I'm in Paris at the moment and sat on the Super Cub at the Paris International Auto Show, three days ago.
There are boatloads of Piaggio MP-3's (not to mention a zillion Honda and Yamaha scooters) on the streets here. Came across my sixth CB1100 yesterday, too. The motorcycle scene in Paris appears to be very strong judging by the constant array of bikes zipping around, everything from scooters to BMW's, Hayabusa's and Gold Wings. Seems like everyone rides. Helmets are required. 3/4 helmets appear to be the most popular. I have not heard one loud pipe yet, even on the dozens of HD's that have roared past. I truly believe there is no association, at least in this city, between motorcycling and 1%'ers. I have yet to see one bad-a$$ biker, one crusty, badge-adorned vest, one biker babe, or anything with "colors." Riding is truly a mainstream and completely accepted and acceptable part of everyday life.

I suspect that alprider was referring to Europe, but I could be wrong.

From what I can tell these are now on US soil, but it seems like not one of the dealers nearby me has ordered one or even has an ETA on the arrival of one...Does anybody have a dealer near them in the US with one of these on the floor?
Negative. My dealer says March for the West Coast and May for Wisconsin. He has 12 ordered and has money down for 8 but doesn't think he will get that many. I get the very first one.misterprofessionality_imp said:

2019 Honda Super Cub C125 - wow, fun that! I'd scoot on that for a little bit.
A buncha pics and a review of the USA version. No luggage rack and a stupid horizontal tail light. To meet USA law blinkers have to be so many inches apart.

Good review -- thanks for sharing. The U.S.-spec Monkey has a similar taillight, which is unlike what you see on the Asian and Euro versions. I believe it was lifted off the Grom.

Sometimes the ugliness of light indicators is due to strict regulations of the import country and the associated cost control.

First service completed
And the US spec 2019 Monkey turn signals should look very familiar to anyone with a US 2017 cb1100ex. Both use the same turn signal lens at all four corners. Honda part 33401-mfr-305. The chrome bodies of the turn signals are identical to my eye, but part numbers are not the same. Nor are prices - one front turn signal complete for the cb1100ex is about $35 whereas one front turn signal for a Monkey (z125m) is over $150.LongRanger_imp said:
The Monkey guys on the Grom forum seem to really dislike their US spec turn signals. Perhaps if they knew the heritage behind them they might be more appreciative!
