At Bike Forge, we are privileged to showcase a true piece of motorcycle history — the legendary Honda C110 Sports Cub 50cc.
Launched in 1962, the Honda C110 Sports Cub was introduced as the successor to the very first Super Cub models of the early 1960s. While small in size, this iconic little machine played a massive role in shaping motorcycle history and laid the foundation for what would become one of the world’s most successful motorcycle platforms.
Powered by a 50cc overhead valve pushrod engine, featuring an iron cylinder head and barrel, the Honda C110 was remarkably advanced for its time. Producing around 5 horsepower, this tiny machine was capable of an astonishing 100 km/h — something almost unbelievable for a motorcycle of its size and engine capacity.
What makes the Honda C110 even more significant is its engine layout. The horizontal forward-facing barrel design became the blueprint for countless future Honda Cub and Postie Bike models, eventually helping create what became the world’s most produced single-model vehicle platform.
The example currently on display at Bike Forge has sparked tremendous nostalgia among many visitors. For countless riders aged 60 and older, the Honda C110 was often their very first bike — a machine that introduced them to freedom, adventure, and the thrill of two wheels.
There is something incredibly honest about the Honda C110. It never tried to pretend to be a big motorcycle. Instead, it embraced exactly what it was — a lightweight, reliable, fun little machine built to put smiles on faces.
We invite you to come and view this remarkable piece of motorcycling history at Bike Forge and marvel at the proportions of a machine that proudly carries no pretense of being anything other than what it is — a true little legend.
