Great news that Australia is getting the wee beast but are you happy with the price$$?

LOL... that was a surprise! Thanks for the shout out :-) My thought... just too expensive for me to consider as a second bike just for a bit of fun! Cheers... Mark

The Thailand price of 85,000 Thai Baht equals 3,904.55 Australian Dollars that’s a huge difference if you one I’ll purchase here and export it you....!!!

Best bet is to leave them all in the showrooms for a year then see how much the discount rated price will be.

I live in the US and have been waiting on the updates for here as well, I heard November. I do like the retro look and I was looking into a super cub as well as a monkey. The reasons for this are, I’m only 5’4” and have sort legs. Also, I’m not really an experienced rider but, would like to have something to put put around where I live. And not a scooter.

Who knows how long Honda will make these so I totally would buy one... PLEASE COME TO THE USA HONDA...

Do like the looks of the Honda in the sand color. But that's €4305. Just €500 less then Royal Enfiield Himalayan! Also a vintage-bike, a head-turner (in Europe), an easy ride and much more travel-capable.

Holy crap. Same price as CRF250L.

I’m from Australia, & I’m hoping that Aust Post buys them again. Then we can get them from the auctions like we have been.

Your lucky!!! I wish it would come to Canada

chronicl Mate the price is going to kill the sales . yep their cool and all [ BUT ] Thanks ✌

A friend of my dad's found a CT90 in the dump. It had the lever front end. He gave it my brother and I to get going , which we did, but no-one wanted to ride it.

Cool and fun little machines- but damn the price! $4999 they would of had lots more sales. CRF of KLR for sure for mini ADV riding at that price. Sweet review man 👍

Sounds like a huge group buy is the way to go.

$ 6999 + ORC . . . BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA ! Mr Honda must be smoking crack . .

Crazy pricing! A Honda 150 winner here in a Vietnam has better specs than the CT125 and it's only $3500au. Honda deserves to lose money with this bike.

Paid a lot less for my Royal Enfield classic 500 new , made it into a capable adventure bike for less than that so I'll be waiting a couple of years for my new postie bike second or third hand... sorry honda I did really want one but not paying crf money for a tarted up monkey bike.

$ 2,000 too expensive for me, $3,999 is a good price for a 125 regardless how well it's packaged

Just ordered one down here in new Zealand not that cheep $7300 hopefully get it in November Cheers

Tell him he's dreaming.

Thay might as well leave it in honkers at that price range at a time like this thay are shooting them self in the foot

The hunter cub in Thailand is about $2,700 US. my thinking is to go to Thailand buy one there ride it around Southeast Asia ship it to Australia, ride it around there then ship it back to Hawaii. I think I can do it all for a little more than the price it would cost in the US Plus air fare. It wouldn't be new by the time I get it home but what the heck, neither will I.

MSRP in the US is $4089 with destination charge, which would be $5550 AUD. Sales tax would be added to this price and varies from State to State. In my State it is about 6.25%. Unless the US and Austrailian versions are substantially different, they have clearly jacked up the price for the Austrailian market.

Beginers like a motorbike that they can drop, and beat up without it causing too much in the way of blemishes. With a few aftermarket parts the ct125 can meet this requirement. Obviously a used one is even better. A low center of gravity is another requirement. Cheap DIY maintenance is also important. If you add versatility, well, that's a plus. The former 110's were used by postal workers for a good reason. If you take into account inflation, and new import tarrifs it definitely notches the price up.

I never would spend that kind of money on a 125 scooter crazy.

These would be fantastic in CANADA!

Cool bike, way too expensive. I paid less for my KLR

Price is silly, small cc lovers will stick with grom/z125, dualsporters wont bite, collectors have the monkey. IMO if they set price at 5k they would sell 4 times as many, they'd make more money and we'd probably see them everywhere as they are a touch more functional than groms or scooters

If it was $4k, maybe. $6k, doubt it.

Shame, as the exact same bike is much, much cheaper in Thailand. Picked up my new CRF 250 Rally with £500 off it. Hopefully once they've been out a while, dealerships will offer decent discount (hope they do bring the CT-125 here to the UK... will probably be expensive too though)

It is great its coming, but agree the price tag is a little off putting! The question I've been asking and still can't get a straight answer is - Does this new CT125 come with the Hi/Lo gear ratio change switch on the engine casing that the CT110 had? To me this is my show stopper, and if not will it be on the 2021 version - if so I'll wait!

Nuts

Who do they think they are Harley? We know how that's working out?

I'd want one as my fun ADV bike here in Canada...but you can buy a rebel 500 for that.

Beautiful little bike, but to expensive for a 125. At such a pricelevel, I'd prefer the CRF250L. Last week, I was told by a Belgian Honda dealer that in 2021, the CRF250L will be replaced by a CRF300L. Now that sounds interesting ...

The "postie" you all love but now with more motor, disc brakes, EFI and ABS up front. What's not to love?

I'd pay that for the TW200 if they came back to Oz but not for a polished postie

I live in 🇨🇦. I expect if (when) it arrives it will be pricy. That being said I am older than dirt with 4 motorcycles already. I will buy it as soon as it’s available. I’ve literally had dozens of motorcycles and this would be my first Honda motorcycle. I’m not adverse to them they just simply haven’t built a motorcycle I’ve wanted at the time. Until now. I have 2 Honda (eu2000, eu7000) generators and a 12-32 track drive Honda snowblower. Being older and mortgage free plus already having several motorcycles I can afford it. As I tell my daughter I’m not leaving money. Just lots of stuff. She says no problem, she can easily sell most of it.

Interesting.. I keep wanting to go lighter as I get older....

Thailand sells these at about $3,000 USD, and 440,000 yen ($4151 USD) in Japan, U.S. market will be even higher. Bikes sales numbers are dropping like a rock. Harley's will be out of business in the near future. I might just leave the 2 wheeled market all together. I'm a 50 year rider, 14 y/o to 64 now, and I'm not interested in those prices, and I have the money, but I refuse to pay these prices. Japan has never been cheap, but someone has to stop perpetuating these price hikes.

no wonder stamps are going up in price.

In Norway the crf250l sels for 9100Austrailian dollars, the ct125 god only knows.

When u can get the ag bike Honda 190 for $50000 ?????

I know it's only a 125 but a 5.3lt tank is way to small for any adv riding and for me, this would be a purchase using the heart not the head.

You meet the nicest people on a Honda. Except in Australia.

I think it should be the same price range as the monkey. I would really like one but have no more room anyway.

It's a great concept and is actually the most versatile motorcycle on the market, suitable for absolute beginners of any age, commuters, adventure riders and on the back of an RV. Buts its not worth 2 bikes cost. I will wait for the other manufacturers to copy the concept with a much more modern design and at a lower cost. At which point a second hand CT125 wont be worth much more than a CT110

Tell them they're dreamin'

Never but still interesting

Similar price to RE Himalayan!!

I like the bike, but not at that price point.

Is there another bike that's like this but cheaper that you'd recommend?

I still can’t understand why would you buy this over RE Himalayan which costs the same

Why wouldn't a Honda 125 Enduro be more appropriate?

hi dearer in nz if cant afford get a ct 125 honda scooter still over 7000 in nz as is ct125 trail bike in nz when arrive late in year probably due to nz gst and freight ex japan..last choice buy older models and re store.id say wont sell many in nz..how much in japan of course have to get it and ship it over. cute machine last forever like postie bikes.i have a 125 yamaha tricity brought new round 5000 only done 5000 kms 155 cc is 6000 odd here the new 300cc coming be alot dearer maybe 7500 plus bucks. cheers good luck honda dealers.

So much money for that little turd? I don't know what are they smoking there at Honda.

Like it but the RE Himalayan and others are better option.

if in thailand not sure if been made there if selling for 3904 near double in aussie and nz dearer again.id have to marry a thai or japanese gal to get it cheaper huh wish them well plenty of options but hondas some become icons and collectors items cheers.

@Honda USA - We need this! Contact me!!!

I like it and I am 70 beats a buggy.

I'd choose a Kawasaki KLX 230 instead for that kind of money.

I would rather save up more money and go for a Triumph Scrambler.

Too Much! HONDA is going to have to come down if they plan on selling it overseas. There are other adventure bikes on the market for a lot less!

Price is too high. Long term cost in maintainance and parts will be far, far lower than most other bikes however so there is that to consider. I'd also rather drop a ct125 on a trail than a $20-30K Ktm or Bmw...reckon I would be laughing as I picked up the Honda vs shedding a tear.

Rusty shiv indeed!

This is nonsense from Honda, the original development cost of the whole CT range up to the CT200 was covered in the 70s, by massive sales to agriculture, they are detuned XL models from that era.

$6999 Australian = $4864 US and yes I am still in at that price. Just waiting for Honda to bring it here.

This bike is pointless at intended price point on price it competes with G310GS, Himalayan, Versys X, CRF250L, etc.. even 390 ADV is not far off. And then there's a slightly used market. Honda just doesn't want to sell them.

Price sucks

Ha Ha all You doomsayers, its now October and I have ordered one, next available is January 2021....Thats how popular they are.

Put that mo ey on a real motorcycle !

Honda's way of doing business, start high and come down to what the market will pay.

This is an insult to Australia. 125cc bikes in Thailand sell new for around AUD $1,500, on the road. Australian motorcyclists are being ripped off. Often paying 100% more than in Asia. To bring a container load to Australia costs about $2,000. How many bikes in a container? You do the maths. Do not be nice to Honda or the dealers. They are not giving Australians a fair deal.

Really disappointing!

I've got thousands of hours on postie bikes. If they were 1000 dollars they'd be over priced. I'm no handling snob. I grew up riding early 70's Japanese bikes. But these are just dangerous. The weight is all at the back, the whole front flexes visibly, hung out on the end of a single skinny pole. Braking hard just makes the front wheel hop up and down but you barely slow down. The suspension is awful. Beyond primitive. I can see why it's priced so high. You'd have to be looking for some other experience, not motorcycling. So comparing it to motorcycles for value is pointless. It's the ultimate expression of more money than sense.

The price is ridiculous I have a home in the Philippines and I can buy that bike for 1200 Canadian dollars if this bike actually sells for 7000 boycott this motorcycle"scooter" at all cost...... don't be stupid.

In the camp of "never gonna spend that money on a 125." CB125E...$2,500 ride away.

*5-mins. of 'Blahblah' whining over price for an all new 'Hunter' that is so far removed from the '90' '110' versions there's little comparison other than "It looks quite a bit like the old model"* ( *The 'Kawa' and others ARE NOT comparable to this new interpretation from Honda, so why fuckin' mention them?* ) *You completely missed the fact that this 'new version' has NO 'LOW-RANGE' GEAR-RATIO SELECTOR as the old models did* *That means no 'stump-pulling' & 'wall-climbing' for this new version* *There is also NO CLUTCH lever!* *Strictly 'centrifugal' as the old 'Cub 50' & '90' were* *it is also NOT MADE IN JAPAN, and that means no legendary 'Honda' quality-control from the World's authority on 'How-to build small motorcycles that last a lifetime'*
