The iconic Honda Super Cub 50 will soon be riding into the sunset, with the company announcing its plans to discontinue the model in Japan from May 2025, ahead of the country’s stricter emission standards coming into force later that year.
But before bidding farewell to the Super Cub 50, Honda will release a special edition on December 12, 2024, priced at a suggested retail price of 297,000 yen (approximately 49.35 million VND).
According to the Japanese automaker, they will start accepting orders for this final special edition of the 50cc Super Cub from November 8-24, targeting sales of around 2,000 units, with the order period potentially extending depending on demand.
The Honda Cub first hit the roads in 1958, and since then, it has become one of the best-selling motorcycles globally, with over 100 million units sold. However, the rise of electric motorcycles and scooters, along with stricter emission standards, has seen a decline in the Cub’s sales, particularly the 50cc variant.
The first Cub, known as the Honda Super Cub C100, was equipped with a 4-stroke, 50cc, single-cylinder engine with an overhead valve (OHV) configuration. It featured a pressed steel frame, a 3-speed transmission, an electric starter, and drum brakes. The design was the brainchild of Soichiro Honda, the founder of Honda Motor, who envisioned a motorcycle that was easy to ride, repair, and fuel-efficient for urban dwellers, capable of navigating all types of roads.
Following the success of the Super Cub C100, Honda continued to innovate and develop new versions of the Cub, solidifying its place in automotive history.
