The 2018 return of the Honda Super Cub to America

On June 1st, 2018 I happened to stop at the local Honda dealer, Poulin's Inc., and heard that Honda is bringing back the Super Cub and Monkey with 125cc engines in 2019! They showed me a Honda 2019 model introduction video that made the announcement to the dealers. https://youtu.be/cEQLXDVjE2M



This was amazing news! I had hoped Honda would bring it back the Super Cub to America for the 50th anniversary in 2008 and then the 55th in 2013 but it did not happen. I came home and searched the web but there was precious little information out there. I did find one other source to confirm it with more details. http://www.hondaprokevin.com/2019-honda-super-cub-125-scooter-motorcycle-release

Slowly more information became available from Honda. Then on Friday, June 7th, Honda blew us out of the water by a surprise unveiling in Townsend, TN. at the Smoky Mountain Crawl. The first I saw of the news was on the Japanese Vintage Motorcycles Facebook group when some pictures were posted.
