VLOG: Super Cub Acceleration and Top Speed Tests
It's Thursday morning (2019-05-16), and I'm taking the Cub for my commute today. I need to pick up some computers for a customer, and I'm running late as usual. Skip to the end of this description for clickable time indexes.
I had a viewer request more speedometer views for the Cub to show how well the bike keeps up with the flow of traffic. So, I flogged the Cub pretty hard today with lots of full-throttle acceleration tests and a few top speed runs on the highway.
The GoPro gauges are up to their normal quirks for the first few minutes of the video, but they finally catch up around the 4:45 mark. You can see my relative throttle position by watching the cruise control lever on the throttle... straight up (about 90 degrees) is wide-open and zero throttle is flat/forward against the brake lever.
Time indexes:
0:00 : Recording with a chest camera and the Helequip Helmic today
2:08 : I'm running very behind on my video editing and posting, still trying to catch up from my family emergency in Oklahoma
3:55 : The first of many full-throttle acceleration tests, 0-50 mph but the GoPro gauges weren't working properly
4:45 : The GoPro gauges finally catch up and are accurate from this point forward
6:02 : Full-throttle acceleration test, 0-50 mph into a 10-15 mph headwind
7:47 : Showing throttle position using the cruise control lever as a visual reference
8:14 : Full-throttle 3rd gear pull up to redline, 25-50 mph
8:37 : Discussion about the +1 tooth front sprocket change, should make a ~400 RPM reduction in top gear
9:23 : Another full-throttle 3rd gear pull up to redline, 40-50 mph
10:35 : Thoughts on the Super Cub as a first motorcycle... it would be a good bike for anyone that doesn't need to make extended commutes or highway speeds (above 55 mph) because it doesn't have enough power or range for those duties
11:43 : Demonstrating the missed gear indicator "--" problem that another user mentioned... just shift down while still rolling to avoid that problem
14:26 : Riding the Cub in moderate traffic on IH-10... up on the super slab!
15:00 : Top speed run yields 64 mph on GPS
15:45 : Another top speed run sees the same 64 mph top speed
