You are very easy to listen too. Positively energetic and excited to bring the info to us. Thanks for being you man. I appreciate ya. Take care. 😎🤙

Pros: Cheap to run and maintain, reliable, chain guard, semi-automatic, led lights, tubeless tyres, MPG, keyless ignition, lightweight, protection from the fairing. Cons: Battery compartment, single seat, no USB. I have 4 bikes and its always the cub that gets the most attention, it's fantastic.

Totally agree with your comments. I love my Cub. It's Five Stars! lol! Love the 132 MPG and it's ease of entry but hate that it didn't come with a side stand. I had to spend a bunch to get an Asian OEM 'upgrade' but with a kick stand, the bike is SOOO much better!

The Cub, in its various forms, is the best, that's number 1 selling vehicle ever produced on this planet, so Honda got it right and gets it done! The battery issue should be a no brainer, my son has the Trail 125 and it has a kick starter and some, not all 125 Cubs, have a kick starter. Search well or order a kick start model.👍

Thanks for the vids, much appreciated. May I ask a practical question : is there any sort of helmet hook under the seat, so you can leave the helmet hanging on the bike while you’re running errands or whatever ? (Not talking about an under seat storage, has there obviously isn’t any). Can’t find the info anywhere. Thanks ! 🙏

Currently riding a 2008 C50 and 1965 C65 and having owned a c70, I can understand the need for a keyless ignition as the standard ignition is so easy to bypass. I have been lusting after a C125 because I commute 75 miles a day on my Cub and the mileage and tubeless tires would make it ideal.
A trickle charger would solve the dead battery problem.

If there's anything wrong with the C125, I think not having a kickstarter and the fact that you cannot access your storage without a live battery, but the storage is where your screwdriver is which is what you need to access the battery panel.

battery drain fix: lock the ignition. there's some complicated instructions in a user manual addendum.

Lock: put ignition switch in lock position, make sure the blue ring is illuminated, hold the key fob bottom button (its got a key on it) until the little led on the key fob flashes red, then let go.
Unlock: illuminate the blue ring again, hold the key button down until it flashes green, and let go.

but i still have a battery charger cable attached to the battery and accessable from under the seat. its a PITA to install, but ya only have to do it once.

i had to install a long seat to fix ergonomics, having my butt that close to handlebars was making my back hurt. sometimes my ignition get stuck in a broken state and the bike wont start, starter motor not given power. going through the whole lock and unlock process seems to fix it.

I left my bike for over 8 months and had to change the battery. It took me 5 minuet’s tops. C’mon…. is that such a big deal? The positives in this bike way outweigh the negatives … Fact.😊

How often do you check the chain for lubrication and adjustment? In time the chain will stretch and adjustment is needed, correct?

[Jacob-umpd]

Keyless ignition and battery housing are my only complaints to an otherwise amazing little machine. I've read that if you set the alarm and leave it it'll drain in a little under two weeks. Putting a trickle charger was a bit of a headache but took under an hour to do (I did lose a screw in the body but it'll work itself out).

Cab you get a rear luggage rack for it?

I had similar thoughts about the ignition, and other areas which are only accessible with a working/running battery. i talked, and complain, about this with a bunch of buddies and during this i think i got it. and at the moment i think it is a very, very good system. because, if you think about the main target group for this bike, it makes more sense.

because this is primary a commute bike, with the main target region of south east asia. not north america (yours) or europe (mine).

considering this two things, it makes sense to have a relatively secured bike (electric ignition, keyless, accessibility like gas or tools area only with running battery/ignition) makes a lot of sense in a highly dense region, with a lot of interested eye.

the only way to highjack it fast is to lift it up and move into a transporter. with the lock and the alarm system, you can't just hijack it on the street in a couple of seconds like other scooters, without taking out the battery first.
And taking out the battery, or even disable it, takes a bit of time as everybody knows who has a super cub.

You also can't simply steal gas from the tank, because you can't access it so easy during a drive/run by.

And as it was (is?) the most sold motorcycle in the world, having a lot of similar looking ones around on the same parking space (again, target region is south east asia aka motorcycle/scooter-heaven), it's easier to find yours in the parking lot with a beeper ^^.

Would one of those hand held jumpers help you for low battery?

[sjcafiero]

Question: When I accelerate, I hear a "whining' noise coming from what appears to be the left side if the engine. It's sort of drowns out the sound of the motor. Is that "whining" sound normal?

[Chronosmaster]

Also, a question for all. I took my cub for a state inspection and had to walk the inspector on how to start the bike (thanks e-ignition) when he got me my bike back, now the start button doesn’t beep anymore, like it’s on silent mode. Anyone have any ideas

[UPdan]

I liked my metropolitan but I live in dirt roads area and dust, gravel, etc hit the back at the muffler and it would affect the motor. I'm waiting for the Trail or Yamaha PG1 if it comes because of muffler height.

Good video. The problem with the keyless ignition is that even though you turn the ignition off after a ride it is actually still on and communicating with your Fob. To rectify your battery draining. After you finish your ride you need to lock your ignition and turn off your Fob by doing this you eliminate the slow drain on the battery. Honda really fuc#$d up here because it is not mentioned in the owners manual. You know you have correctly turned off your ignition and Fob by trying to turn on your ignition it acts just like it does when the battery is dead. To see how to do it correctly go see. Yoshie moto you tube channel he has a wealth of knowledge about the supercup.😊

[anthonyjaswinski]

You nailed it with the battery access. Sucks 🐴. Took me 2 You Tubes and an hour to install a new battery. Other than that, I love my Cub

It is a good review, it's hard not to be biased.

It's a good bike. But, it's for smaller people. It is surely a very good little bike. I got one. Ride it three times a week, beating L.A traffic.
