60 Million Honda Cups, Honda's 50th Anniversary
The convenient low-floor backbone frame was a hit among daily commuters while the centrifugal clutch system, requiring no clutch operations, made it suitable for a wide array of applications. The name 'Cub' was said to be the acronym of Cheap Urban Bike because the development of this model was aimed to provide a kind of cheap urban transportation in busy cities.Since the introduction of the first generation model, the basic design and concept have remained virtually unchanged, with the current models still sporting the classic outlines.
The present Honda Cub has evolved and current line-up has models equipped with Honda's latest innovative PGM-FI technology, developed by the Thai Honda research and development department, while it's production has spanned to 15 countries around the globe. The current top model is the Honda Wave 125i which furthers the newly developed PGM-FI (electronic fuel injection) system for small motorcycles.
