NEW DIRTY BASTARD. K-Speed?s Hip Hop Honda Super Cub Scrambler
Written by Andrew Jones
Then ?Joey Boy,? the Thai Rap superstar, told local custom shop K-Speed what he wanted. ?Can you build me a Honda Super Cub scrambler"? he asked" A friend of the shop and a coach on Thailand’s own ?The Voice? reality TV series, Joey had seen a previous K-Speed Super Cub build and had set his mind on an off-road version. Being a fan of the outdoors and a big motocross nut, it made sense. Well, kind of. Needless to say, what the Thai Rap Superstar wants, the Thai Rap Superstar gets, and Joey got this very cool, very ?out-of-the-box? 2018 Super Cub. I swear, some days these stories just write themselves.
Asked to help launch the new 2018 Cub locally by Honda Thailand, the previous K-Speed Super Cub build that Joey had spotted was the result of that rather fruitful shop/brand collaboration. And as if that wasn’t reward enough it’s also resulted in this, a second (and arguably more innovative) Cub build. It’s also interesting to note Honda’s new-found enthusiasm for the custom scene, both with the cub and for bikes like their new CMX range. Better late than never, we say.
And don’t go turning your nose up at the good ol? underbone Cub, either. While we’re not expecting it to steal any thunder from the CB’s long and proud custom history, the 2018 range would probably find its way into your garage and under your butt if you happened to end up in any large South East Asia city for an extended stint...
