The Honda Super Cub Scrambler by K-Speed, nicknamed Dirty Bastard, is a custom off-road build that transforms the legendary 2018 Honda Super Cub commuter into one of the coolest small motorcycles ever. If you searched for the K-Speed Honda Super Cub scrambler, who built it and how, here is the full story of this hip-hop-inspired mini scrambler.
Who built the Honda Super Cub Scrambler?
When K-Speed first got their hands on the brand new Honda Super Cub, they created an instant modern classic icon that stole the show. You can read about their first build in our Modern Classic Super Cub by K-Speed feature. This time, the Thailand-based workshop cooked up an entirely new recipe, one that is quite unexpected.
How was the Super Cub turned into a scrambler?
By request of Thai rap superstar Joey Boy, the K-Speed crew with Eak leading confronted a unique request. He asked for a scrambler version of the iconic motorcycle, which seemed impossible at first. Thanks to the experience gained from their first Super Cub build, they managed to create one of the coolest bikes of the year. To transform this legendary commuter into an off-road hybrid, they had a lot of chopping to do.
What modifications does the Dirty Bastard feature?
K-Speed started with the rear of the bike, which was trimmed down for a cleaner look and to allow more space for the bulky off-road tire. Up front, the cargo rack was chopped off together with the safety covers for a more exposed, raw look. The factory low-laying handlebars were swapped in favor of flat tracker bars that keep the riding position upright. The old bulky headlight fairing is replaced with a fork-mounted unit that keeps things nice and tidy. Performance upgrades include a manual clutch conversion, an oversized piston and an injection module upgrade. This lightweight little beast can now blast through mud in what is possibly the coolest small motorcycle we have ever seen.
