I was looking for the info on the Super Cub 125cc.
We've all seen the original version of this bike loaded down with an entire family and all their belongings rolling along.
When they show up here I'll try it out.

Oh oh! SO much for the Super Cub.http://canadamotoguide.com/2018/06/1...25-for-canada/

When the weather gets better I'll start snooping around the local Honda dealership and try to find out.
Richard is probably right about handling a scooter type bike on dirt and gravel trails. I don't want a full fledged dirt bike because of the rough ride on pavement. My 1976 CanAm 175 TNT was tiresome...and I had trial tires on it...not the knobbies. I remember riding it from my former home out in the burbs to the Canadian Forces Sailing Club at Shearwater (20-25 miles)and when I arrived I could still feel the vibration up through my hands, wrists and into my forearms. After my sailing lesson, I had to then drive all the way home. Not only that...the modern dirt bikes in the 250cc range are quite tall....a long way to fall, especially on a downhill slope. I need to get longer legs or a lower seat height.

I can’t believe how tall trail bikes are anymore. To mountbine you almost need the stand down, put your foot on the peg then swing over. A far cry from my old 350 and 360 Yamaha’s made in the 70s

I think that is just the result of all of the "X" stuff. Guys used to
be happy just riding over rough terrain and maybe being airborne
briefly going over a bump. Now days they expect these bikes to do "Big
air" flips and you need a deeper suspension for that.
My old Benelli looked more like this

I think they'd be a fun little scooter. That 125cc engine will take the thing to 60mph and cruise at
a comfortable 45mph all day long. I sat on one yesterday and it was pretty damn comfortable. Great
seat on it.

Is it true that Americans can buy cars made in Kanada cheaper than
Kanadians can?
Possibly. First, there is the exchange rate from US dollars to
Loonies. Then there is the import duty savings if you actually travel
to CA and buy the car there and bring it to the US as a private vehicle.

Many European auto makers have European delivery programs that can save
you a lot of money and, essentially, buy you a vacation. For example, a
BMW that costs +ACQ-70K is discounted about 7+ACU- for a savings of +ACQ-4900. This
discount is separate from any deals you negotiate with the local
dealer. You fly to Munich, buy your car, and drive around Europe for up
to 30 days (they pay the insurance) and drop it off at one of several
ports. Now you are the exporter so the duties/tariffs are gone and they
ship it to your dealer in the US. Some manufactures include a hotel
stay, dinner, and a factory tour as part of the program.

I’ve heard of that. BMW used to have a program to come over, buy a bike, tour package, ship bike home. All in a reasonable bottom line (I suppose) fee. Don’t know if they still offer that or not.
