Honda Super Cub 110 Pro



Looks like the Honda has caught up with the plastification of bikes like Yamaha Mate and Suzuki Birdie. Not too happy with these changes. 
The 50, 90 remain unchanged from their major engine changes two years ago, but how long do they stay classic?  Not  very, we figure.

Nice old Benly CD 125 in a very tight squeeze of this shop. 
Who says Super Cubs didn't come with telescoping front fork suspension in the past?

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).

Temple visit

Took a scenic ride along the Tama River yesterday. Stumbled upon this hidden temple near Komae station. The Mon gate beckoned as an irresistable doorway into the past. 


Ojizo watching over.

Intricate dragon purifying well. The presence of the dragon in this form gives a solid clue to the Chinese influence of this order. 


Beautiful bell tower. No one was around and I was very tempted to ascend.

But it was time to push on.
