A proper Honda CT125 review!

Рет қаралды 510,987

Күн бұрын

It's no secret we've been excited about Honda's launch of the CT125.
Previous editions of the bike are a staple in the New Zealand Small Bike scene and having owned a Honda with the same power plant, I know just how much potential this model has.
But does it live up to the hype? Does it need a low range gear box? Does it actually handle off road? Can it maintain highway speeds?
All these questions and more, answered in our latest video.
Thanks to Motomart for inviting us to check out the Honda CT125! Check them out here:

Agreed - I belong to a motorcycle club of 43 members, who all have "baggers", mostly Harleys. I am the only one with a very aggressive looking "sport bike" (Kawasaki Ninja 400 KRT ABS), which is much lighter and nimbler than theirs, and I get to play with ALL the gears during a trip. I guarantee you that I have more smiles/mile than they do, and I do it at the age of 76.5 years (Imperial, not metric). ; )

Nah bro your opinion is wrong. If you’re not riding at least a 1400cc Indian sport bobber or a 500cc 2 stroke when you go trail cruising then you just shouldn’t even go. It straight up won’t be fun without any less power 🙁

Well except for the Earls link front suspension, a horrible leftover from the pressed steel Honda Dreams that should have been retired in the early 1960's. I had a 1970's K1 trail 90 with a PowRoll 125 stroker kit, it hardly needed the 4X4 transmission and it had telescopic forks.

My buddies and I all rode 80cc and 100cc Yamaha street bikes in the mid-1960's, except for one of us who rode a 'Honda Trail 80'. We laughed at it and called it 'the tractor'. It couldn't keep up with us on the highway, but could go anywhere on the off-road far better than we could. And it NEVER failed to start after the first kick. Great bike. Tough, reliable, economical. Wish I had one now.

Love the video, reminded me of my youth and all the abuse we would give those little Honda's, and they just kept on running along. Back in the day, they cost around $300US here in the states.

These were the original Adventure Bikes!

As the owner of a CT110 with dual range they do go anywhere but you have to have grip. On a steep slope on grippy rock you have to lean right forward to stop the torque lifting the front wheel. When I come to grief on long steep climbs it is always loss of grip due to the dual sport tyres. I am looking at getting at getting another rear wheel to set up with a knobbly for off road use only. I think the 125 would have made it up that slope without a run up if it had a knobbly.

Excellent footage and review! Looked super fun. If u have a minute, I'm looking at this or the Suzuki VanVan 200 for a first bike. Do u think the VanVan could do the stuff you did in this video & have similar amount of fun? VanVan looks cool, has plush seat, and 200cc but this Honda looks dead easy to maintain & has stuff like ABS & disc brakes on both wheels.

I've ridden a Van Van 125 - but not the 200. It's a good bike to ride, no doubt. It will hold open road speed better. But it would be a bit more cumbersome to operate off road - though it could definitely handle it. The big thing with the Van Van for me is the huge rear tyre is difficult to source in New Zealand - not impossible, but options are very limited. Arguably the Honda has more options available off the shelf. I would probably choose the CT125, but it's no secret I'm a Honda fan. If someone offered me a Van Van 200 I would definitely take it for a ride and have a tonne of fun, I just prefer the Honda. I think with this choice it comes down to personal preference.

@@SmallBikeStuff Awesome, thanks man. The tyre availability is a real thing to think about. I loved your videos through Malaysia & Thailand!

Nice review. How does the weight feel? I seem to remember the CT90 was like 180lbs or something and this bike is 260?? How do they make it so much heavier? Does it at least feel comparable?

Wish it still had Low range option (2speed, hi/low)

Yeah Honda really kind of dropped the ball there. On the upside the engine is an undersquare stroker and this bike does have large jumps between the gears, so first gear is nearly as adequate as having the 4X4 transmission on the 89cc bike.
