TV ANIME / HONDA CUB FAMILY
The motorcycles in Super Cub,
through three riders.
Koguma rides a Super Cub 50. Reiko moves from an MD90 postal Cub to a CT110. Shii Eniwa later acquires a Little Cub. Each machine brings a different character to the story and points toward a Cub you can explore today.

Motorcycles by character
| Character | Motorcycle | Its role in the story |
|---|---|---|
| Koguma | Honda Super Cub 50 | The everyday machine that expands her range, routine and relationships. |
| Reiko | Honda MD90 postal Cub → CT110 | A working-bike platform explored through technical knowledge, modification and rough-road ambition. |
| Shii Eniwa | Honda Little Cub | A compact personal choice inspired by the other two riders. |
The motorcycles may appear with paint or equipment different from their factory specification. Their contrasting roles and the way each rider uses them are part of the appeal.
Three different expressions of the same family
Super Cub 50
A step-through frame, leg shield and luggage rack make Koguma's first Cub a believable school and shopping companion rather than a glamorous escape vehicle.
MD90 and CT110
The MD90 represents purpose-built postal work; the CT110 takes Cub simplicity toward unpaved-road use. Together they reflect Reiko's mechanical curiosity.
Little Cub
A smaller-wheeled branch of the family that gives Shii a visibly different way into Cub ownership.
Honda's own Cub history shows a long-running family that has branched into delivery, leisure and compact variants. The anime benefits from that breadth: “Cub” is not one personality, but a platform each rider makes her own.
Current Japanese-market routes into the Cub idea
These three current choices emphasise daily mobility, crossover style or CT-family utility.
Licence classes and availability vary by country. In Japan, the Super Cub 110 Lite, Cross Cub 110 and CT125 do not all share the same licence or road rules.
Common questions
What model year is Koguma's Super Cub?
The official character page introduces it as a “Super Cub 50” but does not state a model year.
Which postal Cub does Reiko ride?
The official profile names a Honda MD90 postal Cub and says that she later changes to a CT110.
Is today's CT125 the same as Reiko's CT110?
No. The CT125 Hunter Cub is a current Japanese-market way to enjoy a related CT-family character.
