The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. In 1958 the Honda Cub was released and has gone on to become the best-selling motorised vehicle ever produced with over 100 million sales in every corner of the world. The Cub was sold in 50cc, 70cc and 90cc engine sizes and could stake a claim for being the most important and influential motorized vehicle ever designed. To put things into context the Cub range has sold more individual units than the top three best selling cars combined!
The C90 Cub may be the best selling vehicle of all time but not many have survived the rigors of serious go to work use and then the ignominy of becoming many future motorcyclists first field bike. This late model example is presented in remarkable unrestored condition still fitted, like nearly every other Cub in the day, with a Rickman style handlebar mounted screen. It was last MOTd in March 23 at around 11,000 miles and comes supplied with a current V5C. A rare survivor of one of the most important motorized vehicles ever made.
