60 million and counting:
Now I want one!
in Colombia we have a very similar one, but its 70 or 80cc, very popular too…
I had a Honda 50 Passport when I was 16 - it was my first road-legal motorcycle. It was great, but I only had it for a few months and then I bought a 400cc Suzuki.
Ever since I saw that show where the guy basically trashed this bike and it still ran I look at these with a new respect.
I remember in the mid-60 when the Honda 50 took the country by storm. 3 speed, 50cc’s and a cool new look. Of course the Beach Boys and the current crop of ‘surf movies’ helped immensely with street cred.
1965 Honda Motor Scooter original vintage advertisement. Cruises at 40 mph, with 200 miles per tank and original MSRP started at $215.
This is the price I remember.
No good, where would i put the wife, 4 kids, 4weeks worth of shopping and the dog? :loco:
There are many people who put all that on this moto 
Ok, just so long as I know it can be done.
I wouldn’t want to make a bad investment. Thanks
With so many Honda Cub’s sold…where can I find a used one in Taipei and around how much would it cost?
I want one after I saw the Discovery Channels review of the best motorcycles in the world on TV today: youtube.com/watch?v=T_bsRsQNgEY
It’s not obligatory to throw it off a building, you know. 
I used to have one. It was pretty good. I scrapped it eventually, not because it didn’t go but because I’d been stopped by the police for having half the numberplate missing, and couldn’t afford to get it fixed. The guy at the scrapyard was pretty happy to have it to scoot around on.
There are lots of Cub-type machines around here. There are SYM-badged ones that are presumably basically the same as the Hondas. And there are Yamaha ones along similar lines too.
They’ve now become fashionable in a retro way, so ones in decent condition are probably a bit more expensive than they were before.
Unless you’re definitely after a specialist dealer, why don’t you just go around some regular second-hand motorbike shops to see what they have?
Could you recommend a second-hand shop in Taipei?
Also, if I buy one of these, I would have to park it outside my apartment, near the Shilin Night Market, because I don’t have a garage. Do you think it would get stolen there?
Thanks for the help.

Cheap, reliable, durable and fast. What more could you want?
Except for the fact that I don’t need a scooter, I’d buy one.
I believe that model is not as prone to theft as many other models first. The parts for it are fairly cheap abroad which is normally where a strong demand for theft comes from. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

Aren’t the Yamaha ones 2-stroke? If they aren’t they seem to burn a lot of oil.
I’d say try one out to make sure you can live with the centrifugal clutch. Some people (ok, maybe just me) dont like it. It sort of “hunts” in and out at low revs and (I) you can’t coast smoothly.
AFAIK you can’t hire them in Taiwan but similar things (usually with bigger engines) are universally available in Thailand.

Is that a Yes or No? 
Thanks for the info.
I don’t know of any second hand bike shops in Taipei. Can someone point me in the right direction?
