I wouldn't hold my breath for market perspectives after the initial excitement, but if Honda does the right marketing approach it can benefit from a similar cult status as the BMW Mini and the Fiat 500 which somewhat releases it from the burden of being seen as a no-frills workhorse and then being seen as something desirable despite its humble origins.

Maybe. The Grom has been very popular with younger people as an "cool" alternative to a scooter. The Super Cub is just a Grom in a more functional form. Still, I expect to see more Super Cubs on the back of RVs than running around with Gen Y or Z riders.
The problem with both is they are legally (and functionally) limited to surface streets due the engine size. At 150cc they would be a fully functional motorcycle. At 125cc they are a scooter in a different form.
I'm considering buying one but I think the top speed is going to be too low for my purpose. I need 60 mph with a 200 lb rider.
