Honda Crosscub 110 Review
"The most likeable small bike money can sensibly buy used."
Used Buyer Review
The Cross Cub 110 is Honda's most charming small bike, and buying used is genuinely smart here — they depreciate fast off the showroom floor but last practically forever. The 110cc fuel-injected engine is bulletproof if maintained, and most owners treat these things like pets. Check the chain, look for crash damage on the lower crash bars (they tip over at parking lot speeds), and verify the LED headlight works properly — replacements aren't cheap. Mileage barely matters on these; 8,000 miles means nothing to a Honda Cubs engine. What nobody tells you is that the semi-automatic transmission takes real adjustment. It's not a scooter twist-and-go, it's not a proper manual — it's its own thing, and some riders love it, others never click with it. Test ride before committing. Also, highway riding above 55mph turns it into a vibrating, strained mess — this bike belongs in town, on back roads, and weekend adventures, full stop.
