I promised I would review this when I had time. Sorry for the wait though. Thanks!  ΤheQ Editor  ^Talk? 19:43, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Development

• "unlike other Japanese companies did not" change to "unlike other Japanese companies, they did not"

✓ --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:45, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

• The last sentence in paragraph 1 is too long. There are too many cases of semi colons.
• You don't have to put a citation at the end of every sentence. If you are using 1 footnote to cite multiple consecutive sentences, only cite it at the very end. (not required for GAC)

✓ --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:45, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

• "His goal was export on a scale" change to "His goal was exported on a scale"

✓? See below. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:45, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

• wikilink die cast

✓ --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:45, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

• "run at full capacity" - run should be ran

✓ --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:45, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

• The picture either needs to be a full sentence or have no period at the end.

✓ --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:45, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Design

• There are two "and"s in the sentence of "It moved the engine down and away from the seat," perhaps replacing the first "and" with "it"

✓ fixed Brianhe (talk)

• "and it made possible larger wheels." should be "and made it possible for larger wheels."

✓ changed to "made it possible to fit larger wheels" Brianhe (talk)

• The sentence "Though some of the many Super Cub variations..." is too long.

✓ split into two, trimmed second sentence Brianhe (talk)

• "his was an extremely simple motorcycle," - "extremely" sounds too biased. Cross extremely out.

✓ fixed Brianhe (talk)

• File:Honda Super Cub at Seattle Children's Museum1.jpg's caption isn't a complete sentence. Make it a complete sentence or drop the period.

✓ fixed Brianhe (talk)

• Why use "@"? Is that a special annotation, if so link to the page.

✓ spelled out "at" Brianhe (talk) 00:15, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

"You meet the nicest people on a Honda"

• The heading needs to meet WP:Headings. Change it to "Advertising" or anything else you feel appropriate.

✓ Changed to "Advertising campaign that invented lifestyle marketing" Brianhe (talk)

• FN 37 doesn't say anything about ""added to the macho Harley image."

 Question: I see it in the next-to-last paragraph on page 45. Are you sure you didn't miss this? Brianhe (talk)

Link. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 00:09, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

• File:Supercubca100.JPG's caption isn't a complete sentence. Make it a complete sentence or drop the period.

✓ fixed Brianhe (talk)

• File:Harley-Davidson Young America advertisement.jpg same thing as above

✓ fixed Brianhe (talk) 00:04, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Model History

• "until 1967" - what happened? You may want to reword the order of it
• "After 1980 the USA C70 was called the C70 Passport." - expand on that or merge that in another paragraph.

✓ --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:03, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

• FN 41 looks good to me. Consider removing the [better source] tag.

✓ --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:03, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

• File:Honda Dream 110i Super Cub ND110M 2014 Right.JPG needs a proper caption

✓ --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:03, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

• "In late 1960" - should be "In the late 1960s"
• "When you talk about Japanese" - did the quote ever end?

✓ --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:03, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

@Dennis Bratland and Brianhe: There are still some issues in this section. After those are fixed, welcome the article to GA!  ΤheQ Editor  ^Talk? 01:30, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

I didn't mean before to imply were were done. Now it looks like we've fixed 'em all. Let us know. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:03, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Current popularity

• "The Super Cub was included The Guggenheim's" - should be "The Super Cub was included in The Guggenheim's"

References

• ref 52, 49 and 51 are dead

✓ fixed Brianhe (talk) 23:49, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Questions/comments

• "His goal was export on a scale" change to "His goal was exported on a scale"
  • Fujisawa didn't want to export his goal. His goal was to have large-scale exports of bikes. Maybe it should say "...was to export motorcycles on a scale..."
• Why use "@"? Is that a special annotation, if so link to the page.
  • I can't find any preference for @ or 'at' on peak torque or hp. FAs Talbot Tagora and Sunbeam Tiger use @. I wish Torque had fewer physics formulas and more plain English explanations of why we express torque (and hp) this way. I don't know where else to link.
• "In late 1960" - should be "In the late 1960s"
  • This is from a chart; the year was definitely 1960, per p. 39 of same source. Probably "mid" is more accurate than late, or just "In 1960" if we don't know the month. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 23:27, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
