In the motorcycling world, the only motorcycle to approach the legendary status of the Volkswagen Beetle or Mini would have to be the Honda Cub.

The Honda Cub debuted in 1958, about 10 years after Honda Motor Co. was established. Honda’s biggest advantage was producing a small, efficient 4-stroke engine while competitors at the time were almost all using 2-stroke engines which required higher maintenance. Honda used the slogan “You meet the nicest people on a Honda” to break into the tough US and European markets, as well as the newly independent British colonies like Malaysia which were dominated by British marques.

The competitive pricing, ease of use, extremely low fuel consumption, cheap maintenance costs, low emissions and toughness made the Honda Cub a worldwide hit. While oil barrel prices keep skyrocketing, remember this: a Honda Cub gives you 146 kilometres per litre (340 MPG)!
