Honda's finally bringing back the first bike I ever had. 

http://www.foxnews.com/auto/2018/06/08/honda-super-cub-best-selling-vehicle-all-time-returns-to-usa.html

Mine was worn out when I got it in 66 but for a kid it was as good as a chopper.

Loved the misprint on the Monkey,  “chrome bumpers”.

Good for Honda. It looks cool.  I can see some winter and summer trailer retirement areas, and lake areas and campground folks might add this to their golf cart travel.  Would be great for college students also.  At 125 cc it should be able to go close to 65 mph and a 100 mpg or more.   Right now one can get a PCX 150 that is comfortable and gets 100 mpg in the 3500 price range and they do not sell many in the states.

for 3500 you can get a real nice motorcycle used.  Even seen honda pcx150 go for 2 grand near new and better ergos and faster am sure.

All cool stuff & hope they are successful sellers. I myself would love to see the return of the CT70. I had a blue 1972. I honestly don’t know if the oil was ever changed or checked, but that thing just wouldn’t die. GREAT kid memories riding the trails! — thanks dad
