t80 or cub

if youhad to choose between your t80 or your cub ,that is all you that have both and most of you have which would choose,i would choose the cub for one reason only spares

I would choose the T80, a) I have plenty of spares b) I think it is a better built machine than the Honda Cub ie shaft drive & 4 gears (early Cubs only had 3) the engine is better designed as it has ball bearings on the cam shaft, the Cub relies on the camshaft running directly in the alloy head casting. If it wears you need a new head. The main week point of the T80 is the lighting, the direct 6v system is not good, but at least you dont rely on a battery. I think the later Cubs had battery lighting

you have the good furturn of haveing a shed full of spares,unlike me,i like the t80 to ride best but as ive said cub spares sre easy to get,how are you these days john must be getting on for a year since i was up your way,going to ut that engine in this summer if it stays fine longenough

Well they sold a zillion cubs which alone is a statment on its own I like the T80 for its shaft drive buts that only my opion as I think chain drive is stoneage as are 2 strokes witchcraft

my cub and t80 are on par speedwise but the cub is easy to ride in stop go traffic cos of the ability to push down from top to neutrol
