It’s true, even my Super Cub has an excellent headlight. Unlike the C90 where it drops 1 candle power when you light the brake light 😂😱

2 days of riding. 342 miles. Still breaking it in but it’s a very comfy place to spend a couple of days.
Underseat storage is fantastic, LED lighting is bright at night, and power delivery is smooth.
Average mpg is around 130, giving a tank range of over 300 miles.
Looking forward to the post 600 service and a loosening up of the engine a bit

I've just watched Richy Vida's latest youtube vid on a Honda cub around The Peak District and his conclusion was the best fun on a bike for ages ......... maybe I'm overbiked on my Himalayan :lol: :?

That’s the great thing about small bikes, you can always squeeze another in 🤪

Mrs Slowboy might choose to debate that point quite strongly.
