2022 Honda Super Cub in matte black

UPDATE (December 7, 2021):

Honda America announced today that the 2022 Honda Super Cub (C125) will, indeed, be the matte black color. 

The 2022 model of the Honda Cub has been announced, and although Honda hasn't confirmed the color for this year's US model, it's probably going to be the same as the EU model - matte black! This is first for the Super Cub, as this color has never been seen before. Blue, red, yellow, green, white, and black - yes, but matte black (looks like more of a gray to me, but whatever) is a first! There's a chance they might go with the powder blue color that is also new for the line this year and available in Thailand, and it should be noted that Honda doesn't always send the same color to the EU and US, so - we'll see.

Other than the new color, the '22 has a few other differences compared to earlier model years. Probably the most welcome of these is the pillion seat, cargo rack, and passenger pegs that are now standard. The start system electronics have been enhanced - you can now have the turn signals flash remotely by activating the "find me" button on the fob, in case you've forgotten where you parked.

The motor has had some minor changes as well, increasing horsepower slightly, and the suspension has been tweaked (probably to better handle 2-up riding).

My advice to anyone who's sitting on the fence regarding buying a Super Cub is, if you think you might want one in the future, better buy it. Nobody can say how committed Honda is to the "MiniMoto" line, and in the past they've re-introduced the Cub to the US market only to cancel it again after a few years.
