Terrific video Nick, brought back happy memories of Colonsay. Such a lovely antidote to the top heavy 'adventure' brigade. Simple is best, many of us are coming to that way of biking/touring - power to your elbow - the Cub outrageously shows whats possible. Good travels pal

Brilliant, fellow super Cub tourer from Devon UK. Brilliant adventure and touring bikes.

I don't know , but I'm sure I know who he is and where he stays, it's such a small island it's not hard to work out . Your Italian friend who has the c90 was my old bike, I recognized the reg plate on your video and unknow to him, that c90 has been round Scotland more times than we have prime ministers in the last 5 years, many thanks, happy riding, and say Hi to my lovely old C90, it should out live me, lol.

Cubs are brilliant for the roads in Scotland small and light they can squeeze past oncoming traffic on single track roads and still gets 120mpg fully loaded, I used mine for a trip in June with Applecross pass a real doddle, no problems with the hairpins on such a light bike. Back again in 2023 to do Dunnet Head and Ardnamurchan Point as part of a four extreme points of mainland UK tour of the UK, camping again but on sites on my Rebel 1100 so no nipping past I'll have to wait like the other bikes did in June and only about 45mpg so a big difference. After watching your vid of I think I might start planning for 2024 those islands look ideal for the cub again wild camping.

I see you're on a Honda CB500X, I've just sold mine this year, only had it for year but I have to many bikes, I had to free up some space, but if I had to pick one bike that done it all, it would probably be the CB500X, great value all round.

Great scenery and lovely photographs. Did you suffer any fuel anxiety. I have an early C90 which has a larger tank but I guess the economy isn’t as good as this one. I think I might still buy a Super Cub one day as 60 cruising is a lot better than 45. It also looks like you have a seat pad ?

I've currently got a Honda C70 with a 110cc engine in it. I find that its far too slow to do these sorts of distances - where I can only drive up to 50mph it feels unsafe. What sort of speed does your super cub do? Do you find that its enough to keep up with traffic in 60 zones?

@nfinnigan

11 ай бұрын

Hi, I find when I'm on the cub I don't need to keep up with anyone, I go my own speed and enjoy the ride. I will cruse at 50mph for long distances, and if I need to get pass someone, I will try stretch it up to 60mph at a push. If you want to give it max power all the time you should manage to keep up with the traffic in 60 zones, but I wouldn't bother trying to keep up, just let everyone follow the Cub. LOL
