Hmmmmm. now you have me thinking out loud....i still reckon it was the 50....cause of massive sales in China, and India, the 2 massive small bike markets combined, but i could be wrong? Having said that, i aint been bothered to google it to confirm????

LMAO, attention to detail mate. I'm sure you can still remeember that from your lesson plans lol.
I spent 2 weeks on a Greek Island as a teenager with a 50. The first motorcycle freedom I ever tasted.

My cousin had a white 50 cub decades ago. Great little bike, ran forever, three speed, auto clutch. 200 + MPG, geez!! Lots of fun as a kid!

Snap! I spent 2 weeks on a Greek Island on one.....was bloody awesome....nearly killed the thing by the time i was done, after crashing it 3 times, the missus crashing it, and nearly going over a cliff in the process....

the things you do when beer was about 30 pence a bottle, and your spending english pounds...

We, me and this crazy British Airforce pilot, who had just returned from The Falklands War, hired 2 of the things....cause our bikes were too big and heavy, and painful to ride on the dirt tracks of Corfu....they were brand new the day we hired them, 2 weeks later, they were very very secondhand....

They handle pretty well on the dirt too!!!

Bottom out a tad on nonexistent mountain roads lol.

Bottom out, wallow, squirm, bounce, bump stear, they do it all! Makes for some very interesting moments....but cause they are so light, you can chuck em around like a pushbike....i reckon one day, there could end up being one in my garage....just for those days when you feel like a laugh....

Just goes to show, you dont need a zillion hp to have fun....they definitely are the freedom machine, especially for ratty teenagers with shallow pockets, and a desire to ride....

That yellow bike in the first post looks like an Australia Post bike, did anyone see Merrick Watts on Adam Hills show last night? He is modding them, giving them slick paint jobs loud exhausts, ultra upholstered seats etc..... looks like fun!

Was it Top Gear where they threw one off the roof of a building and it survived?

 

[bjorn240]

First one is a CT90 (sold in the states from the early 70s until 79, when it was replaced by the CT110 which was sold until '86), and which is known as a Postie bike in Australia. It's not a Cub/SuperCub C70/C90, as it has a four speed transmission with dual-range and lower final drive gearing (and no leg shield).

I have a '82 C70 that I use to commute daily. 70cc, OHC, and three-speed auto-clutch transmission. They're lots of fun.
