I put a sheep skin on my 22' CT seat, and it made a world of difference. Did a 1300 mile trip and it wasn't to bad on the as*. I've had it on there the total 33, 000 miles of the bike. (the bike still runs excellent, Honda Reliability)

I love the CT125! Really is a solid bike, the new yellow one they released also looks amazing! It’s not all about speed but that little extra oumph would make it a right solid trail bike 💪🏼 Viva!

If Honda bring them to the UK I’d be interested for sure! But for now, the Dax is a great alternative! 👍🏼

Used to go down the M6 to work on my C90 but kept getting pulled up by the fuzz thereby being late for work (they thought it was a 50)! The other way was a big dip where I'd build up some speed for the oncoming hill which put a huge strain on the poor little 90. Was a real fight to get to the top I wince even now when I think about it.

No way I could take the seat hardness. Took mine to get reupholstered and added pading. Corbin now offers a seat for it as well.

the ONLY down side is from factory they dont seem to have any grease on the axles and are a bit of a job to get the wheel off after a year or so riding on the UK roads.

Poor bike travelled all that way and ended up in leigh. 😢 What are the odds. 😂😂😂

i live in South Florida USA. i got the 2022 ( Red in early 2024 when i could actually find one... ) i was shooting for the green BUT i quickly fell in <3 with the red ( same as my original honda 78' 50 ) in 22' it didnt come with an oil pump ( glad about that now. $$$ i do not have to spend on nothing ((filters etc..._)) ) it also did not have the adjustable shocks. things i changed ? after dumping it... ( a simple curb ended up in hospital with 5 stitches on my forehead. ) also with the damage report which is basically the front fender got scratched, also the headlight, + the grip on the right ( just the end thingy mabob ) in total it would be over $500 to repair it to new... i changed the tires to knobby 3.0's ( luv them and there is no more slippin' and slidin' ) i also changed to a red seat which is slightly more comfortable. i added the front rack ( above headlight which is $300+ btw to replace luckily it still works perfectly ) i use a hip pack as my glovey. and i have the extended rack ( for the back ) and a set of adjustable shocks that BOTH still need to be installed. i also added the usb A/usb C ports in the front which also gives you the battery voltage ( recommended ) i put on the front 'trail 125' placard which is lighted but i think i am going to ultimately ditch it for a chrome HONDA logo i have seen for sale on ebay. i also also added the crash bars around the engine and took them right the F off after a few months as they add too much weight and did little more then give me a place to mount my 4 speaker stereo ( GOHAWK ) which i loved because i am in to music but i also removed. the things i personally love are all that you mentioned AND additionally you do NOT need insurance for a motorcycle in FL ( of course you would still be liable ) you just need a motorcycle endorsement on your license AND ( this might p/o some ppl ) you are NOT required to have a helmet ( i know i know crazy right .... ? ) i am fairly lightweight due to a previous serious accident so ive gotten mine up to 61-62 mph but for the most part with the mentioned changes ^^^ it cruises comfortably at 55. i would like it to be able to be taken on the highways ( not only legally but so i could compete with the other traffic etc... they drive crazy here. ) but thats a no-go and i am OK with it. they do have other honda models that can do 70-75 or so ( with me of course <125 lbs ) which are actually lighter in total weight but i am pretty happy with the TRAIL 125. i still need to work out a few things and make a few tweaks ( like adjusting the tranny ) and since it was a 22' the battery is some times failing... i could prolly get that replaced under warranty from the dealer BUT i instead bought a featherweight battery that is LIPO and has 24ah of cranking power :) IF i were to endulge in another i think i would get the ADV instead of the GROM but i will admit i was tempted by both and originally went to look at the NAVI. ( glad i did not get it ! ) there is a LOT of ppl here though that love those GROM's they even have their own section at the monthly bike meet... thanks for the video ! ! !

Viva! Thanks for the video. I'm in the US and my wife has a Super Cub. I've considered that the CT 125 and Super Cub are very similar in many ways. The main problem I experience with her bike is finding a comfortable position for my left foot while trying not to press on the heal toe shifter. My feet are size 11 US. Not like I'm a sasquatch or anything... You didn't mention it, but have you experience any problems like this with your bike?

[mykie]

Viva Dean. If you had to pick 1, would it be the monkey or the CT?

Why didn't you save people searching through Facebook forums and say who you got YOUR insurance with. Just saying!
