60 Million & counting.

[F Body]

Fifty years ago, Honda knocked out just 24,000 of the ground breaking mopeds, but last year factories around the world built a whopping 4.7 million of the little blighters and now the 60 millionth Cub has rolled off one of Honda's multiple production lines ( excluding all the Chinese copies ).

To put things in perspective, 35 million Corollas have been sold to date, 30 million F-Series trucks have left Ford dealers and VW sold a paltry 21.5 million original Beetles.

How many of those 60 million Cubs are still putting along is anyone's guess

This is the vehicle that the most humans have owned

mopeds are like fat birds - fun to ride but you don't want your mates to see you on one of 'em

Cake anyone

[philoldsmobile]

probably the most important vehicle in the world....

[Fieldy]

I've never owned one, and none of my mates have, I think you'll find they are mainly in just one country, making it not so much 'important', but good for tht current state.......

[philoldsmobile]

dont think yer seeing the bigger picture dude...

any developing country, and i mean ANY uses the cub as its primary mode of private transport.

many aisian countries such as Thailand, and Sri Lanka depend on them, as do Vietnam, Chillie and most other south American nations..

So it's a Commie bike, eh ?

[philoldsmobile]

in so far as its the most reliable transport most commie countries can afford  (excluding the former soviet countries who had an entire wealth of soviet machinery.)
