This is only the second one of these that I've seen. The other one was in SE Minnesota - and the owner was gracious enough to let me have a good ride with it.
Probably as much about nostalgia as anything else, but I wanted one, and so this one followed me home.
LOL - the weather this morning is 34 degrees. It'll be a while before it goes out. In the mean time, Ima put a little red bow on it, for Christmas.

Cool indeed! Is a aux. fuel can available for those like the originals had?

I am just now discovering the multitude of farkles. Don't know about the original aux fuel, but I've seen pictures of a rotopax mounted to the left side. The bike's gas tank holds 1.4 gallons, and 0.25 gallons is "reserve" Might be handy, even if it gets 100 mpg.

We have one and two Super Cubs, probably the most fun factor in the stable, even wiith my big butt on them. Great minds think alike friend!!

Nice Kevin. Sloans had one on the floor when I was buying the V85TT. I was surprised at how large a bike it was. If I didn't already have the Van Van, I would have worked out a bundle purchase. I was very tempted.

Wow I’d load that up w camping gear and cross the continent, maybe do a circle tour of Australia…
Who was that guy that did that?
Huzo to the courtesy phone 📞
And then I woke up. :grin:
Awesome looking bike!! I want to hotjet the exhaust white!

I'm thinking that this thing will be easy enough to load up on a receiver hitch carrier thingy.

There's a Revzilla video out there of an original Trail 90 and one of these 125's on a trek up thru Alaska. LOL - funny in places. Decent video.

I always liked the old 90 and the new ones are cool also. Figured one of those would be great to leave at the little house we have on cape cod for beating around on.

Actually, that would be pretty cool accessory, if available. You're talking about that fat canteen-looking thing that was mounted to the back, under the rack, right ?

Maybe get you an aluminum trailer and pull it behind the HD or the 1400 Goose?👍

First bike I ever drove was the original Trail 90. The kind where you had to add a sprocket extension and chain links for the "trail" part of the experience!

Never had a Trail 90, but my second motorcycle at age 15 was a 1967 black & chrome Honda S90, just like this one! :thumb: :bow: :cool: :boozing: Cool little bike! :cool: :boozing:

does that have the semi automatic clutch activated by the shift lever like the 1960's models?
great fun to wheelie. put it in first, hold down and the shift lever, rev it up and "pop the sift lever'
I know the Honda 50 cubs used to get 150+ mpg on a regular basis. I would often get 120 mpg from my 1985 XL350R.
the marketeers at Honda understand the phrase "You're only young once. But you can be immature the rest of your life!"
Who wouldn't pay good money for that?
-

It does. 4-speed, all "up". Just keep kicking down and ya hit neutral.
hahahha it has a little bitty 65 CCA battery. Electric start, and a kicker. All LED lights, but probably lucky if it has enough charging overhead for heated grips.

If you get a few inches of snow...... that will be the most fun bike in your fleet. Dress warm. Multiple layers also helps increase the bounce factor!!! :grin:

Congrats! You'll have a lot of fun with that little bike. Mine has been a blast around town, as a grocery getter, in the snow, riding trails, and out motocamping.

The original aux tanks are rare and expensive, but there are many new alternatives ranging from fuel bags (not something I'd trust the seams on) and plastic containers, to metal fuel bottles. I have a 2L spare fuel bottle on my CT125.
-
I’ve had my original for 50 years. I don’t care for the red, waiting for the Tan color and plan to get one then.

You come to Australia and I will get one for you and come with you around again….(Or you can go alone…)

Don’t fart around with stupid farkles..
Get on the bastard and go….! A big trip on one of those, really drags you back to basics and even though you’re alone, you meet some old friends from the past.
The mud on the hot engine with the putt…putt…putt of the little single is cathartic.

Yep! I think the canteen style aux tank is not only neat looking but a nice conversation doo dad.....a useful smart farkle. Then you'd be all set for that Euro ride Huzo was has planning in another post. Imho, the original ct90 & 110's have appreciated so much in value in the last few years that if I still desired one I'd probably opt for the new ct125.

Dad will be looking down and proud as punch..!

My bike is not as good as the new CT125, but I’ve learned to adapt.
The XR 250 tank I think is 9 litres and the under seat one is about 5 litres.
At 3.0 litres/100 km, that is a full day of riding on one fill.

Hondas are RED.
Kawasakis are GREEN (and so are John Deere tractors)

Deb and I have always love the little trails and cubs. We had two 1981 C70 Cubs 6 volt, and a 1968 CT90 Trail 90 for years. With my size 30-35 mph was top speed, so fine around town but not out on the open road, so when they brought out the super cub and trails back as 125's we had to have them. The will run 50-55 with my big but, and are so much fun. The 17" wheel make them handle like they are on rails. The CUbs use a Key Fob and the trail still uses a ket which I prefer.
We really love the 125's, we can run main roads now, longest trip so far a 80 miles of smiles. The only real complaint is, I had to add mirror extentions to see around my big body, but that was no big deal. We have had a blast on these

I want a CT 125 Hunter and would buy one but Honda aren't making them available to Europe. Could be something to do with Euro 5, I don't know? Shame really as they're a splendid little bike.

Yeah, especially if you were considering a fly & ride of Europe with one of guys here.

Well....6 bikes in garage, 2 in shed and one in the basement......and waiting on V100 or probably the new Stelvio!

I enjoyed watching your videos. :thumb:
HEY ! It's not fair that you have a collection of them, and I only have one.
However, I DID get inspiration from seeing your bikes parked in the living room (from your pics). :boozing:
My wife nixed the living room parking notion - but I did find a nice warm spot in the utility room. :boozing: :boozing:
It's 17 degrees this morning (outside)

There are some riders with grey market CT125s in Europe. The 2023 Model Year CT125 that is released in Southeast Asia is Euro 5 compliant. Honda isn't keeping up with current demand, but when they do maybe it will make its way to more markets.

That's interesting.
I went to the Honda website to check on the color selection - and they show only red. 2021 and 2022.
Previous (non-USA) years ?

I was told the green and tan are not yet in America but will eventually be offered.
Other countries get other colors,

During the late 60's, there was an explosion of these small bikes. There were little Honda, Yamaha, Benelli, Suzuki, rebadged Aermacchi Harley's and more. Those little CT70's were everywhere. I plunked down my hard-earned lawnmowing/hay baling/whatever odd job dollars on a brand new Honda SL100 enduro.
And we rode EVERYWHERE. The Trail 90 guys had that big rack on the back, and we'd pile all of our stuff on there. :boozing:
I had this exact bike.

I saw 2 CT125 Trails for sale at Royal Enfield of Fort Worth last week. I know those guys but I am not affiliated.

Never heard that marketing term. "Fastest moving" What does that even mean?

Here is my 77 XL125 Tiddler next to Sebby's 175. Bought it with 250 miles on it a few years back now have 1200 or so. Fun little bike.

Marketing terms don't always equate to real or measurable things, but I would imagine in this context they're implying that the Hondas were selling fast and in high numbers.
The Honda Super Cub currently has the unique claim of being the "best-selling" motor vehicle ever at over 100 million units sold.
-
There are a couple of interesting articles out on the web in regard to the Honda Cub.
I think they've been manufactured since 1958 and in 15 countries.
50cc, 70, 90, 110, and 125cc. Probably missed one.
Here's a 1958 version
