I found this sad neglected C-70 chained up like a prisoner at a job I was at today. The Super Cub as it is known in other countries is "the most produced motor vehicle in history" (thanks Wikipedia). This one was unlucky enough to wind up here being picked at by vultures. You can see the leg shield is missing.
The carburetor is gone too. This is terrible for the engine if rainwater gets in. It's a good way to let a good Honda engine rust away to uselessness.
I didn't mean for this to sound so sad. It was fun to check this out up close. I was going to leave a note offering $100, but I talked to another guy who had a bike parked there and he said the owner has had several offers to buy but so far has turned them all down. Too bad. It's not going to ride down the road anytime soon.
I want one of these so bad. I am often tempted by the clones, or even the sym symba which is sold as the cub in other markets... But damnit i want a real deal honda.
