The model, according to Honda, has crossed 100 million units in production this month after the first one was introduced to the markets in 1958. Surprisingly, interest in the Honda Super Cub has only risen in the past few years. While the original model was first introduced in 1958, it was only in the last 12 years that Honda managed to sell 100 million units, a figure which was at around 50 million in 2005. The new and updated Honda Super Cub sticks to the retro looks, but adds some modern bits like an LED headlight, a new instrument panel and modern, 49 and 110 cc single-cylinder engines.
