A nostalgic scene of 1970s motorcycle culture.

The 1970s was a fantastic era for motorcycle enthusiasts! Kids, parents, grandparents, and hippies—everyone either rode or knew someone who did.

As a teenager during the ’70s, I rode almost every day, as long as the weather was even slightly cooperative. My dad had a Honda Trail 90 and would take my friends and me to explore new and exciting places. 

I am glad I grew up in that time when motorcycles and motorcycling were in their ascendancy.

Do you have any special motorcycle memories from the 1970’s?

RIDE ON, RIDE SAFE

2019 Honda Monkey
Honda is setting to unleash the Monkey and Super Cub on America in 2019.* (see how I did that  LOL, I kill me sometimes)

These bikes are based on iconic motorcycles from Honda’s past like the Mini Trail (Z series) and Trail 90.  Both appear to be powered by the same 125cc engine.

mon 1The Monkey
“Beginning with a Japanese amusement-park ride, Honda’s 58-year history with the “Monkey” has seen the Z series capture the hearts of generations the world over, offering enjoyable, accessible mobility through a likable design, tiny dimensions, and low weight.”

The monkey will be available in Banana Yellow and Peral Nebula Red.  The standard version will cost $3999 and with ABS $4199.

The Super Cub ABScub 2
“A social phenomenon, the Super Cub even inspired a Beach Boys song, its worldwide popularity carrying it to a production milestone of 100 million units in 2017, making it the highest-selling motor vehicle in the world.”

That is a lot of motorcycles… the price for the Super Cub is $3599 with Anti-lock braking standard.  The Cub is only available in Pearl Niltava Blue.  I had to look up just what Niltava was, turns out it is a blue & yellow bird native to an area from the Himalayas to China and Taiwan.

So what do you think about the Honda Zoo?  I am really interested in looking over the Super Cub as my father and later myself road the Trail 90 all over the place!
