Honda Cub F
Type of motorcycle
The Honda Cub F is a motorized bicycle, sometimes also categorized as a moped, introduced by Honda in 1952. It was a "clip-on" gasoline engine kit for bicycles produced by other manufacturers, identified by the slogan the white tank and the red engine (白いタンクに赤いエンジン) and popular for a design that prevented the two-stroke engine exhaust and oil from hitting the rider. The Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan (in Japanese), includes the 1952 Honda Cub F as one of their 240 Landmarks of Japanese Automotive Technology.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
