Honda Super Cub (1958 to 1964)

Motorcycles and Powered Two- and Three-Wheelers

The first period of the Honda Super Cub runs from the C100 of 1958 through the early 1960s. The C100 had a monocoque chassis of pressed steel, with the horizontal 49 cc engine below the central spine, a layout now called step through or underbone, and plastic leg shields hiding the engine; Honda built a new factory at Suzuka, Mie, to make the machine in volume. The first variant, the electric-start C102, followed in April 1960, and the Sports Cub, the Trail 50 and the enlarged pushrod C200 followed by 1963. Wikipedia does not number the generations of the Super Cub, so this page groups its model years by the dates the article documents. Each model year has its own page.
