The Super Cub series still accounts for nearly half of Honda’s annual sales, despite the rising popularity of scooters.
Honda Vietnam’s locally produced Super Cub series features a solid lineup. The Wave Alpha 110 is its lowest priced offering at 17,790,000 dong (approx. 82,500 yen/US $790), while the midsized Blade 110 comes in four variations starting from 21,300,000 dong (approx. 99,000 yen/US $920). The fuel-injected Wave RSX110, which features an under-seat helmet compartment, is priced at 24,490,000 dong (approx. 115,000 yen/US $1,050), while the similarly equipped top-of-the-line Future 125 is 31,190,000 dong (approx. 145,000 yen/US $1,350) (exchange rates as of January, 2019).
The increasing popularity of scooters has brought the percentage of new Super Cubs sold down to below 50% of Honda’s annual sales. Even so, the total number of Super Cub series motorcycles made by Honda Vietnam is over 12 million, with production expected to grow at an annual rate of 700,000 to 800,000 units. Clearly, Vietnam’s love affair with the Super Cub is still as passionate as ever — and this country is still the world’s Super Cub Paradise.
