The Honda CG110

If I were ever asked what’s Honda’s best motorcycle ever, I’d be inclined to answer the Cub, a bike that was more than a means of transportation, it was a craze.

Recently I heard about the Honda CG110, a bike built in Nigeria for the local populace, and the first thing that came to mind was the Cub. While the shape might not fit, the overall design cues and the very low price has to have come from the Cub. If it will carry 30 large pizzas and run on cooking oil, all doubts will be shattered.
