Undoubtedly the most famous motorcycle ever built! Launched in 1958, and still in production today, Hondas C100 Super Cub was launched by the company in 1958, and mobilised Japan, and soon the rest of the World like nothing before.
Its 49cc four stroke overhead valve engine produced 4.3bhp at an incredible, for that time, 9500rpm. After years of smoky and noisy two stroke models from other manufacturers, this little four stroke jewel was an immediate sales success and profits from this model alone were more than enough to fund Hondas highly successful race programme.
After a production run of over 20,000,000, the Step Through evolution and ongoing success of the worlds most famous motorcycle looks set for another few million sales, especially to developing countries where reliability, simplicity and easy to obtain spares are more important than modern style and speed.
