I can see immediately why it failed, its not street legal. If it had been, it would have been a runaway success like the later fat wheeled semi off road Piaggio Typhoon was in Europe in the late 90's. Off road only bikes is already a niche, so this is a Honda niche of a niche. So no shit it didn't sell. This was a failure of understanding the real demographics of who would buy this. A teenager who might occasionally taste dirt with it.

Nowadays we have the ADV and X-ADV models who are kind of a modern version of that,being the crossover between a Trailbike and a scooter.

Honda still makes a small "motocross" semi-automatic bike. Here in the Philippines, it's called XRM. Kind of a hybrid between an XR and a Cub. They've been in production since 2005.

My Dad bought a "Cub" brand new back in early 90's and used it as a pit and pushback bike for his drag bike, we still have it and it's been sitting for over 10 years. I think this winter I need to get it going again and get it as clean and rebuilt as possible...

If they put lights on it I feel like it might have sold better, that's at least one of the reasons the older CT series worked so well. You could cruise around the roads and then hit up the trails. You could go just about anywhere legally, especially if you lived outside a city. I remember that was one of the problems I faced with my '77 XL75, the previous owner had taken the lights off it, so I couldn't go on main roads without the police giving me problems. But my friends with their CT70 and ST90 could just cruise wherever as long as they didn't drive like maniacs.

Literally saw an ad for this thing in a random ass old magazine the day this video came out.

Guy I work with has one with around 500 miles on it, looks brand new. Won’t even price it to me lol and Honda still makes the off-road scooter today with the adv150 and that giant 750cc that we don’t get in North America

I love how it automatically comes in Chicago Cubs colors. You ride this thing around Wrigley and you are for sure getting free beers.

I remember seeing one for the first time at a Honda dealership back in the early 90's. It was quite futuristic looking and really cool. The rounded and fully covered look was extended to a lot of the equipment too such as the mowers and rototillers. The Honda stuff just looked lightyears beyond everything I had seen as a teenager. I later in life began to appreciate how well built Honda stuff is. Thanks for the nostalgia.

Love it. If it had a luggage rack option so you could go get groceries etc....

I like this bike, and owned bikes since 1983, my first being a Honda MB5. I regret selling it too. As for the EZ-Cub, this is the first time seeing it.

I got to demo ride one on a small dirt track at Americade one year. I have had lots of Trail 70's thru the years but I did love the way this cub worked as it was decidedly more powerful, fun, and better suspended than my old Trail 70's.

The Honda CT70 and CT90 were the greatest all around bikes ever, the Cub and Rukus are a close second.

just started my ez90 build, love these things!

Those bareheaded kids in the commercial made the teen part of me smile and the father & grandfather parts of me wince and look away at the same time. Funny how time and age change one's perspective. Great video, BTW!

Cubs rocked! I grew up 2 lots down from our local Honda shop, and Dave the owner used to let me [as a little kid] come over, hang out, check out all of the new lineups - And put around on the Cub[s] I remember them like it was yesterday.. Then again.. I also remember them boxing up all of their 3-wheelers and sending them off to their doom.. Damn.. I wish I could put that one out of my memory for good..

We had the 50cc version of this in Italy. Very rare indeed.

Early 90s for me... there was such a variety and 2 strokes were at their prime... Then there were the 400 v4 hondas... 400 inline 4s... The banshee was born...

Amazing channel I've just found, vintage images are pure magic nostalgia. Two thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼.

I have never had an idea that this bike ever existed...😮 I am so amazed! As for the new bikes in 2023 you know better than me: everything new is a well forgotten old. Pioneers from Honda- for sure. Thank for the video and the research you did.

These are such a classic little thing. I’ve had my eye on these for 20 years

My grandparents had this as a get around bike when they traveled in their RV. It was my first introduction into off road bike! It holds many happy memories!

The EZ90 was the reason i went into design. Thank you Honda, for so much inspiration.

Would absolutely love to see ya get your silver and even gold play button man. You make really high quality and in depth content

I remember commercials for the cub. I wanted one so bad but my dad said "i need beer"

Honda can make the weirdest things sometimes. But everything they make is basically awesome 👍

The new Honda ADV 150 has the same DNA as the Ezcub. This time came in solid and is a hit sales

I remember these back in the day they were cool little bike's, to tell you the truth I'd forgotten all about them!😂👍

Glad to see so many scenery from my country (Italy) in this video :) Basically everything from 11:30 onward.

So this is the Forefather of the Honda Adv series skooter/cross . Pioneering since 90. Honda ❤

It's the hooligan baby brother of the PC800. Love the video!

Off road or adventure scooters from Honda still exist today in the ADV 150/160, 350 and 750 model range. They are great delivery and light touring machines even at the 160cc range.

I have a Honda CT 125 Trail bike, and I love it, but I had no idea they made this. Just asked my BF about it because he knows all about Hondas and has a Honda Super Cub, but this is pretty cool. No shifting required! I have semi-atuo, and it made it easier to learn with just using a foot. 4 up, 4 down no hand. 😊

My neighbor had two of these. His son and I used to go ride the trails with them. They were perfect for someone our age!

If you raced Motocross in the 90's these were the envy of the pits!

Honda has always had unique bikes & ATV's as far as I can remember. They had that Cub and a dirt bike with ATV tires called the Fat Cat. They had the Odyssey which became the Pilot. And even now they have a cool scooter called the Ruckus. If this Cub were street legal, it would have been a cool little thing to put around on.

I'm 40 and I remember I wanted one of these growing up. I ended up getting a kx 80 instead and I'm glad I did lol.

I just like Everything about it, it’s just a fun toy to have and is really capable of a lot of things a modern scooter isn’t. Also this thing is a Honda, easy to repair and care, you could drive around the world with this thing

I used to watch this show in the early 90s that had kids racing on these. I was born in 84 so it was right up my alley at that age. Sadly, as a poor city kid it was never a possibility for me to have one. I still love them just because of that. Anyone remember that show? It could have been a Disney or Nickelodeon show.

I had a Honda fat cat in the early 90s and my neighbor had a cub 90. We terrorized the neighborhood and loved it. Wish I would have held on to it

I had one at 11 (1991). It was HEAVY but my brothers amd I drove the heck outta it. Awww flashbacks!

Dude that thing looks cool af

This bike needs to come back

They were great rides 👍🏼

At 40 and riding every motorcycle i could throw my life, how did i not see one of these ever. And i love honda. Ride red was all i know as a kid. Wow thank you. Now i have to find 1 if its possible. Lol

One "Cub" used to be used by WNC Agricultural Center for traffic directing/quick getting around the large parking lot during indoor motor cross events and the annual county fair. It was cool remembering it from my childhood when I saw this video.

This is the coolest bike ever and it's not even close.

You may wonder "who would take a scooter offroad" until youve jumped (and broken) a city scooter on a dirt track lmao

That thing is sooooo cool. I want a time machine just to go back and get one fresh off the line.

Interesting again, bart. I have never had a motor-bike, but your videos (about motor-bikes) that I have watched and listened to have all been interesting.

The Team Penske EZ Cubs are so cool.

This is the only Honda I would own today.

I swear I'd buy one if honda did a remake

Such a cool machine, there were some similar scooters in europe at the end of 90s and early 00s, gilera stalker, piaggio typhoon, aprilia rally, peugeot trekker

The pinnacle? Now! Bikes are so much better than they've ever been.

Piaggio and MBK had great off-road scooters in the mid 1990's, they were sold in Europe in big numbers.

These were super popular back in the day as raceday pit bikes. Loved them.

You are definitely improving the quality of your videos, I appreciate the hard work. Thanks and I am glad to subscribe.

I remember seeing it in a 1994 DIRT BIKE magazine and saying what is that? Pretty cool bike. I wouldn't mind owning one for putting around the yard.

It still looks futuristic.

Apart the loving the looks these things look so fun to ride.

Great video my guy! This deserves a sub!

Piaggio Typhoon was banging too. 50cc 80cc and 125cc

A friend of mine had one here in Ireland in the mid 1990s and it was the only one I’ve ever seen. He didn’t treat it well at all but it never broke down in the few years that he ragged around on it.

That bike looks like it belongs to someone on their way to pilot a Gundam...on a space colony. 😂😂😂

Duuuude… there used to be a show on Nickelodeon that was just kids racing in every type of ORV and they had these! Being on that show was my childhood dream and I totally forgot about these and the show until I just saw this.

Looks like my Honda X8R-X scooter. It was used in 2000 as a pit bike. They made 2 versions. One road bias and another with off-road bias. 50cc 2-stroke engine. Ive just got mine on the road after 15 years in my brother's garage.

Postmen in Australia ride a 110cc Super Cub currently. Ive had mine at 12 o'clock scraping the back and dropping peoples mail on the road.

Love all of your videos!! The best narration/documentary type of motorcycle content out there. So close to 100k subs. Come on viewers!!!

Flump you are still my favorite KZreadr

I had one, it was a HSC CUB and it was a beast! It stript my rear sprocket to a wave in less than 3 month, it took 4 liters of fuel in only 30minutes of having fun. But it was near impossible to lock as it had solid wheels. Mine was the blue white red version and I am sad I do not have it anymore😫 it was very heavy on the front but still had to be careful not to open the throttle to fast as it has more than once caused some damage to “ objects” in my way😎

I've no idea... I remember the cub in my local store as a kid and always sitting on it

My Uncle use to rip me around on these back in the early 2000 childhood memories

Excellent video! I never heard of this bike. It strikes me as an incredibly good idea. It would be perfect on the rugged terrain of my friends' Texas Hill Country ranch where I hunt. And the snow model kit makes it like a Swiss Army knife. How about putting some close-fitting turn signals on it and room for a box? It would be a great errand bike. I'm sorry I missed out on having one of these.

I can vouch that these are as rare as hens teeth, i'm all about vintage Hondas and i've been looking for a nice Cub for a long time. Not too many in Ohio, i've seen 2 in 10 years.

I think you do an excellent job, and are very easy to listen to. Subbed.

GS rider here but you earned a sub. I’m down with all kinds of bikes. Good work sir.

The reason that lots of amazing original looking bikes don’t do as well as they should is because the company never makes enough of them. So many people can’t get one because there’s none in stock so they settle for a different brand that is

A winter version that acts like a thermos with insulation and a heater could help with cold starts also a heat exchanger with the coolant system so its not too cold/thick and a valve for regulation of temperature
