It's official - the Honda Super Cub is still on Honda North America's product line for 2023, and the color will be pearl gray! Of all the US-export colors so far (starting with pearl nitrava blue in 2019, pearl nebula red in 2020, and matte crypton silver mettalic in 2021), this is my favorite. 

Changes for 2023 are minor, with a few engine tweaks and redesigned muffler/silencer internals.

My wish list for 2024?  (1) Add a kickstart, Honda!  The tiny batteries in motorcycles often go dead, and without a kickstarter (and an override of the (stupid, IMHO) electronic key system), there's no way to start this thing when the battery goes flat. How is that progress?  (2) Wire wheels, please! (3) Full (two-wheel) ABS. (4) Introduce Cub-themed side bags/cases, helmets, and jackets.
