Honda Super Cub C50
The original Super Cub C50 is the most-produced motor vehicle ever built. Soichiro Honda and designer Hiroshi Ota created a machine that could be ridden with one hand. Its three-speed semi-automatic transmission (with no clutch lever) allowed complete novices to ride confidently. Honda's slogan "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" transformed motorcycling's image.
