New Honda Cub .

[anto]

Just saw one today at Big Wing Chiang Mai .B44,000 standard with extras advailable .It looks really cute and retro .Anyone buy one and what do you think of it ?It has a 110 cc engine with drum brakes front and back .Handy that the rear suspension has a lever adjustment for passanger .

Really? Cause I was excited when I heard about it, but saddened when I saw it. It's only a cub in name. a 12v 125cc swapped KA will run you less than the new one, look better, and you can throw on a front disc easily.

Guess thats why its called "Dream Super Cub". Looks like a "Dream" made retro. I wold prefer a Ryuka or even a Tiger "Cub".

One of these

Or one of these?

I think that they could have made it more retro looking ( by putting old style blinkers for one ) yet kept the front disc brake .

I am still thinking of buying one though ,as a back up bike .

No, i was talking about the Tiger Retro and the Ryuka Retro. Not sure about the names.

I am in a honda dealer now to put back stock parts to cbr250 and between honda dream and new honda cub, there is really no difference. Both same.

Only difference is the stickers and name.

I liked new honda cub. Thinking of replacing my old wave 125 x with it.

What's the marketing thought here? It has a retro look, kind of funky but, is this any more than just different plastic?

I think its just a way of making extra monery .It sells for about B5000 more than the Dream ,then they sell accesories to go with it to also make money .

Well all this retro is ok if it has something practical to offer other than just a fake retro look. The club cross looks smart but if intended to use off road as in up muddy lanes then the why no clearance between front tyre and mud guard. Also it needs a proper clutch..

CTs have been used as off road bikes in Australia for a long time now.

Plenty of off road clips.

I would love one of these Xclubs but don't think they will ever see Australia unless OZ Post starts buying them.

loserlazer, you really like the cub? It has drum brakes at frond and rear! You once or twice or many times told us how bad drum brakes are and that you always prefer discs

[loserlazer]

wantan if it is a cub, everything is possible

i never said i do not use a bike with drum brakes, just do not prefer still for cub, i am ok for everything.

Thats OK, i like the Dream too, you know i prefer cheap, simple bikes. My neighbour has an old Dream. Maybe 10-15 years old, maybe older. The old Dream looked really good imo. Better than nowadays.
