Little Honda

Recommended Posts

Honda has brought the Cub back. It was one of the first bikes Honda imported to the States, and they sold like hotcakes. The Beach Boys did a song about it. The new one has twice the power, and costs less than $4K.

Not that Honda ever stopped making it, but groovy little motorbikes fell out of style here.

That is a heck of a lot of moolah for a scooter!

It's reliable and durable, which is also why more Cubs have been sold than any other motorised vehicle.

I'm really liking the new Honda Monkey Bike too. It looks like the Little Honda trail bikes from the 70s. I can even buy aftermarket engine/trans kits to turn my 1970 Honda Trail 70 into a 125cc with a four speed trans.

My brother and I had one of those when we were kids!

I was in a band in high school that played Beach Boys songs including Little Honda. We played twice for for money: $25 - $5 for each of us.  Once was when we talked the school sponsors of what was supposed to be a gym record hop (you had to wear socks, not shoes on the gym floor) to let us play instead.  The second was when we played while the real band in a night club went on break.

That means I'm a professional musician!  Actually, our bass player taught my little brother the bass and he's loved it ever since and actually still plays for money a few times a month to this day in his band "Switch."  He's in the middle below.812594_461925943860551_1514786655_o.thumb.jpg.295b567bb62ddb2860f255117ef796f5.jpg

This is my 1970 (first year made) Honda Trail 70. I recently got it running again after it sat with bad gas in it for several years.

I remember those too but ours looked like the one in the picture with the gas tank. Red too!
