Model Name:LITTLE CUB
Manufacturer:HONDA
Model Year:1997
It was quite simply “easy to ride”. It adopted a rather small “14 inch tire for the front and the rear and a comfortably low seat for easy boarding or descending. The body size was made compact for easy handling. On the other hand, it had a thick tire that supported springy movements and a soft touching suspension system. It was a bike that made you feel like going out on the streets.
