Honda is expected to release the 2024 Super Cub C125 on March 28. The C125, the highest grade in the Cub series, will be the first to see a price increase.
Bosphorus blue, different from the original C125, is now available!
The Super Cub C125, which debuted on the 60th anniversary of the original Super Cub C100, would be available in Pearl Nirtaba Blue, the first generation image, from 2018 to 2022. This would be removed from the lineup in 2023, and a new Pearl Bosphorus Blue would be introduced in 2024.
Bosphorus Blue is a new color first introduced on 2024 ADV160, a marine-inspired shade that may have been derived from the Bosphorus Strait. It does not have the sharpness of the conventional Nirtaba Blue, but the calm and luxurious coloring is rather similar to that of the Super Cub C100 and is expected to be popular.
Pearl Nebula Red, which was discontinued in 2023 as well as Blue, is also expected to return in the 2024 model year, and the seat color would change from traditional gray to brown. Matte Axis Gray, new for 2023, will be a continuing color and is expected to be available in a total of three colors.
The expected price is (approx.) 3043 USD, which is more than (approx.) 2969 USD, the first in the Classic Wing series to use Honda's horizontal 125cc engine. The specifications are not expected to change, but with the information that the model number will be changed from JA58 to JA71, there may be changes that will lead to higher costs.
