Honda launches the 2018 Super Cub with a K-Speed custom
The Honda Super Cub truly is super. It’s been in production for six decades, and in that time 100 million units have rolled off the line. What’s more, it was the ad for the Super Cub that originally launched the iconic slogan, ‘You meet the nicest people on a Honda.’
The Super Cub’s design has gradually modernized over the years, but the new 2018 model takes cues from the original, for a more retro look. In stock form the 109cc, fuel-injected scoot mixes old school charm with modern tech, being equipped with drum brakes and LED lighting.
The 2018 Super Cub goes on sale in Thailand today?and into production in a Thai factory. (Honda builds the Super Cub in numerous factories around the globe).
To mark the occasion, Honda Thailand handed the crew at K-Speed a new Super Cub last month, and gave them just 30 days to build something special.
?We call this bike ‘Super Power Cub’,? our contact at K-Speed tells us. ?The concept for this bike is modern retro?so we combined new style, like the LED turn signals, with vintage style; wing-shaped handlebars, ?sawtooth? tires and finished in classic matt black and white. And still keeping the iconic part?the lower fairing.?
The new Super Cub looks so good out the box that we wouldn’t know what to do with it, but K-Speed have knocked this one out the park. It reminds us of a French Bulldog; it looks like it wants to brawl, but it’s actually quite cute.
The biggest visual change...
