I'm 67 living in Iowa. Born in 1954. My father Russ was friends with Harold Hughes, Governor of Iowa. Hughes went to Japan in 1966 on a Agricultural Exchange and Honda gave him a Trail 90. He gave it to me! Still riding. Will as long as I am able. Peace.

Bought a 1973 Trail 90 in 1990 for $200…yes, I still have it and yes, it still runs. 👍🏻

Had a 90 from early 70’s, used it for trapping with a big box on the back, used low range pulling slabs of wood, ran it down the road hitting about 50mph. It was by far the funnest machine and got me way back in the woods, camping trips, all of it. Great memories!!

“It’s not about what you’re riding, it’s about where you’re going, and I couldn’t find my gloves.” THAT’S the best line ever!

"You meet the nicest people on a Honda."

Put 500 down at my local dealer the DAY it was announced, got it back in December and put over a thousand miles on it in the first 14 days. Have been thrashing it since, almost done with the stock rear tire at 3600 miles. I love them though, they are *amazingly* sticky on the road and the bike is so nimble you can literally throw the bike to the ground in the corners and its like, whee I'm a gymkhana bike now. love it. love it.

Love these bikes! We camped practically every weekend year round and the campgrounds were full of these. Easy to attach or put in your camper when traveling. Big enough for mom to go into town to get groceries, had a milk crate on back, really held a lot. Enabled us to keep the camper attached to the car and ready to go in the morning. We all took turns riding around the campground, myself, little brother and little sister. The right size for really anyone and everyone. Brought back some great memories!

This is the first time I've even heard of this bike. I LOVE IT. Its not built for speed. It's built for practicality. As long as it can safely keep up with traffic, it's perfect.

You do an insane job with motorcycle journalism. Loved the history of the old trail bikes and how they came about. Great vid!

Learned to ride on a trail 90. My Dad would sit on the rack and let me drive because my feet couldn't reach the ground. The bike will always hold a special place in my heart. Dad later got a Yamaha 360 and gave the trail 90 to me. We put a home made straight exhaust pipe on the 90 (Dad's idea) and some number plates complete with numbers (my idea) and then we went dirt riding! 😀 Thanks for the trip down memory lane and I'm so glad you dig the bike. 🙂😎

Always thought these things were so cool. The CT110 was coined as the “Postie” bike in Australia because this is what the employees of Australia Post delivered mail on for decades. Every Aussie brought up in the last several decades I’m sure can imagine the sound of the Postie showing up out the front to drop the mail off. So iconic here in this country for its own locally specific reason!

we own a CT90 and even though it has sat in a shed for 21 years, last week we had to move it and it actually started with a fresh battery. This bike is hugely popular in Asia and a real workhorse. Ours has 4 gears w/o clutch. Cool bike

“Hey, want to see a bike you can’t have?” Haha, good stuff bro. That was a great little history lesson.

First real motorcycle I ever rode was a Honda trail 90 my uncle owned on his farm when I was like 10. One of those "never gonna forget" moments in my life.

I can just imagine the kind of video RyanF9 will make. "Go to the North Pole? Sure!"

I had the 50 in 1968, cool to see these things still around. The new 125 is the ideal evolution of this bike.

These things are great. Fell in love with them after watching C90adventures what an amazing journey.

Growing up out west, we had suburb neighborhoods that border wide open desert. Best playground ever. Dirt bikes, three wheelers were adventure vehicles and we could ride from our cul de sac out into the wild. These bikes would have been perfect for us. Hit the circle K then head out into the desert with your homies.

It's great to see them reissue this trail bike, though I wish it still had the low range. Low range made them into a workhorse. My first motorcycle in the late eighties was a trail 90 I got for $50. It was a lot of fun when it ran, but had an electrical problem that made it shut off all the time. I couldn't figure it out, so I sold it for $25. I also had a 110 three wheeler I got for $25 that had a bent valve when I got. The guy I got it from used a too long plug and the valve hit it. I replaced the valve with one from another 90 three wheeler, and it ran great. I went everywhere on that. Both it and the trail 90 would go almost anywhere with the low range. My dad used to drag deer out of the woods during buck season with his 90 back in the 70's.

My first bike was a 1969 Honda CL 360 Scrambler. Love these series of bikes and the Trail Series has served so many owners very aptly!

This young man is the perfect example of what you can do in your life with hard work and having the Love of God in him. Love your channel!

My first love was a Trail 70. Situations never worked out where I could own one but I haven't given up hope.

I had a Yellow Trail 90, it was so fun as a youngster 1973. Just ordered some Tank straps and Gloves. I now ride a 2008 V Star Silverado and a Gold Wing Trike. Thanks so much for all you bring to the bike community ……. Bless You and Your Family. Thanks Again.

I first threw my leg across a trail 90 in 1974 at 13 years of age. Now at 60 yrs young and re living my youth, I got one of the new ones in November of 2020, it was one of the first 2021's #14 off the assembly line. A Christmas gift from the wife. I can't explain how much I love it. As for me most of my riding is 0-45 MPH on back roads and trails just what its made for . I even found a new/used one for my wife. A fellow had bought one and it just wasn't what he was looking for, had only 75 miles on it.

Greatest line ever "I don't wanna be here!".

Best statement, "I love it. I'm going to keep it forever". I would too.

I have a '70 Trail 90, almost identical to yours. My dad had one in the 70s and ever since seeing photos of it I always wanted one. I did a partial restore on it - larger piston (the original cyl was heavily scored, but still ran fine), larger carb, heavier clutch springs and new pack, converted to all solid state electronics (what, only a rectifier and flasher) and LED lighting, dual AGM battery pack, adjustable rear shocks, stainless hardware throughout. The design is still great today and is good for many uses that other dirt/dual sport bikes just can't do. The handlebars fold parallel to the frame and I can lift the bike straight up onto a receiver hitch carrier with no help and no ramp. It will run for days of trail use on a single tank of crap quality gas or even 2 stroke mix. It's light enough that it can be easily pushed quietly on trails, and is smaller than most full size dirt bikes, so narrow trails are easy to ride on. In the Low gear selector state the bike can be throttled just off idle and walked next to on steep grades where riding might not be safe - the bike absolutely will creep like a 4x4 in low range as you said. It has also enough torque in L 1st gear that I've used it to pull a dressed buck several miles out of a forest service road, tying the antlers off of the cargo rack. The auto clutch makes that all possible and is probably the main reason I didn't just drop a Lifan 140 engine into it, since they use a standard clutch with no low range gear. That 125 is totally true to this design.. Even sounds the same, I love it. It will be my next bike, when I can find one. JUST WISH IT HAD THE LOW RANGE GEAR!!!! Bring it back Honda! With EFI that thing would almost be able to go vertical Just don't get one if you don't like talking about it... Everywhere you go on a Honda Trail someone is going to want to talk to you about it. Seems like every guy over 50 has a story about owning one back in the day.

born in 1958. Been on 2 wheels all my life. Sold my last HD, #4. Now looking at this AWSOME TRAIL BIKE. I fell in love with the trail 90 in 1968. Great video brother, thanks!

Here in Australia these are essentially called 'Postie Bike' Our postal service had and still use this! CT 110, loaded with 4 saddle bags, buzzing around the suburbs! The mail will go through! Especially now with the 125!

Considering myself fortunate for getting my hands on two of these babies (his & hers); VINs ending 199 & 811. Phenomenal and fun

We just picked up our Trail 125 about a month and a half ago. Ironically, we bought it from a small dealership in Idaho after being on a wait list for more than a year. We also put a low/small gearing on it for going up steep hills and trails. It's one of the most fun things imaginable and, as I write this in June 2022, we are heading out to the mountains today.

I have watched your channel seversl times but This video got my attention ! When I was 9 I bought a 1962 Honda Trail 55cc for $90 from one of my paper route customers. Mine had the chrome rack and came with a Huge rear sprocket that you bolted to the existing sprocket and that thing would climb a wall ! I have owned probably 100 bikes but I get a smile when I see one of those trail bikes. I spent all day every summer riding my 55 - I gave my dad a ride once on a levee and we did 55 mph on the dirt ! I "rebuilt" the engine when I was 10 by myself - completely taking it apart and put it back together though after it did go faster in 2nd than 3rd because I had the shift drum in wrong but hey, I did it as a kid ! My younger son and I have several of the china clone pit bikes and several extra engines - just a joy working on stuff like when I was a kid - speaking of that , last Fathers day my son boght me a real cool $1000 mini bike , I enjoy riding that thing around more that anything ! Lastly, I appreciate you sharing the Gospel with a Bible verse in every video , I know Jesus ( His Real name is Yahshua) rides and if he visited a church in person now days would be shunned by the the congregation . Keep up the Great work ! Charles in Wyoming.

I’ve been waiting for you to find this bike! Great video!!! I can’t wait to find one for myself!!!

I toured South West Australia on an old post bike similier to this with 110cc motor which cost me $300 in the early 90s. Touring speed 45mph ish. These are such useful honest utility bikes, good to see them back.

Had a trail 70 as a kid, would love to get one of those 125's, thanks for sharing. God bless.

The old Honda trail 90s and 110s definitely had a great reputation being well built reliable and fun to ride. they overtook Ralph Bonham's Tote gote in Utah . These new hondas look phenomenal capturing the simple functional beauty with a modern touch or two

Got a 2021Trail just two weeks ago! Love it!

So, wanted one after your last vid, now gotta have one once you went off road with it. Love you man, keep it up.

Man this brought back some memories of going hunting with my Dad back in the 70's, we used 2 of the Honda's you mentioned and would put a moose quarter tied down to the top of the bike and bring it out of the bush. We rode on top of the moose quarters! Those were fun days! Man, what we put those bikes through and they still ran like a top!

First bike I ever rode 40 years ago, drove it off a cliff and into a canal. Took three of us kids to get it out of the canal and up the bank .. Fired right up. Funnest bike ever 🤟

learned on a farmer's trail 90 when i was 10, & it's been all downhill ever since. :-)

I’ve had my Honda Cub for a over year in Japan (one of the first delivered). It is the king of forest roads and a head turner. My last bike was a CB360T and it is amazing. The best part of my day is my daily ride. Short of your dog, nothing better. Such a nice ride. Quite safe.

As a kid in the 70's in Florida we used to ride Honda 50s and 70s in the orange groves. Burnt my calf bad during a lay down. Might get one of these when I sell my 1500 Vulcan cruiser. Nothing more fun than a small motorcycle.

My dad bought a Trail 90 in 1972 and that thing would go anywhere. I took it through mountain streams and up very steep mountain trails and it never failed. It was absolutely bullet proof.

I had the 110 version when I was in the army a half century ago. And I use to ride that thing on cattle trails and tank trails on Fort Hood TX. I loved that bike. It never let me down and took me everywhere. I later traded it for a Yamaha 250 street trail and that bike was stolen out of the parking lot the next day. Should have kept the Honda.

Hey Sean, love your channel and love the good vibes. You got me into bikes, I've been looking for cheap one to work on and eventually ride. Thanks for the new addiction lmao.

I really enjoyed the video brother. My friend let me ride his Trail 70, I think, back in 69 in WV. I started up a dirt mountain road that was pretty steep. An old gas well road. It got to the point where it stopped pulling. Then I remembered the switch. After I switched it over I gave it the gas and nearly did a wheelie. I was amazed at the pulling power it had. I loved that bike. God Bless.

I'll never forget showing up for my second year of Summer Camp, around 1972. 10 years old. I hated Horseback riding the first year of camp. After breakfast, on the first day, we headed to the recreation fields. There were about 12 brand new Trail 70s and about 24 Mini Trail 50s, in a neat line, that the local Honda dealer had given to the YMCA. Never rode a horse at camp again. Probably, the most fun I've ever had.

Msrp should have been around 2500. This thing for 4 grand ain't cheap

I drove from about two hours north of Pittsburgh to south Virginia on about 12 hours notice to pick one of these off of Facebook marketplace! Almost 1000 miles round trip. Worth every second/mile of it!

Just got my 81 CT-110 back from the shop, carb rebuild, tires, new fuel lines, shock boots. Runs like a top. 1st kick every time. Having a blast. They had two new ones on the floor, barely made it out. I'm thinking I NEEEEEED ONE!

I am reminded of my 1967 Honda Trail 90. It was such a fun little bike. My son talked me out of it but, that is okay it is still in the family.

I put money down on mine last September over @AMS in York when the model year dropped and finally got it back in May. 700+mi already on truly the best and most fun motorcycle I've ever owned. It will put a smile on anyone who rides it... Thanks for the vid!

Yup... This made my Thursday better. It's like a Bikes and Beards Friday, but on Thursday... 👍

I got the only one in my 19,000 population Illinois town. I heard these were coming out in 2021 in Spring of 2020. I went to the dealer, told him I would pay full retail and give him an extra $100 personally. It worked. And I absolutely love this bike! I have not seen another one anywhere.

I had a Honda 55cc trail think it was like a 1965, it didn’t have hi and low switch, trail gear was extra links you added so you could put the chain on the 72 tooth rear gear (about the size of dinner plate) top speed was reduced to about 22 mph. I paid 85 bucks for it. It was the most fun Bike I ever had. I curse myself for ever selling it. You were not fast but damn that little guy could go anywhere. We used pull kids on toboggans in a foot of snow. It weighed nothing, worked just fine with no battery. Never gave me a bit of trouble. I miss that little guy. Thanks for reminding me of my first bike.

Taking it off road! Thank you for doing that bike justice!!

Best review of the Trail 125 Iv seen. For starters, the others never mention the high air intake.

I’m convinced you bought this from the dealership in my town that had one since you said 2.5 hours away… I really hope they get more of these in the future!

Great video I still have my trail 70 I sure would love to have one of them reminds me of the good old days great video I enjoyed it very much keep the great work up that reminds me of my old z 50 which I have like the trail 70 3 speed automatic that's what I grew up with many years have past just wanted to thank you for the awesome video you made you and your family have great holidays coming up and take care of your self Mike Holden out of north Carolina said that thanks again you all are the greatest people that make awesome videos looking forward to more of your videos happy holidays

Man…. That reminds me of the Honda MB5. Loved that bike. 👍🏼🔥

I definitely need one of these, I bought a CB500X from you guys several years ago and love it, but I need one of these for tooling around on my farm and teach my wife to ride.

Your reviews are great, thorough and well presented. Thanks

Best Honda commercial ever! 😊you guys have the most fun! Enjoy!!! Blessings!!

As a kid I wanted a MC.. my mother said NO motorcycles, period! or leather jackets .. I finally got a near new Suzuki 80 2 stroke for 180 bucks. She thought it was too cute to be dangerous.. I had a great time exploring backroads and trails. Weighing in at 155 lbs it could do 55mph.. or drafting semis downhill at 65. 😁

I need one. My life ain't complete without it!

That was a heck of a trail off the freeway, only a trail bike could handle that! I like trail bikes as I have two Honda CT-70 Trail bikes but with upgraded Lifan 125cc engines.💫 Thanks for the review video!

as kids we had a C90 it went everywhere with a few of us on it, crossed streams, up hills, sounded like it was running underwater as the baffles were removed, thing is it never ever broke down and we never ever maintained it, no oil changes, no air filter as the box was removed, the most unbreakable engine ever made, and it was quickish, fast enough when there are 3 of you on it traveling along railway lines.

The Honda CT110 has been used for decades in Australia by Australia Post to deliver the mail. There is still an annual Enduro event (once Covid buggers off again) where a pile of people get together and ride these things on the back roads and dirt roads for 3 to 5 thousand Km's (1500 to 2500 miles) across Australia. These things are loved all over the world.

Imagine driving down the highway and all of a sudden a bearded man comes ripping out of the woods on a Trail 125 and enters the highway behind you..

Back in the 90s I had a Honda Trail 90. So, many memories and I took that thing anywhere and everywhere

I started out with a step-thru Honda C50 when I was 13 or 14, and that was my official trail bike until I traded a guy for an engine off of a wrecked Trail 90 with all the wiring, coil, lights, etc. I fitted it to a modified Sears mini-bike frame and with the gearing I had, I could pull close to 65 mph. out of it in high range.😱 It was a death trap and I loved it! In low range, it would climb a wall if you could stay on it.🤣 I probably put 1000 miles on it on the trails east of Harrisburg, before I accidentally punched a hole in the bottom of the case on a stray piece of metal, and it lost all the oil and seized up.😢 It sure was fun while it lasted! From there, I moved up to an XL 125 which eventually got passed down to my little brother, and I got my first street bike, a 1974 CB350F four cylinder!😍 The Honda singles were hard to beat if you kept oil in them!😁

I can feel the amount of work you put into this video. Well done.

Very hard bike to find. Took me about 4 months and I FINALLY got one about 3 weeks ago lol. Just have to literally call every dealership. Awesome collectors item to have! Good luck to everyone else that are still trying to find one.

Brings back memories of my friend and I trail riding on his Honda 50 in the early 70's. Great little bikes. A cousin had a Honda 305. What a tough tank of a bike.

My first bike was the Trail 70 and my Dad had the 90 which I graduated to quickly. But lets get to the first thing that comes to mind when I see those old 70's memories, All I think about is when riding trails having fun and hit a rut and my junk jamming into that bar/yoke whatever it is. Uugh! yeah good times.

As an Aussie Postie. These bike are awesome. So nice to boost to 125 from 110.

That looks like a fun little ride for sure…

These bikes were used by Australia post for decades. They delivered mail to nearly every suburban adress in the country for decades.

Those bikes are great. Dad and I each had one, trail rode hundreds of miles on them back in the late 60's.

Thank you for the scripture bro! It was a very pleasant surprise :D

i have a mint condition 1973 I bought in 2010 for 300 dollars. Title, plated, has the buddy seat, aux tank, and a factory cargo bag. Had less than 500 miles on it when I bought it. I'll never sell that bike, it can never be replaced. Bought from the original owners grandson.

Yes the racktop seat was factory. I learned to ride on my neighbor's in 1968. I bought a CT 125 in 1977. It was originally made for sheepherding in Australia and had the engine from the trials 125. It had a conventional frame also.

Learned how to ride on one of these! My absolute favorite!

nice love the words of wisdom bit

That brings back memories. We had a Honda Trail 90 back in the early 70's. I was 14 then, I'm 63 now. I rode the tires off that thing many times over. Then I got a CL350, then a Suzuki 550 triple two stroke then a Suzuki GS1000 and on and on. Trail 90, the gateway drug to motorcycle addiction. :) Does it have the Hi - Lo selector lever for high and lo range??

I had a Yellow Trail 90 back in the 60's. Have always wanted another one so I am waiting.

Just bought my ct125 today. It was on the showroom floor at NAwarhorse here in PA. It is such a great little bike.

I think your videos are very well done. I love your sense of humor and the fact that you acknowledge a greater spirit before you ride. Strong work, please continue!

I bought one in high school in 1968, and it was a couple of years old at the time. Before the telescoping forks. And to put it in "climbing gear," you had to open the chain, attach a second sprocked to the smaller street sprocket, and a few links to the chain and lock it back up. In all the time I owned it (not quite a year), I only put gas in it one time.

Good to see you having fun !

Awesome review dude. Loved your story of how you found one.

He said the 1970 trail 90 had a 3 speed transmission that is incorrect. It had a 4 speed transmission with a high/low range (8 speeds total) saying the new one is most likely more capable off road is laughable, it has no low range and no knobby tires. The low range is what made the older bike so versatile.

I'd love to buy one just for the fun of it. Maybe in a few years when they aren't so hard to find!

The trail cub is awesome! I've seen people touring the world, literally, on it. There's a guy on YT who first went to Australia tu Europe and then, from South America to Alaska! Man!

I love watching you do these videos on the mini's,most by Honda (love Honda) can you do more videos on other makes and models I can't get enough takes me way back in the day,love it,and not everybody will admit it,but us real men will,mini's are some of the best fun a man can have .

I got one of these in May. Got super lucky. Found a dealer an hour away who had one in stock. Put the deposit down on a Tuesday and had it in my possession by Friday. It's an awesome bike! I've been riding it to work and everyone loves it

Nope! Not this time, that was very much a case of what your riding 🤣 what an amazing little machine and great test ride. Truly a bike that needs no destination.

Best test ride ever. It’s so cool that they are making these again. My wife would never go for it, but damn, I’d like to own one.

These are sweet little bikes. There's even a guy doing the Trans American Trail on one right now. I even heard that Honda is going to produce a 150 version in 2022.
