New and improved, based on the Grom, so both feature a fuel-injected 125cc monocylinder.

Now I want a Monkey bike.  :P

Those were all over the campgrounds when I was a kid. Usually well off Americans in big Airstream trailers and they'd have one or two to rip with.

I want both!

The styling of the Cub is great! This is as much of a vehicular icon as any in the world. The kept the look..but more modern.

^^ That Cub brings back memories!
What's next, a remake of the CT70 Trail?! I lusted after one of those when I was 10.

Yup, wanted a CT70 too as a kid. It was often featured in French comic books like the Yoko Tsuno series:

Yes, I think there is a thread here somewhere. On this one rare occasion I'd prefer it with an ICE, for nostalgic reasons  :-[

I'd wait to the Cub Trail, personally.

That's the one I have fond memories of.

Growing up, it seemed everyone had an old, beat up Super Cub or Trail kicking around.

To hell with Honda, I don't need one.

Blue smoke from a vintage Van Van is better.
