Honda Cross Cub 110 Owner Review

We will introduce JackVM's passionate story about his riding experience with his beloved motorcycle, Super Cub 110, from Webike Community's "My Beloved Moto" campaign. He told us about his review of the Super Cub 110, including its advantages and disadvantages, which he knows well because he's the owner.

Brief self-introduction

  • Motorcycle history and how I usually enjoy my motorcycle.

Motorcycle History: Seven years. My motorcycle is mainly for commuting and shopping, and I go touring on a bunch of holidays. I have a license up to two large wheels, but I prefer small commuters that I can ride easily.

  • How long have you been riding this motorcycle?

July 2018~ as of July 2018 I haven't gone 10,000km yet.

  • Motive for purchase and purpose

I like customizing, and I have the skills to overhaul a Honda horizontal engine, but the one I had before this one (Honda CD50), I had to bore it up, tweak the intake and exhaust systems, tweak the electrical system, and finally replace it with a Chinese 125cc, and as a result, the frame got rattled by the engine, and I had to scrap it. I no longer had a motorcycle to ride, so I had to buy a new one.

The CD50 had a high revving engine, so the torque was thin, and the motorcycle would stall if you missed the clutch, and the fuel control was severe and troublesome. I thought it was a new motorcycle, so I had a choice between Super Cub (JA42) and Cross Cub (JA45). The deciding factor was the color. I love yellow.

Its main use is as you can see from the images, a shopping & touring vehicle.
The front area is designed to increase the load capacity by using the parts of Cub Pro. The largest Homsen box that can be put on the rear is also put on it. Since the capacity is large, it is safe even if the luggage increases. It also has a windshield to prevent fatigue from the long-distance wind.

Satisfaction and Strengths

For purpose 
Since it is a moped, I don't have much trouble finding a place to park my motorcycle when I go to the supermarket. Fuel efficiency is also excellent. I've gotten around 55km/L on the street, and up to 68km/L at times. If you fill-up the tank, you can drive at least 200km, which will give you peace of mind when touring long distances.

For riding
Thanks to the automatic centrifugal clutch, it never stalls, so you can start at low speeds and on hills. It's so much easier to shift gears because you don't have to use your left hand to do it. The tires are thick enough for the motorcycle size, so it feels stable even when driving at high speeds.
(The CD50 had F: 2.25/17 and R: 2.50/17 for 125cc, so it was hopelessly thin for the engine power.)

For appearance
I didn't like the previous model of the Cub because it was based on the Thai Cub and designed to look like a Japanese Cub, but I like the new model because it has boldly come closer to the Japanese Cub. Also, the bright yellow body makes it fun every time you ride it.

On other motorcycles, if you mess around this much, your identity might be destroyed, but the Cub is a "Cub" no matter how far you go. Is it rather cub-like?

Dissatisfaction and weaknesses.

For purpose
I do a lot of nighttime touring, but the headlights are dark anyway! The color temperature is so high that it doesn't illuminate for the glare, and the range of illumination is so narrow that, to be honest, it's nothing but horror to ride on a street with no street lights. So I added two LED work lights.

You may be forced to honk your horn to avoid danger while riding, but the sound is so poor that you may not notice it. This isn't the only problem with this motorcycle, but since motorcycles are in a position where they are easily overlooked by motorists for free, it might be better to change it to something more appealing. (Of course, if you don't need to honk, the current one is enough.)

For riding
Reduction ratio of stock (14:37), so I had to turn the engine pitifully when I was on the bypass, so I'd only swing the drive one long (15:37) It needed to be. If you're thinking mainly of touring, the Super Cub might be better than the Cross Cub, which has a more torque-leaning default setting. Also, I need more torque. I guess if you say it's appropriate for the displacement, you're right. (But I don't want to bore up.)

For appearance
Compared with the slimness of the iron turnip, the body is so fat that it is incomparable. As you can see in the picture, the neck area is about 30cm wide because of the air cling. I was fooled the first time I rode it, because the impression I got from the side photos was that it was thinner than that! I thought. There's a lot of meat from under the seat to the rear fender as well. The rear shocks are buried in the exterior panels.

The cub shuffling and lightness seems to have faded. I've convinced myself that it's a result of changing from a semi-monocoque pipe + pressed steel plate to a pipe frame construction, so I've convinced myself that I'm not just gaining weight, I'm gaining a big-boned macho.

Summary

Although there are many complaints, in general, I think it's a fun motorcycle that can be ridden easily and easily without any elbow grease.

I'd rather have a hobby motorcycle than a Super Cub. But it doesn't have to be as stiff and off-road as the Hunter Cub. If you're one of those people, I think the cross-cab is a perfect fit.

The image is Senrihama Nagisa Driveway. The yellow shines against the blue of the sea and sky.

Thank you, JackVM, for a narrative that shows so much love for the Cross Cub 110!
