Black and white: Two Honda Super Cub customs by K-Speed
The fact that you can still buy a brand new Honda Super Cub today, more than six decades after it first launched, is pretty cool. But what’s even wilder is that the Super Cub hasn’t strayed much from its original look. It’s so iconic, that calling it a modern classic would be a gross understatement.
The Super Cub custom scene is just as enduring?and one outfit that stands head and shoulders above the rest is Thailand’s K-Speed. They have a knack for tweaking the popular ‘underbone’ enough to make it special, while still retaining some of its base aesthetic. K-Speed’s Cubs almost look like they could have been built by Honda themselves, in an alternate reality where the brand’s designers were a little more daring.
K-Speed has produced a staggering number of Super Cub customs to date. And since their primary business is parts manufacturing, they’ve got a laundry list of bolt-on bits for it too. Yet they still manage to find ways to put a fresh spin on it each time.
This latest iteration is laced with elements from previous K-Speed builds, but it ups the ante with custom bodywork that lends an art deco vibe to the Honda. The two bikes you see here are based on brand new 2022-model Super Cub 110i units, and are identical apart from their paint.
Grabbing the most attention are the Super Cub’s generous new fenders. They’re based on an idea that K-Speed’s founder, Eak, has had milling around in his head ...
