It's a scooter

Riding mine around Salt Lake City hilly & mountainous terrain I average 154mpg with side stand, luggage rack, saddle bag frames with Chase Harper saddle bag. This bike is very stable at any speed but the engine likes 45mph for its happiest pace. I have ridden up to 60 but it is not smiling at that speed. Make her last. Chain tension is a frequently checked item. Get a sprocket alignment tool.

Super Cubs have never been scooters. Full size wheels, a frame mounted (as opposed to swingarm) engine, and a transmission with gears. It's a motorcycle. Always has been. and 60mph and a 100+mile range is plenty to do distance. And it's comfortable enough too. That said, I like the rest of the review!

You are right but none of those things have anything to do with it not being a scooter. A scooter is just a lightweight, motorized vehicle with a flat footboard and usually an open frame. The bike has a more open frame but it has pegs. Therefor it is a motorcycle but it has always been a scooter-like motorcycle.

@@SirNarax yes it is an underbone motorcycle, but not all scooters have flat floors for instance the Honda PCX and many others have a similar design to underbone motorcycles. Underbone motorcycles usually have larger wheels than scooters but again there are large wheeled scooters like Honda’s Sh125 or the Piagio Medley. The main difference between scooters and underbone motorcycles is that the engine is hung from the frame in an underbone and fixed to the rear wheel on a scooter. Either way both are practical and the Subercub is the most produced motorised vehicle in history though the ridiculous plans to ban ice engined motorcycles 125cc and under will mean they cease to be available new in the U.K. in a few years.

Top speed 55-60 mph good enough for ANY back country roads trips.

Please get your facts right. The Super Cub has always had two clutches. One is the centrifugal clutch which you mention. The other is a conventional clutch (with friction plates). This one is not actuated by a lever on the handlebars. Instead it is actuated by the gear lever. As you press the gear lever you actually disengage the clutch. After selecting the gear the clutch re-engages as you take pressure off the gear lever. It does perhaps give the impression of there not being a clutch. Believe me there is - it is on the parts diagram and, like most clutches, needs adjustment from time to time.

Several people have ridden these across the country. 3 just this last week in fact.

I have been riding Dukes and Triumphs for years. I also had a Cub a few years back and it is the ultimate beach buddy. I bought the new one and am loving it. It's a motorbike, btw.

You can absolutely take this across the country. People take 50 cc scooters from Alaska to Argentina.. Or what about from Singapore to Portugal? Just bought a long seat for it. So much more comfortable! My son and I are taking it camping next weekend.

nice video but a) it's not a scooter b) it has a clutch, just no clutch lever as usual and c) many people take cubs on long trips around the world in fact

1. It’s not a scooter 2. It does have a clutch, just not a clutch lever. It’s called a centrifugal clutch. 3. There is never a brake lever on the left hand side. These bikes are very common in Europe where not everyone is obsessed with horsepower. The older versions of this bike from the 70’s and 80’s can still be seen and are becoming highly desirable. Please do your research..

But sometimes I want to hop on and go and not worry about it getting dinged or scratched in a parking lot. The motorcycle is my open road long range scout. This super cub would be great for running errands around town or commuting back and forth to work short distances. Grab a helmet and go.

Good luck trying to find one at the MSRP. They're jacking these things up in price at the dealerships and it's because of the gas crunch. You'll be hard pressed to find one.

Been Supermoto Racing on a Honda CRF450 and Drag raced my Ninja, but I have to say these smaller bikes are way more fun fun fun! I currently own a Vespa GTS300 and recently bought a Supercub! I had a few (c90) in the 1980's when I was an angry teen racing around the woods in Kent Uk! These smaller machines are so much fun and you keep your licence! Let's face it, with so many camera's, speed humps, volume of traffic and cost - big CC/speed Bikes are not the way to go - IMO! I recently did a tour of Cornwall and Devon with my Mrs on her GTS125! We did not touch a Motorway or Dual Carriageway (A little bit) in 4 days and 815 Miles! We had an absolute blast and see everything as we chugged around at a top speed of 50mph!

another plus of theL E D lighting is many manufacturers. Did not up grade the charging systems on their bikes to keep up the battery riding full time with the older style headlights in the 1980s I had several Motorcycles that just constantly drained the battery ,luckily one happened to be a Kawasaki that did have a Electric start and a kick start on it so I could usually kick the Bike over to get it running and ride it home to put the battery on a charger FYI the bike ran like crap with a low battery I also had abig Honda that only had a electric starter and was too heavy to get a Push Start on her unless you had several people both bikes were in Factory Specs so the Dealers did nothing to resolve the issue I did actually isolate the headlamp with a switch so I could ride in daylight hours with it off if a Cop pulled me over I just acted like I forgot to turn it on and showed him that it operated as prior to that time we only ran with headlights in the dark I think the law changed in 1980 or 81
