In what year did cumulative global production of the Honda Super Cub reach 100 million units? 2017.
Honda reached that milestone in October 2017, when cumulative worldwide production of the Super Cub series passed 100 million motorcycles. The announcement was made at Honda’s Kumamoto Factory in Japan, where the company held a commemorative ceremony for the landmark unit.
The Super Cub story began in 1958, when Honda started mass-producing the C100. Its step-through layout, simple four-stroke engine, automatic centrifugal clutch and practical leg shields made it useful for commuting and everyday work. Production later expanded across numerous countries, allowing the same basic concept to serve very different markets.
The figures are cumulative production totals for the Super Cub series, not sales of one exact trim level. That distinction matters because the family has appeared under names such as C50, Super Cub 50, Super Cub 110 and other regional designations. Honda reported 60 million units in 2008 and 87 million in 2014 before reaching 100 million in 2017.
