Dealer Takes 110

I stopped by the Honda Dream dealer in Nishi Tokyo to take a close up look at the new Super Cub 110. 


Pillion seat. Long seats are not usually installed on Cubs in Japan as they are for the export models. 

Exhaust is matte black with steel chrome leg protector. 

Modernized instrumentation, hand grips and switches. 

Access to the battery. 


Telescoping front suspension. 


The gray chain guard is plastic. 


The matte black is a rubber cover for the tank which resides beneath it. The two black corners are part of the tank. Below the rear carrier you can see the tube frame (black with white and red
decals).

Noodling



Spotted another new 110. This one has the single ramen box pendulum. He just delivered noodles to a Police Koban. And yes, he is picking his nose as he rides off. 

I noticed the exhaust sounded a bit throaty. Sure enough as he went by, I noticed the aftermarket muffler. He didn't waste time, did he?

2009 Super Cub 110 in service




This shop used to have a CD50 parked out front. Now, I see they've "upgraded" to the new Super Cub 110. Hearing it pull away from the curb, it sounded more like a Today or Dio then a Super Cub. But it did have nice pick-up with a sack of rice in the back basket.
