Honda classic motorcycle Super Cub built
This is Honda Cub the latest build from SMC, nicknamed Dirty Donkey. “Yes, it does sound like the title of an obscure 70s porn movie,” admits SMC, “but it‘s nothing to do with that. It’s a bike meant to be happy on the dirt track.”
As with all SMC builds, the Cub frame has been modified with the help of welding wizard Jaap Volkers. A Honda C50 rear fender has been expertly grafted on, and the tank is a Honda Camino item that’s been cut-and-shut and flipped 180 degrees. The suspension is custom, as are the side covers. The hand controls are vintage Tommaselli.
Hiding the wiring was a challenge, but worthwhile the front end is especially neat. “It took me over a day to make it work. Now I understand why even the bigger motorcycle brands don’t, because it’s just too labor intensive to justify the cost.” Dimitri had the exhaust fabricated before painting, and after a few issues with the rubber mountings, a synthetic rubber bushing solved the problems and Dirty Donkey was done.
