Honda cub type motorcycle or in Indonesia, better known as duck, first developed in Japan in 1957. The bike is now so popular in Asia, and arguably become the starting point of the motorcycle revolution in the world.

Starting a long journey and the many challenges already felt, first about the design and latest technology at that time. For example, 4-stroke OHV engine capacity 50cc engine it. Although only 4.5 Dk-powered, the machine becomes more breakthrough amid the many motorcycles that use 2-stroke engines at the time.

Not only that, Honda is also developing a centrifugal clutch so the driver can still control the bike with one hand. As reported by Realclassic, Tuesday, August 16, 2011, made ​​the reason of this technology, is to accommodate the needs of the food delivery restaurants in Japan that uses one hand to control the bike.

Log in February 1957 the development of body design is done. Soichiro Honda, founder of Honda is quite concerned design problem. Soichiro even advised to be made compact and comfortable design that fits with everyday life. One of the challenges of comfort is when Honda chose 17-inch rim. Wheel diameter was chosen because it was still a lot of streets in Japan are not yet paved.

The problem is there are no major tire manufacturers in Japan to make a special size just for one type of motorcycle. Fortunately, Honda found a supplier willing to make special sizes for Honda.

Finally in 1958, Duck Honda sold the first official mass with the name Super Cub C100, and sold 55 thousand yen. A year later this bike into the U.S. market and then followed in Europe in 1961. This genre also continues to this day. Even in Indonesia, the duck is still quite popular. From January to July 2010 alone has sold 2,050,656 units.

The rapid material advance of the last 200 years has provided more comfortable lives in several meaningful ways: It has led to longer lifespans, conquest of diseases, and the ability of the human population to grow more rapidly and securely than at any time in previous history. (It also has provided the means of transforming social and family relations, liberating women from historically “women’s work” on the farm or in the home.) In other words, human ingenuity, technology, and innovation have largely succeeded, in wealthy nations at least, in approximating the abundance of the Garden of Eden.

However, no exertion on humanity’s part, and no conceivable innovation in technology, can succeed in re-creating the original innocence of humans in the Garden of Eden. There is perhaps a corollary here: This approximation of Eden still partakes fully of human sin.

The central insight of environmentalism is that humanity’s great leap in material progress has come at a high cost to nature: we tear down entire mountains for their minerals; divert rivers and streams and drain swamps to provide water for modern agriculture and urban use; clear large amounts of forests for other uses, often disrupting crucial habitat for rare animal species; and too often dump our waste byproducts thoughtlessly into the air, water, and land.

Human ingenuity, technology, and innovation have largely succeeded, in wealthy nations at least, in approximating the abundance of the Garden of Eden.

But this insight contains a paradox. Environmentalism arose precisely because we have mitigated the material harshness of human life through the Industrial Revolution; as Aldo Leopold, author of the classic environmental book A Sand County Almanac, put it: “These wild things had little human value until mechanization assured us of a good breakfast.”iv It is no coincidence that environmental sensibility arose first and has its strongest influence in wealthy nations. The affluent society does not wish to be the effluent society. Meanwhile, the poorest and most undeveloped nations of Africa, Asia, and Latin America today suffer the worst environmental degradation and have the least public support for environmental protection. The wealth and technological innovation (spurred more by markets than government dictates) of industrialized nations provides the means for environmental improvement and remediation. …
