The Honda Super CUB is the best selling motor vehicle in history, with more than 100 million units built since 1958, and this version reimagines the classic as a retro cafe racer thanks to Thai customizer K-Speed. Blending the unmistakable Super CUB silhouette with modern detailing, the K-Speed build turns a humble commuter into a clean, characterful classic motorcycle.
What is the Honda Super CUB?
To celebrate one of the most successful motorcycles in history, with 100 million units sold worldwide, Honda released a revamped edition of the Super CUB in both 50 and 110cc trim. It is a rugged, iconic two-wheeler that has reached every corner of the planet and has even carried a rider across the Arctic Circle. For fans searching for a classic Honda Super CUB, this is the model that defines the category.
How did K-Speed customize the Super CUB?
To mark the release of the Super CUB, Honda contacted K-Speed to create a special edition of the bike. Styled like a retro cafe racer, the custom CUB has a certain flair to it. It still retains its identity, the iconic dip in the middle and the front fairing, but each element has been carefully reworked to feel modern. The handlebars keep their wide curve for comfortable riding, while the tires have been swapped for wider rubber that gives the Super CUB a stronger stance. You can see the full build on Bike EXIF and Carscoops.
What makes this custom Honda CUB special?
Coated in a clean black and white paint scheme, the Super CUB by K-Speed looks crisp and modern. It uses LED turn signals for a contemporary touch, the stock exhaust has been replaced with an aftermarket unit, and the swing-arm is a bolted-on aluminum replacement. Built for the Thailand market, this exact custom is unlikely to appear on Western streets soon, but it shows just how much character a custom Honda CUB can carry, and other garages are sure to take inspiration from this historic little motorcycle.
