horizontal single , 50 ,70 , 90 , 110 and now a 125 is well over 100,000,000 units sold worldwide making it the most popular motorcycle ever sold. That's right well over 100 million. I think I owned 5 or 6 back in the day. Makes me want a new one !

The slower speeds allow you to enjoy and actually see the countryside. Where as at 70 mph you have to pay more attention to stay alive. At 45/50 mph is a very relaxed pace , very enjoyable. I must be getting old. I used to always wanted to lead and get there first. I still love to go fast and ride the edge. But just think of everything you miss at 90 mph when all your attention is spent on staying focused !

I've never heard the term postie bike. Someone explain the name. At 60 years old this is my kind of racing , affordable. I need info. I had a black cm91e with a 3 speed that would do 71 mph with a springer front end and s & w rear shocks and flat track bars on it. Back then all 17" tires were junk , the tires were never trustworthy but that what makes it fun and separates the racers from the rest of the field. I need to find a event that's local , then build me Postie Bike. I still have 2 stacks of vintage number plates , somewhere.

The Australian mail carriers use those bikes to deliver mail. Postie is just a slang term for postal service bike.

Reply #13 - 04/26/20 at 04:32:05 As much fun as the VanVan might be....I believe a mid sized enduro motorcycle would be more practicable and get you more value. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX-qnwVtoMI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2a-sUdaNJ8

Reply #14 - 04/26/20 at 13:22:07 there is a channel on youtube about a guy riding a honda cub all over the americas for about 3 years. i think its called "c90adventures," it really gives me the itch to just go as i did something similar when young and miss the road.
