Honda - CUB 50

Pictured above is a classic CUB 50, commonly seen around the streets in any town of Vietnam. This one was found in the Mekong Delta city of My Tho. The CUB has recently grown in popularity with the young ones, so much so you can now see bright yellow, hot red and multi colored machines cruising with badly dressed red haired youths at the controls!
