Got new bike at 85--- Honda Super Cub 125---2023, left over, not cheap in US.

1. having had c-70 (too slow for US traffic) and C-90 in Japan that I liked, big luggage rack, front basket, bike never broke bought new but rusted quick.
2. New C-125 fuel injected-starts and idles nice---can be jerky on low speed operation with auto clutch....need watching....C-90 with carb much easier to control!
3. US Model = decontent---no side stand, or luggage rack. [i]have side stand, Givi rack, fancy box from China-works great and st 55 liter carries plenty---Threw my old Givi E-46 box away, but it worked for at least 500,000 miles and 20 years
4. Interesting Honda changed mirrors to left hand thread---stems not long enough to prevent looking at shoulders.  I have a couple sets of old CB750 mirrors I want to use...have proper left /right nuts coming from Dennis Kirk.
5. Performance---pretty good, 50-55 mph easy cruise.
6. Have big sail of wind shield from Italy----note from experience since 1955---big shields on lite bikes make them easy to be blown over in high winds when parked. Mounting this windshield this week end.
Puig windshield provide me with strong blast of air in face.....which I do not need!
7.Cub require much more skill to ride smoothly than auto scooter-----do not like heel shifter.
8. tele fork....I prefer leading links.

9. Of course, gas tank too small
As I am not planing on croaking---have return to Hyder Alaska and James Bay Road on Quebec for next

Congratulations John! Sounds like quite a find. A trip to Hyder on it? WOW. I'd like to go with you!
