I lusted at the Honda Super Cub for the longest time but that semi-shift (manual gear box with no physical clutch lever) and key fob only (no real key) turned me off. I don't even want all that tech in my cars. The most modern car I own is a base model 2016 Honda Fit. My wife hates the CVT in it because it never "shifts" thru the gears. But it has a real key and no fancy front view cameras that require a $1000 and up windshield replacement.
A friend has a Yamaha Xmax and STILL suffers with the key fob! The scoot will beep and chirp at him all the time. Just annoying and unnecessary. The Honda Trail 125 is just to ugly to even be tempting. I know I wont see it when on it but I'll still have to walk up to it before riding away, and not only will I have to see it but everyone else will see me walk up to it and get on it. Then they might pelt me with rocks for riding such a hideous beast! |

When Steve Williams, Scooter in the Sticks, was considering buying a Trail Cub I advised him to buy the Honda XR 150R. It, to me, was a much better choice for the rigors of the dirt (I rode a lot of it in my youth). His reply was, "Looks are what count to me and the XR doesn't do it for me." He bought the Honda Trail Cub. Sort of like owning a Vespa instead of something sturdy.

Terrific. Now dealers will have to make sure the buyers have insurance and then have to work with New York State DMV. A nightmare on a good day.
