HelloKitty Supercub

[bt619]

While at the bike shop, I saw a new/rare special order HelloKitty SuperCub.

A few years ago I went through what could be called a bit of a rebellious phase and for a time drove two-door Isuzu Amigo 4x4 with a mild lift, off-road tires and a bunch of other stuff. On the back door/gate/tailgate I had a Hello Kitty decal with Hello Kitty holding a large gun. That decal garnered more interest (and comments) then pretty much any other aspect of that truck. Once, while at a gas station a very angry young Asian girl started screaming at me that Hello Kitty represented everything good and pure in this world. A while later my Aunt borrowed this same truck for a week or so while her car was in for repairs. When I got it back my Hello Kitty decal had been covered by a piece of masking tape. When I asked her why she reminded me that she taught at an Elementary School and didn't really think it was appropriate for her to be seen parking at a school with hat on the back door. Thankfully the 'You should see me topless' decal I had stuck to the passenger-side dashboard survived unscathed.

All that said I would rock that!

I would love to buy that tbh. Awesome collab. I dislike how overseas always gets all the cool collabs.

I'm pretty sure it is Japan only. They only made 300 CT90 and 1000 CT110. You should be able to get the trim parts and stickers and put them on a standard SuperCub. Only six unique parts.

Honda have a fun site for this Hello Kitty 50th anniversary edition.

Super Cub × Hello Kitty | Cub | Honda

For Hello Kitty's 50th anniversary, Super Cub — the classic two-wheeler beloved worldwide — teams up with the character for this special, limited edition.

The limited edition models are Super Cub 50 & 110, so unfortunately some of the parts (key and speedometer at the least) would not carry over to the Super Cub 125 that is sold in the USA.

bt619, Does the box on the back rack contain a Hello Kitty helmet?

As a school security officer in my “retirement”, I can appreciate your Aunt’s caution. We had another retired LEO work security in my school. A few days after one of the U.S.’s major school shootings with multiple dead children and teachers, but not in my state, he thought it a good idea to go around the school and sell raffle tickets for his Harley Davidson rider‘s club. Only problem was, the grand prize in the raffle was an AR-15 rifle. When he was pulled aside by school administration and explained to him that it wasn’t the best timing to sell those type of tickets in a school, and to please stop, he completely didn’t get it and even strenuously argued back explaining that it was a legal, legitimate raffle with a legitimate prize…. Not for this reason alone, he doesn’t work for us any longer.

Yep, I get it and had I thought about it when I lent it to her I probably would have covered it up myself for the same reasons. The irony is my Aunt is not a gun person at all which made it a bit funny for those who know her.

I just checked and Amazon still sells a version of the same decal. I just ordered a couple

Kev, To be clear, I wasn’t being critical of you or the decal, just understanding of your aunt’s caution.

No worries, I didn't take it that way, but thanks!

Was doing some prep on my Trail for next month's meet-up and ride...Had to add a new decal

Did you buy extras for your friends who's riding with you?

Uh, no. He's not really a decal kind of guy...though I do have an extra one. Maybe I'll bring it to Cottonwood for my fellow Dax and Trail riding Internet buddy!

Here is the follow-up video. If you don't like the sound of a woman constantly shrieking, I'd suggest you turn the sound off:

This video is also interesting to me as it says "The Super Cub 50 is sailing off into the sunset as Honda has decided to phase out small displacement motorcycles due to stricter emission regulations and the emergence of electric competitors. "
This is the first I knew of this phase out:
