Yes Sir looks like a bunch of fun and don't forget "you meet the nicest people on a Honda" do you recall there Advertising slogan..

Thx. I had a Trail 90 at Kunsan AB, S Korea when stationed there in 1970. Bought a yellow one for $217 USD in Japan on the strip outside Yokota AB, broken down by dealer into 6 crates to fit into the door of the centerline aux pod of the F-4D to get it back to Kunsan. Spent 2 wks putting it back together in my modulux BOQ. A few parts left over, one of which was the pinion for the speedo. Put it in, got some low octane mogas from the motor pool and rode the rice patty trails for 8 mos. Never figured out what the other parts were for. A blast. Sold it to the base dentist just before DEROS who promptly crashed it. Bought another same in States for ~$450 I recall, put ~5,500 mi on it before moving up to a CM200T. Used to attach a "BobbyMac" to the luggage rack to tote around my infant kids, great pacifier! Great memories. Now that I'm old, maybe get another one to replace my HD XLX Sportster and relive the good-old-days.

that quiet muffler will not piss off neighbors or hikers! When the Honda Civic hit our shores, I called up a dealer, +before+ he was a dealer (I had a friend with Honda contacts), and wangled an order for the first Civic in our area, an orange one with the trunk, not a hatchback...man, we had fun with that little car, put 1200 miles on it the first weekend.. I also had a Honda C100 Cub, a Sport 90, C110, and on and on ;-) Have a nice Christmas, Juan!

My Dad had a trail 90 when I was a kid. I believe that began my fascination with motorcycles.

The CT110 is still iconic here in Australia. Posties still use them quite extensively. There are also charity races across the outback where retired postie bikes are used.

110cc posty bikes are highly sort after here in Aust. Some have over 160,000 miles on them, and still going strong. Probably the best motor ever made.

Grew up on the Honda Trail 90 in yellow. Drove the wheels off that thing

Wow...Those were the days...Don’t forget the little Trail Z50! Seems like we all knew someone that had a Honda Trail back in the 70’s!

Nice. You can see it's C50 antecedents. The original step throughs trailing link suspension won't be missed. We had a C90 on the farm here. It had everything stripped off and got left outside all winter and would still start first time on the gas in the tank. It frequently ran on no oil until it ceased up, and would restart when it cooled down. Amazing machines. Thanks Juan.

Sweet! I had a 1974 version of that (CT-70). Loved it. Was my transportation, delivered papers with it too. Many a great day on trails with it.

From the NTSB report: "PIC ventured into IMC around the hangars and did not maintain separation from persons and the Airport kitty cat. Although a CVR was not required equipment, numerous whoops and yells heard by witnesses indicate the PIC was preoccupied by laughter and failed to initiate the brakes. Several impact holes through hangar doors resembled a human male on a motorcycle. Crash debris included a long laundry line with clothes picked up after loss of control through neighboring backyards and one dog house. Cylinder head inspection showed signs of liquor ingestion after impacting the airport manager's file cabinet."

My first dirt bike was a Trail 90 with a cheater sprocket. My dad worked for Flying Tigers at Tachikawa AFB and I brought 3 Trail Hondas deadhead in a CL44 back when I was 15 years old. I'm 71 now. Fun bike for comfort. That slippy clutch will get u about anywhere. All u need is some knobby's and your cooking with Crisco

JB is #1 again! This brought back memories of my Trail 90. Cost $366 out the door. My dad lost a bet about the neighbor's escaped parrot coming back and true to his word he drove me down to the Honda shop and bought me a red one. That was 1966 and I was 12 years old. I could unbolt that rear sprocket and move it over, add the length of chain for the low gear in minutes in near darkness. I still have a Trail 110 with the low speed gear box in my stuff.

My parents had a take-apart Honda 90 that they would put in their 310. They used it all over the western US. Later, I used it to take me to my after-school jobs. We loved it!

"I'm going to get a milk crate from behind the Lucky Store." I'm laughing because I still think of it as the Lucky Store, although the name changed years ago! Nice bike, Juan!

One of my dubious lifetime achievements - Ramp jumping Honda 50's since 1968

I like it! “You meet the nicest people on a Honda!” In 1966, my first bike was a CB160... very soon thereafter, got a dual purpose bike and had the time of my life! Still riding today and plan to for many years. It’s in my blood! Thanks for this great review! Glad you managed to get it. I like that kick starter too, for that one time in the woods when you need it! Luggage rack looks perfect for a Roto-Pak. Ride safe Juan and get Pete on there ASAP! Merry Christmas 🎄

Reminds me of the Honda 50 trail bike I had back in the late sixties. High/love was accomplished by moving the chain from the small sprocket to the large sprocket on the rear wheel. No electric start, fuel gauge or turn signals. Had a lot of fun putting around Lincoln NE on that bike. Thanks for sharing.

I had both a 1967 ('ol red) and a 1973 ('ol yeller) CT90 back in Southern California. The "High-Low" range (a euphemism even in the 1960's) amounted to an extra length of chain with another master link and larger rear sprocket held over the stock sprocket with four bolts: switching out the sprocket required dismounting the rear wheel from the bike. The Four speed transmission hasn't changed since they started making them: not great shifting, not bad shifting, impossible to destroy. We swapped XR125-160(?) top ends onto the stock CT90 engine to wake them up a bit with a total of 155cc displacement, IIRC (it's been nearly 40 years). Those engines were easy to work on (once you threw the oversize Phillips case screws into the sea and replaced them with socket head bolts).

I have always loved the Trail 90, but never had one. Nice to think that I can now, with a little extra 'get up and go'! Thank you, Juan.

Great memories riding Grandpa's Trail 90 on the Nevada county dirt roads starting at age 14 four decades ago.

Juan gets the scoop on all the best newsworthy content! I was the mechanic and trainer for Youth For Christ / Youth Guidance program where we worked with delinquent kids. We used 30 CT 110’s we got through North American Honda and their National Youth Project Using Minibikes NYPUM. I love the dirt bike content!

Had a Honda Trail 70 when I was a young teen. That bike was great. Then my buddy bought a Trail 90 nearly identical to the one you're showing. For years, we literally road thousands of miles through the back trails and mountains of north Georgia. We put those bikes through heck and back and they never once let us down. Nice Trail 125 , looks perfect for where you live.

Nice addition to the moto fleet! Merry Christmas and all the best for 2021! 🎄🎅

I love it here in the Philippines my wife and I ride a Honda TMX 125 alpha. It gets us everywhere we need to go. I am 6'2" 210#'s. It carries 300 pounds and doesn't look back. Very pleased with its performance.

I know your love of the mountains. Another KZfaqr named Leroy Johnson loves the mountains too. He does all sorts of amazing mule rides. His mules r full time 4 leg drive. But the preparation and packing remind me of your trips that u made last year. Battery powered chain saw and all. Your views of Fuji were amazing!! Thanks for such a great channel!!

Great memories. I had the 90. Later graduated to the SL 175 baby, twin carbs! I was in heaven. Thanks for sharing your toy with us.

My dad bought the family, a Honda Trail 50 and Trail 70 back in the early 70's they were a blast to ride. When my dad showed us how to ride, he over-revved it poped it and did a wheelie, and left him in the dirt.

Had a Mini-trail 50 in the 60s , we absolutely destroyed it! It was held together with miss-matched bolts , wire and duct tape it went everywhere . If you got stuck , you just picked it up and moved it! I'll bet anything that the engine is still running something somewhere! Thanks , maybe get one for the farm!

I had a Trail 90 at one time. I liked the high/low feature. 15 or 20 years ago, I was looking at a cycle trader and a logger from St. Maries, Idaho had a Trail 110 for sale IN THE CRATE. As I remember, it didn't sell, he wanted too much for it. I also had a Honda CT-110 (Honda 50 street version) that we put 72 tooth trail sprockets over the existing rear sprocket that were held in place by 4 bolts.(Ya had to have a spacer for the shock on the port side so the sprocket would clear the shock) They also made a 82 tooth sprocket but it made the bike to slow. It would only go about 20mph topped out. Juan, you, Jeni, Julianne and Pete have a Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year. Ya made my day with this video. It brought back many great memories.

I still miss my bright orange Trail 90. Since they eliminated the two-range trans, you'd think they could have added one more gear.

Great video and I'm super happy for you. A lot of older RVers are going to be hanging these things off the back of their trailers and their class As and Class Cs. With help from my big brother, this is what I learned to ride on, back in 1963 , so I have a fond spot in my heart for this little bike. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

my first motor cycle was a trail 90 bought 2 more for parts that same year i bought a Honda three wheeler with same engine...i am happy that you got the new one i look forward to seeing this bike on some of your adventures....Thanks Juan from Eureka calif and Joe Silva

This is so freakin cool. As soon as you fired that thing up it brought me back to being 13-year-old when I got my first motorcycle, a ct90 that had been sitting in the woods for 15 years. My dad said as soon as I could make it run I could ride it, which is all the motivation a young teen needs. It took me a full year of working on the weekends getting all the rest out of the tank coating the tank dipping the carb learning the ins and outs of small engine and motorcycle maintenance, and it was a total blast. I'm so thrilled they're releasing this model again.

This is Gold! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! All the best for you and your beloved ones. Cheers!

Looks great, good luck with it. My buddy's brother had a Honda 50 that we use to 'appreciate ' and for God only knows why, we would drive to Boston and back freezing our buts off in the dead of winter. Enjoy!

You made my night! I saw a thumbnail of my favourite aviator with a bike I've been pining over together in one vid and I thought I was seeing a mirage! I'm so happy for you Mr B, I'm enjoying watching you enjoy this beautiful machine. Ride in the best of health for many years dear sir.

Grew up in northern Canada getting to ride an XL70 in burnt orange and black. Still remember the showroom with the XL70, Trail 70 and XR75. Price for the XL70 was $750.00 Canadian dollars in the 70's. Had a blast one summer when an American kid turned up on a trail with an XR75!

I have three CT90s: '72 and two '78s. All have the reserve tank and are 100% original. My wife, at 60 years old grew up without motorcycles and was afraid of them. I showed her how easy the 90 was to ride and how she could not hurt it and she was hooked. We now take the back l roads to breakfast (well, until C19) and seak out long scenic, slow roads. She is yet to take it on a trail yet, but she says she is open to it. I am going to wait on the new one until they come out with dual range. The 110 (followed the CT90) and came out with the same logic (no dual range). The market demanded it and after just one year, HONDA put the dual-range on the 110. So I am holding my breath. Congratulations on your epic new bike!!!

Hey man 1965 , Honda 50 it’s all , right , good memories. Have fun My parents didn’t want me on any motor cycle etc. so my friends n I rented a bunch of them in north of nyc. And had a blast

The heritage of these clearly belongs to the C70,s and 90,s of the 1970,s and 80,s. The step through frame so practical and easy to get on. Rugged buggars that took abuse without faulting.Great fun.

Cool! I had a 70 trail bike. I could change the sprocket for road or trail. Took it to Big Lake Arizona, my buddy had a mini bike. Our dads were fishing and we were riding through the campground and I decided to go through a water filled pot hole on the gravel road. They don’t straddle mud holes very good. I was scraped up pretty good and had to lay around camp til we came home. That was about 72-73. Was old enough to know better, young enough to not use my brain. I’m glad you were able to get one. It’ll always be a classic.

What a nice bike, my dad and I went all over Southern California with our trail 50s, we love them. Juan, enjoy that bike in a merry Christmas

I remember my dad buying a Honda 90 in the late 60s that had an easy lever release into 3 pieces, so he could easily stuff it into his Cardinal RG, and later into his T-34. It sounded just like this, and was red. He would carry it to air shows, etc. It began a trail bike mecca in our household. My first was a green Honda Trail 125. Amazing fun. Thanks Juan!

My gold CT70 took me everywhere! An old school adventure bike. A few years later it lead to my Kawasaki F7 175 and ultimately to my Bultaco 250 Alpina I ride to this day. Thanks for the memories.

I remember my trail 90. I got it in two boxes and a rolling chassis. Rebuilt it over the winter, had fun for the following summer, and sold it to a friend, in the fall.

Hi from uk back in late eighties brothers friends had two imported from Australia (they never were sold here) it still had red soil in crevice. s they say if you live long enough this just go around and around😉😉best wishes for 2021 Juan and family we all need it 👍👍👍

Awesome review, I love the bike. Great to see another guy who loves his 125 cc, I’ve been riding a CBR 125 for many years now and love the light weight, economy and smiles per gallon.

Last Honda bike I rode was a Scrambler 305 back in 1969. I’m 71 years old now, and I’ve been looking at the 125 Trail (red) since they were announced. I need a bit of excitement in my life, since I grounded myself in 2005, and sold my Quicksilver MX. What could go wrong! (smile face). N.E.OH Bob

Thx for the great informative and entertaining video Juan, I can see your kids and Mrs. getting use from this Honda heir loom probably be in Browne family for decades to come. FWIW I started my 55 yr love afair with M/Cs on a friends Trail (not mini) 50 in mid. Like you Juan most of it off road including AMA DS Mex2Can in '01 and about 12 LB2Vs. Have a '81 XR200R that my daughters and G'kids have had tons of hours of use on just can't seem to find the heart to put it down as a bit of Sochiro Honda's soul still is in it. It's like a well worn boot looks might be deceiving but it fits like a glove and reminds me of some of my 1st trail riding experiences . Happy Holidays to the Browne's Stay Healthy, keep the sky above and rubber side down.

Bought a Trail 90 new in the spring of 1969. Sold it one year later. I had 3 older guys with campers in the back of their pickups fighting over it. I knew then I should have kept it, but sold it anyway.

Man oh man. I have the same memories of the old CT. I gotta get one . Those things are going to sell like hot cakes . Take me back to 1978.

number one on the list, because Juan will put it on KZfaq and promote the heck out of it, Nice ride Juan, enjoy yourselves out on the trails.

So cool, congrats on getting one! My mom made my dad part with his yellow trail 90 and 170 street bike before my 16th birthday & getting my driver's license. Would love one of these in Red to cruise our Oregon Forests!

I remember my first one way back in the 60's. I got a second one for my mom, so she could have some fun too.. I liked having the low gear to just putt around the hills. I could go places others couldn't.. Even at the dirt hills, where the big boys went up the big hills, well almost all the way up the big hills. But I could just putt putt up to the top right passed them, and sit and smile at them with there big 350's digging holes in the hill, and me sitting at the top!

Had a Trail 90 as kid. Lots of great times on the thing, may have to get one of these.

Congratulations! The little hondas are a blast to ride. I still have and ride my 1971 Trail 70 that I got as a kid!

Just picked up my 125 Yesterday. Omaha Nebraska . It is even better than I thought .This will get me to my fishing holes in Wyoming this Summer...... Have fun great video!

The Honda C90 was the first real motorcycle I ever road in 1965 when I was 13 years old! Since then I've logged about 1.5M miles on Honda's and BMW's all over the US and Canada! I think I need one just to have that feeling again!! LOL 8) --gary

Nice video to summarize all the points of the new CT125! Amazing video please keep making them!!

Brings back memories of our old 1964 yamaha trailmaster 80cc 2 stroke. Plenty of power for some cheap fun.

Dad bought me a mini trail 50 in 1968 ($230) I still have it my kids & grandchildren have learned to ride on it !!!

My son and myself both have older Trail 90s and Trail 125 with a dual range gearing old school definitely my speed been wondering for many years when Honda would come back out with an upgraded version although I still love them we still love our 1970s Honda trails blessings and have a wonderful Christmas

I rode my friend's trail 90 a lot around 1969-70. We were 14-15 and had fun jumping that thing with both of us on it at once. This new one looks amazing.

I'm getting the first one at my local dealer...can't wait till it comes in...super stoked! Thanks for the video

Very cool, worth every penny. Merry Christmas to you Juan and your family.

The front and rear hubs aren't so much an homage to drum brakes as they are to center-pull spokes. A much stronger hub/spoke assembly. Well done, Honda.

Nice bike Juan, i started riding in 1968 on a mini trail 50. Lived next door to a gravel pit, fun times back then

I learned to ride on a Trail 70 and had a Minitrail 50 - Loved that thing!

I Had the Greatest Fun on a Honda Mini Trail as a Kid. I Enjoyed Your Enthusiasm. Best Wishes! M.H.

Someone got their Christmas 🎄 present early. 🎅🏻

Congrats on what may be the only new Trail 125 in CA? Cool bike. Nice change of pace in video without NTSB reports and FAA findings and such. Merry Christmas and Healthy New Year to all.

Here in Alabama no one rides that style of trail bike but I remember going to visit my grandparents in Northern California in the mountains outside of Redding and riding Trail 90's with my cousins. Fun times!

Nice score !....we had a yellow '55 Trail in the 60's and it came with an over sized rear sprocket and extra length of chain for off-road stuff and in the early '70's I had the red 90 with the high /low range selector, wish I still had it, fun stuff

Juan Merry Christmas, for a moment I thought you were doing a guess host appearance with bikes and beards LoL. That's a pretty mini bike.🎄

Congrats on the new ride

Being 60 years old I realize now I can buy the mini bikes and other recreational equipment that I saw when I was younger and now it's made modern and perfect 👀 I remember my blue sl70, ❤️ You have excellent taste in machinery 👍

wait until Pete gets ahold of it pops!!

That Honda reminds me of my older brothers Honda 90 from back in the 1960's.

$600 Stimulus check might get me the front end...........but looks like a nice haul along bike for camping trips and also runs to the store if gas gets tight again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!!

Very Nice Juan. I've got an old 79 Honda ATC70, and an 04 TRX 250. Love them!!!

Wow! A blast from the past. I have my dads old trail 90 "Suitcase" bike with the original cargo tray it goes into. He bought it because it fit in the back of his 1951 or 52' V-tail N5879C?. Its a gem with only 328 miles. He used to put around the Reno Air Races back in the early 70's.

My father fought in WW2 and was part of the u.s. occupation force. I have made in Japan chinaware that is stamped "Occupied Japan " that my father brought back in the early 60s for my mother. Its beautiful handcrafted ceramics. I was racing dirt bikes in the 70s- Ossa, Bultaco, Montessa. I'll never forget what my father told me " The Japanese are the best copiers in the world. They'll take something and spend years perfecting it" As a 16 y.o. it didn't sink in....until the Honda Elsinore was introduced to the states. Within 3 years one didnt see a Spanish bike on the circuit.

Congratulations. Very swift. Had a Honda 125 street bike until last year. Good iron.

Best review I've seen of this bike. Great job

I had the good fortune to pick up a 1968 CT90 for $175 about a month ago, complete, but of course non running and no title, but those issues can be solved. Reminds me of my first bike, a 1967 Honda 50cc bike with a 4 speed transmission that I bought used in 68 for $100. For long distance touring or adventure travel, hard to beat BMW, but for smiles, hard to beat small Honda’s

Looks like a fun small short trip trail explorer. Can’t wait to see the new tires... thanks for sharing the fun.

My father had a Trail 90 when I was a kid. Man that brings back some good old memories!

Awesome bike, my buddy had the CT 90 in the 70's I had an SL 70. He used to find the deepest puddles he could and ride through them with that snorkel, worked great. He only swamped it once, through a big puddle at a construction site. I never laughed so hard watching him push it out, he used to stand on the seat, I refused to get wet. We drained the water from the box and it kicked right over. Fun stuff. We're a little (lot) more gravity challenged (weight) so 8 horsepower, (6.5 for the 70) probably won't take us up those hills like when we were younger.

I've already been badly missing being on my bike (living in Minnesota doesn't do well with year-round riding). This is making miss riding even more. Thanks for showing off your new toy, Juan! Happy riding!

Good one Juan I had a CT90 years ago, & I recon they were the best farm bike ever built , in Low,Low they'd climb a tree, ya could throw a paddy across ya knees & take it home kicking with that centrifugal clutch. Love ya channel mate keep up the good work.

Juan, the bike i should never sold was a 1982 honda mb5. It was a 50 cc 2 stroke oil injected, 5speed trans , clutch. U I used to drive it daily 40 miles. It would get about 90 to 95mpg. And top out at about 57 mph on flat level ground without a head wind. Thanks for all you do in your videos.

Thank you very much for the update. That is the best small bike in the world and the most sold. I was raised with small Honda bikes in Europe now ar 57 I will buy one next year when there is more available to ad to my collection.

Great video. Wish you a lot of fun with your new bike. These are the best. They last forever. Cheers

march 4 1967 i was 15 yrs old and bought a Honda 50, after a good down installment my payments we 17.00 per month. was then able to go to part time work as a local gas station.

Thanks for a straight forward, no nonsense review.....and mentioning our "Postie CT110's here in Australia..Cheers

My brother just bought a 1969 Honda 70 to restore. Congratulations on the new bike 🏍

Glad you received your present before Christmas hopefully a camera stabilizer will come on Christmas morning

I absolutely love this bike, and will be bugging my local dealer for one asap! Congratulations, Juan!

Very refreshing to watch one of your videos and it is not about an air plane crash. ;)
