What do we reckon? Tomorrow's classic or will it flux you up big tings?

Can't seem to find a price.

Sort of want.... if the price is right and it's not made straight outta Fluxville.

Doesn't really ABS-ring my bell. Queers and tarts will lap it up.

I like I did have a C50 back in 1988-90 and would love to have it again. Maybe this is the modern way?

Thankfully they've uprated the front brake!

Roger has hit the nail!

It's a style exercise that will cost alot more than and offer nothing riding experience or performance wise than the AN125 can't do cheaper or better?

If it's style you want or a classic ride, then something like Binge's Chaly way out cools this, as would a retro modded C90. I think this is too much of a cash in on Honda history, and if you were buying a new bike as a future investment I don't think this would work out as well as an MSX personally.

But then what do I know about modern 125's?

[stephen_o]

Roger did indeed hit the nail.

In my nostalgic mind where everything in life was better, cheap and simple I wish I hadn't sold my C50.

I had a C90 back in the day, yes I wish I’d never sold it.
This looks pretty cool, however I’ll bet it will be way to expensive.

I think it looks a bit girly ??
I would prefer to get another tidy well looked after C90 rather than one of those.
But I’m not looking for any more marketing gimmicks(Super Cub 125) to put in my garage.

My C50 used to cost £1 to fill to the brim with petrol. I would put my jerry can in the top box and fill that at the same time for a total spend of £3.50 which would last for weeks.

As well as the fuel tap it had a closable breather under the seat which I could use to disable the bike and used to often catch me out. Easy to service.

I would have another.

Looks nice, kinda misses the point.

C90 was crap but reliable and cheap which is why people liked it.
This is fancy and probably overpriced. Hipsters might like it but that's about it.

“We know our customers, male or female"

[ThePurpleWind]

Never should be taken for granted these days

Wow.

That is a fantastic development for Humankind. We've evolved to the point where we don't acknowledge the parts that stick out from our own bodies.

It's so far left it's poking back in the right now.

[stephen_o]

Wow I could spend the best part of a dead day in a dying business trying to pigeon hole myself but instead need to look for a new battery for the YBR because despite being used daily it has died.

Unreliable - I want my C50 back

It is relevant in as much as when I read that "male or female" I really was triggered to shriek "WHAT ABOUT THE GENDERQUEEROTHERKIN, YOU JAPANAZIS?"

and like getting the trains to run on time they have a quick clean bikelist page* instead of the retarded mess the UK gets.

Bit too late to comment on this topic but many of us are complaining about petrol tank size of this bike. It's only 3.7L.
It's smaller than Monkey 125(5.6L).
This puts me off this bike.

That is ridiculously small.

I self identify as a 3.7 litre tank. I am structurally oppressed by larger tanks.

When I glimpsed a review of these recently I got really excited . . . briefly. The old one was hardly the sexiest bike in the world, but it had charm - the new one looks absolutely awful in my opinion. The price . . . is terrifying!

I guess it'll appeal to those interested in something that looks vaguely like a Cub.
