The Honda K1
The Dutch Honda C50 entered the Dutch market in the early 1970s. It is one of many versions Honda built in this model range. The C50, also known as the Cub or Super Cub, is the most-produced vehicle in the world! The model line is still ongoing, so the total production count keeps rising.
Like the Volkswagen Golf, the C50 has been made in many different versions. These include country-specific adaptations, such as pedals and a white rear fender in the Netherlands, as well as motorcycle versions like the 70cc C70 and 90cc C90. Later successors include the 110cc and 125cc models, like the Honda Wave, Innova, and Cub 125.
Cub types can generally be categorized as:
-
C50 OT (Old Type): Tank bolted onto the frame, contact point ignition, 6-volt electrical system
-
C50 K1, K2, K3: Tank recessed into the frame, contact point ignition, 6-volt electrical system
-
C50 NT (New Type): Tank recessed into the frame, CDI ignition, 12-volt electrical system
Even this classification can be further divided into different types. Knowing exactly which Cub type you own is essential to determine if it is original.
Some predecessors of the Dutch market include the Honda C310A and Honda C310S, but globally, its true predecessor was the C100. Many replicas were also made, such as the SMC Cub 50 and 110, and the YamahaTownmate.
