- Welcome to Éire Rider Motorcycle Adventures my name is Ben,
In this video we will be looking at the 2023 Honda C125 Super Cub First look and Review
Firstly we will be looking at a quick look at the bike and finding out: what art and this bike have in common. I have also included some questions in the video which i hope you will participate in.
Check the chapters in the time line if you want to skip ahead. The Honda C125 Super Cub is priced at €4799 in Ireland. Check with your country dealer if you are outside of Ireland.
Here are some of the features of the Honda Super Cub -
Universal style
A subtle evolution of the classic clean and timeless Super Cub style. The Super Cub 125 is designed with one word in mind; universality. In other words, it has to be easy for a wide range of people to use. A key part of this ethos is the laid-forward ‘S-shaped silhouette’, which runs from the step-through space to rear mudguard, making access on and off easy.
LED
All lighting is contemporary and crisp LED while the instruments highlight the depth of the overall design with two lenses separated by dual chrome rings; the outer ring houses the sweep of the analogue speedometer’s needle plus warning lights, the inner an understated, digital display.
Pressed Steel
Parts of the Super Cub are made in pressed steel, in particular the rear guard is ultra-thin - and made of pressed steel rather than plastic - to help emphasize the classic ‘S-shape’ silhouette.
Comfortable
Easy to use, with comfortable riding position and smooth, stable handling. A key element of Super Cub from the first model is the ‘unit’ steering, which unifies the separate elements - forks, handlebars and leg shields - into one cohesive whole. The new model - with its forged, tapered handlebar wrapped in curvaceous moulded resin incorporating the switchgear and instruments - mirrors this motif.
Easy Grip
The grips are placed in a natural, easy to hold position and complement the straight-backed riding position, which gives excellent forward and all-round visibility.
High density comfort
Aiding comfort, the seat uses thicker, high-density urethane foam than previous models for enhanced comfort and is also cut back on both sides up front, helping ground reach.
Smart Key
A modern finishing touch is the Honda Smart Key; put it in a pocket and forget about it, the Super Cub C125 is live and good to go. And, with a nod to its forebears (and underlining its Honda history) a historical 3D ‘Old Wing’ logo crowns the Smart Key fob.
Immobiliser
The Smart Key also controls the immobiliser as an extra theft deterrent, and is equipped with an ‘answer back’ function whereby the indicators will ‘blink’ at the push of a button to make finding the vehicle easy in busy parking areas.
Balance and ease of use
To maintain its reassuring nature, but upgrade it for the 125cc specification, the Super Cub C125 started with the C110 tubular steel ‘backbone’ frame as a base. The rigidity balance has been tuned around the headstock and engine hangers, to optimise performance for the larger capacity engine while handlebars and seat are now rubber mounted. The footpegs also feature rubber inserts.

THE HONDA CUB is just plain brilliant engineering for a small cc commuter bike and its historic reliability and easy service is a lesson I wish honda would carry forward to a new 400cc Twin cub using the forward horizontal fwd cylinder for improved cooling the plastic body fairing for those cold wet rides in winter. I hope Honda gives us a new USA market cub with all the brilliant engineering of the small cc cub in a new larger faster one for USA long highspeed roads.
Couldn't agree more. I believe there is a trail version but it's not available in Ireland which is a pity. It is also one of a few bikes displayed in a museum during the Art of The motorcycle event at the Guggenheim museum.
A neat runaround with extras. What's not to like.
Haha yes definitely. Do you think the super cub design was evolution or revolution in the new C125?
It's a fine balance between the two. I'd have to ride it to decide.
@@brownh66 thanks for your comment. Much appreciated
Yes the C125 is a work of motorcycle art, and a lot of fun too. The original cub was revolutionary - just the clutch was an engineering gem in itself. It incorporated a centrifugal clutch that connected around 2500 rpm, a normal manual disengage connected to the gear shift pedal, a centrifugal oil filter, and a slipper clutch all in one small package.
Ahead of its time back then and one serous marketing campaign! Thanks for sharing
Bike was revolutionary in 1958!
Absolutely
Love my Cub. I see a lot of hate for the matte black, but it's exactly the color I wanted. I ran some red pin-striping from the front fender and all along the sweeping curves of the body to the rear fender, it really added something that it was missing. I bought a windshield, side bags, a rear carrier, now it looks like a mini touring bike. I'm going to do a front sprocket swap this summer, going from a 14t to a 15t sprocket. It means a bit slower takeoff, but it'll draw out the RPM's more and I'll be able to hit 55-60MPH without the engine hitting almost 7K RPM. It'll also improve my gas mileage by about 10%, which will be nice as I'm already averaging 126mpg.
awesome. nice upgrade and it stretches the fuel consumption too. I do like some of the brighter colours. the red and white is nice. more classic.
@@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure Agreed! I like the colors too and if I get a chance to get another, I'll get all the shiny colors!
@@cujoedaman hehe... Wouldn't it be great to have a garage full of bikes 😁
The 2024 Super Cub retails for $3,899 in the US. A lot less than 4,800 Euro!
Wow that is cheap!
Yes its evolved through time with better technologies but keeping it simple as was the early bikes , i had a few mates that used the Honda 50cc & 90cc models for work , they never let them down and they where used day in day out in all weathers summer and winter , great little bikes , obviously better with the 125cc engine , but would like to see the Honda Trail in the U K , must admit they do seem a bit costly considering other bikes which are a bit more powerful, but it does speak for itself and it depends what you want the bike for . Thanks for the review. 😊
Thanks Carl. The Super Cub is one of those bikes with. Wealth of history and is loved by many. It's a pity it doenst get more attention nowadays and hence why I wanted to make this video. In relation to pricing what would you pay for something that is a bit of a legend and displayed in a museum. It's onky true competitor is the Vespa in my opinion. A Bike that doesn't have the same level of history or social impact as the Super Cub. It is also more expensive.
I really love it, but it is not practical, lack of a storage could be solved by Honda to provide some original hard panniers to attach. Or maybe some big funny basket.there is no storage even for a first aid kit.
Lol I know. I looked under the seat and there was no space. Cases would be a good idea. Thanks
Storage is easily solved with a set of side bags with some mounting brackets, the rear cargo carrier and an extended cargo carrier off the rear. I've had my Cub opened up and the reason they don't have storage space is because there is literally nowhere for it.
The blue or red colour ones are lovely whats with the matt black 😢. I went to local dealership, he told me can only get it in matt black
Yeah those colours are really nice. Would of been more iconic.
Yes let us see.
Thanks
It's the best selling vehicle of all time over 100 million sold-why change it? I want a scooter or a minimoto to take up camping here in Quebec.
That would be something. Let me know how you get on. Yeah it's an icon now.
Navi has bad brakes, Monkey, Grom, CF Moto 125, Piafggio 150 Liberty, not sure what bike to get.
Safety is key. Go for a bike that has quality and a good reputation. Good service network is key too
It is cool. But not my cup of tea. Thanks brother. I would like to restore one of the old ones.
Thanks Cain. There is a possibility of having the new and old super cub in a future video. What do you think?
Only big issue I have with it is an owner told me the battery case is tight and he can't get a tender in it.
What will he do?
Sure you can, you run your tender leads from the battery up to the seat. Make sure it's one of those quick disconnect types and you won't have an issue.
@@cujoedaman I sat on a Honda Giorno last week-I was schocked. Not possible to steer, knees 3-4 inches over the bar-way too small! Need ape hangars!
@@johndefalque5061 I watched a vid of a guy who was like 6'4" and he had the same problem on the Cub, but he says it's one of the most fun bikes he's ever ridden
Does it only come in black in Europe?
Yeah for some strange reason it's only 1 colour here in Ireland.
@@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure yeah kinda crazy. I'm in Waterford ,went to local dealership he only has that Matt black.in my heart I want the Honda 125ct trail but can't get them here also. So bizarre, oh well. Matt black it is then 🤟
@@keithdouglas9848 they should of offered the other colours as you can get them in other countries.
Totally agree, it's strange but it is what it is I guess. Are you gonna do a review on the monkey. I'm undecided between the cub or the monkey? @@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure
5069 dollars
Conversion to USD?
@@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure yes
They are great and iconic bikes...grey does it no favours. The 2019 blue ones are much better looking,!. Its evolution of course.
@@garyiliff5465 i agree. I much prefer the red or the blue with the white contrast. I'll be sure to look out for one. Thanks for watching. I'll be publishing the art of the motorcycle segment of this video shortly in case you missed it.
