HONDA SUPER CUB: 'Park and Ride'

[kirkbutler12]

This video is a favorite on Nassau

[astroboirap]

yeah this is really gay :s why are you wearing goggles for something that cant go more than 30-40 mph you douchebag

[theschizoidman]

@astroboirap Hey, you ever get hit with a cicada in the eye at even 20 kph? Can mess you up, dude. Anyway, I had a Honda C50 that hit 95 kph on flat roads that's over 55mph. Anything at speed can blind you. Also, why the piss poor attitude, dude? And name calling? Clearly you are mentally ill. Seek medical attention before it's too late. Just checked your channel, yo. Hip hop wannabe poser, from the UK, no less? Lol! Hilarioius. I hope he doesn't delete your comment. It shows your inferiority.

[humbleradio]

@astroboirap I think I'll take the other poster's advice and leave your comment up so others can enjoy, too. ;)

[tehatemachine]

i wish they still sold these in the US! just in the more MODERN version (wave or innova) to adapt towards american tastes. Since we like modern stuff. 

[zorropup21]

Oh yea, what is that tank looking thing on top of the leg guard on your bike? Haven't seen that before on a cub.

The way the camera shakes when you ride makes me think that you filmed those parts one handed! If so, looks great!

[humbleradio]

@zorropup21 Yup, filmed it all myself. Ain't easy, using throttle hand only to stabilize and turn and use turn signals (they're on the right hand side). Still, it was a lot of fun. Thanks for the positive words. We appreciate it, especially with so much hating going on lately.

[zorropup21]

This video is so relaxing. Makes me wish I was back in Tokyo... I miss it. Back home after studying abroad now tho. Those things were everywhere!

This video convinced me to have my first motorcycle be an old barn find Honda Passport C70 Deluxe (and the price was right). I have to say that every time I work on it or ride it around, this video and song pop into my mind, that and your super dream video too. Awesome bike man!

Do the newer model cubs have a manual clutch? Just wondering.

[bryan2697]

I have a Honda 50 but no helmet no insurance no road tax no mirrors on it no windscreen and until a few weeks ago no battery

[JetSetDiva]

Awesome video!! SC's rock

[alexsuchapimp]

this is really gay

[humbleradio]

@alexsuchapimp then why did you favorite it and hit 'like'? Maybe don't display your recent activity on your channel page. Just a suggestion.

cheers

[EpiDemic117]

@humbleradio he was trolling, which is what everyone does on teh internets. best thing to do is not take anything serious from anyone. Otherwise it starts an entire flaming debate. or simply to ignore.

[JetSetDiva]

@alexsuchapimp lol...pwned

[rickrussell]

Dang, I would pay cash money for a 480p version of this. Upload a fresh copy!

[humbleradio]

@rickrussell You're a madman! ;)

[hattifnat]

なんかこの動画いいね。カブ欲しくなった。あと「ヨコハマ買い出­し紀行」と「水曜どうでしょう」思い出した。決めた来年にはカブ­買おう。そして旅に出よう。

[humbleradio]

@hattifnat いい、ね！

[tehatemachine]

@hattifnat wow google translate messes all of the words up in a sentence. So i had to rearrange them all in my head. And they are great for adventures!

[Kaspart1]

I have two "" Excellent scooter¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[humbleradio]

@Kaspart1 Great!!

But remember, it's not a scooter!!!

It's a Super Cub (or Business bike, as Honda classifies it). Not a scooter and don't let anyone tell you it is. And it's definitely not a moped! haha.

[perfectperfecto]

This guys face is pissing me off!

[humbleradio]

@perfectperfecto gee thanks. i love you, too! lol.

[perfectperfecto]

@humbleradio No hard feelings! :P If that's your vid, it's great. Cub looks awesome. 3 speed is it?

[humbleradio]

Thanks. Well, my bike is set up for the street, but yes, they can and do go anywhere.

[Cringle84]

Great commercial, Great bike. I have the trail version, CT90. One thing is, does not show the off road capabilities of what the cub is really cabaple of, they go anywhere where the BMW super off road enduro bikes go at the fraction of the price.

[ralphKNS]

This is such an awesome ad, and I love the Super Cub. I don't think you can even get them in the United States, which really sucks. Do they have a gear shifter, but an automatic clutch? Or is it all automatic?

[humbleradio]

@ralphKNS Thanks. It's an automatic clutch/pedal system. There's no clutch release, it's built into the shift pedal. Not automatic.

[humbleradio]

@EpiDemic117 Do they? You sure about that? Honda doesn't allow rebranding of their products, especially the Cub, which Honda recognizes as the little seed that grew the big tree. ;) You aren't thinking of the Taiwanese bike Symba?

[EpiDemic117]

@humbleradio Oh sorry. That was a few days back before i actually researched it. Yes it is a knock off. Just like the Sym. i REALLY wish they'd sell the new ones with Fuel injection here! If so I'd buy one in a heart beat! monthly payments on it would probably be like 60 bucks. I also Just got a 60's trail 90 today. Need to find exhaust and parts for it...

[EpiDemic117]

@humbleradio I mean. they REALLY need to bring the cub back to the states! just imagine how well it would sell when gas gets retarded with price. and they are extremely practical and convenient! i saw the newer ones from japan. They get a little fuel gauge, PGM-FI, and a bunch of neat little extras aded in the mix including a little bit more modern of a body style for the 21 century. They also have the wave which is sold in Mexico that is basically a cub with a different frame. but same engine.

[humbleradio]

@humbleradio no. you don't want the fuel injection model. They came out in '08 and the tinkering quotient is way down on those for obvious reasons. Also, the plastic add-on on the handlebar fairing looks out of place, as does the exhaust cover which looks and is cheap. Also, I've seen screws on those models already rusted. Mine's a '04. Not garaged nor covered. It's fine six years later and 20k later. You can check out some more details on that on my adventures of a super cub blog.

[hazelnalyn]

Mr. Humbleradio, i love all your videos. May i ask where you bought the side mirrors? Thanks

[humbleradio]

@hazelnalyn Thanks a bunch. I made them, actually. ;)

[TheTukunehito]

日本での撮影ですね！

[0urGaia]

Great video. Scooters are great, so cheap they almost run off the smell of an oily rag. I'm in thailand and its not uncommon to see family of 5 on a scooter. I recently got a honda and just love my iron horse.

[strapamotortoit]

all of my friends from school are wanting to buy brand new 2500 pound bikes from the dealer. why? why fork out over 10 times as much money when you can buy a c50. lets face it, your not going to out do everything on the road no matter what 50cc you get when your 16, so why bother? honda c50 will be my first bike, ive got 9 months untill im 16, cant wait.

[humbleradio]

I get more stares and thumbs up at the local bike super store when I cruise in than all the Ducatis, Harleys and gawd knows what roll in. That tells ya something. Don't even get me started on the chics that compliment my bike. "Kakoii!!"

[strapamotortoit]

nice, not to mention, the engines are bomb proof and have so much potential for tuning.

[humbleradio]

There ya go.

[rickrussell]

@strapamotortoit I daresay, with that attitude, you can look forward to many years of safe and exciting motorcycling. Unlike your friends, who will likely get frustrated and give up motorcycling before they turn 30.

[humbleradio]

Hello Cub fans.

I don't usually warn people about other sites, but since this involves the Super Cub I had to make an exception.

Here's my advice: Avoid ScooterNews. If you are looking for accurate info about the Cub ( and I have to assume other bikes as well) Stay away from ScooterNews. He gets it wrong and then deletes opposing views. Well, it's really my fault, since I should have known better from the start when I saw he was calling the Cub a scooter. Gotta stick up for the Little Honda!

[hellspawndarkangel]

anyone know what city this is filmed in

[humbleradio]

In and around Koganei, Mitaka, Fuchu cities in Tokyo, Japan

[hellspawndarkangel]

very tidy bike

[humbleradio]

Thanks.

[ATeam125]

yay 100th rater

[humbleradio]

Yeah!

[wegface1989]

Love this video so much! Love the ELO love the Cub!

Thanks for this video sir :)

[humbleradio]

My pleasure.

[forest2563]

カブか、、、

世界で愛されてるカブか。。

[humbleradio]

そうです、ね！

[forest2563]

THANK U ,,UR COMMENT =)

[Diorama42]

Few questions. a) How much did you pay for the Cub? I live in Nishi-tokyo and was wondering how much a beat-up (but working) cub would set me back. b) Did you take the 50cc moped license? If so how was the test etc?

[humbleradio]

Oh, hi. I just found this here. I think I responded to you on the blog site, right? Same guy?

Cheers.

[Diorama42]

Yep, same guy haha :)

[scyhk]

Good vid and a nice bike :D

[superhappywish]

What a great video! made me smile! I wish i was back in Japan... and you know what? Im off to ebay to look at cubs!!

Great work!

[humbleradio]

Good luck!

[humbleradio]

I just went and watched the extremely poor ad for Super Cub by Honda. The one where the smug voice over says their aim is to make the cub disappear and make something better.

Good grief, what an awful message. Judging by the 'evolution' they've given the cub, their aim will come soon.

[WMEC38]

Do you still live in Japan? I live in Tochigi and ride my cub to work. It's the funnest part of my day. I can't wait to get off work so I can ride my cub home.

[humbleradio]

I do, indeed. Just did some shooting today of the cub, in fact. Hopefully have time after the holidays to put something together and up online here. You can see a lot more pics of this cub and other bikes on my blog. I try to get pics of cubs and other cool bikes whenever I can. So, picasa is filling up w/ digital imagery. ;)

[humbleradio]

and now facebook! ;) There's a fan page there someone started. join in!

[Reinpret]

Say Humbleradio and all other Cub owners, do you think a old model like that would be ok for a guy my size? im 6'7, 300Lbs? i hear it can handle that kind of weight no problem, but from one owner to a potential buyer? thanks.

[humbleradio]

Well, i'd say no. Not really for the weight, since if you get a 70 or 90 should be fine. Even the 50 is made to haul stuff, so.

But I'd be more worried about your legs on the pegs. You might feel very cramped at 6'7. I'm 6' and my legs feel the need for a stretch after not too long. I was thinking of moving the pegs either forward or rearward to make it more comfortable. Maybe someday.

Any others want to input?

[Reinpret]

thanks for the reply. I suspected my suspicions were correct about hauling my fat ass around. Is there somewhere on the frame or else where where maybe new pegs can be put forward, like the chopper riders do for highway riding to put your legs up?

[humbleradio]

If you've got the tool, I think they can be customized.

[sugar888]

simple is best... makes me wanna go out and ride again.

[pjinwales]

*moist eyed*

truly the greatest motorcycle ever made

[rickrussell]

And quite possibly the greatest motorcycle video ever made as well.

[TrailCub]

**LOVE** this video - makes me want to go for a ride and feel that sweet, sweet freedom!!

"It's not a big motorcycle, just a groovy little motorbike."

[humbleradio]

You got it, partner.

[humbleradio]

Thanks a bunch!

[csandste]

Just about everyone but the U.S. can get the Cub. I for one would like to relive my youth. Come on Honda, bring it in.

[takanopy]

Wonderfull. It captured the exact spirit of Honda Cub in my oppinion.

[humbleradio]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[q2u2boo]

As a motorcyclist and a film maker I fail to see why this film is any good. The bike is nice though (from what I can see from those shakey shot on video close ups).

[humbleradio]

It ain't easy holding a camera and riding a motorbike with an acceptable margin of safety! ;) There was no crew. It's all me.

I'll try to do better next time. Thanks for the input. But I generally regard negative criticism with a bit of skepticism until I've seen the work from the source. Your videos are where again?

[bourguignon54]

Indeed, it's fun & easy to customize a Honda Super Cub. Like that cool storage tank forward of the seat (available from Tokyodo in Tokyo, which has a website address). Ditto for replacing the original cheap-looking rearview mirrors, adding a double seat, a sportier exhaust, grips, leather bags, stiffer shock absorbers, etc. and best of all, it's super affordable to do it!

[rickrussell]

That was the best video I have ever seen about motorcycling. Also the best Honda Cub video, of course.

[birdman404]

love this video as im honda cub crazy but am still trying to get one so if theres any out there id love get in touch regards from ireland!

[ILOVESPEED25]

By far the best video I've seen! It actually puts you in a really good mood! Brilliant!

[humbleradio]

Hey, i just realized, this is you! haha.

[apexdna]

Beautifully done ...

[birdman404]

lovely bike unusal colour!!

[MrJohannVegas]

Simply put, one of the coolest videos on Youtube. Awesome song, awesome bike, awesome concept. Although, I kinda wish you had used the break for the reading section, then gone back into the outro for the second part of the riding. However, still excellently shot, edited, and scored.

[humbleradio]

Thanks for the input.

[datamus92]

Wooh i love this short film!!!

ive got a supercub c50 (1970)

id like to come in touch with other supercub owners!!

add msn jh6ig at hotmail dot com

[jsupra]

I've gained a lot of respect for the Honda Cub. I wonder what the music is in the background

[boo66]

"Mr. Blue Sky" by The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) about 1977.

I think it was on the Jet label.

[zeekraai]

i got c50 holland 1973

[mocotin]

Good job !

[lobstar7]

I like Cub!!

I want to accompany somewhere.

[tarosaku]

Fun! Fun! Fun!

I like it!

[nc29biker]

go Honda :)

[youtalonhardin]

I like, really like to have one!!! the vid shows how beautiful riding a bike could be without the adrenaline rush and things like that, just the simplest fun in riding a motorcycle/underbone... :) lovely

[yukke78]

Super Cub!!

[obijon2112]

The rider looks like Alex Lifeson of Rush....Kick Ass!!!

[obijon2112]

I got a 1961 Cub (C105T). They ROCK!!!

[humbleradio]

Way to go! Love that design!

About to embark on an Autumn ride short like the one above.

[obijon2112]

Almost got it road-ready...negotiating for the slim slotted-type exhaust...wish me luck. Would be nice to ride while listning to that E.L.O song, "Mr. Blue Sky"!!!

[subiejoe]

Forget hybrids, BAN all 4 wheelers. Save fossil fuel.

[tanpantu]

love overflows!

i like this one. thank you!
