    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.

    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!

    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!

    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. 🙂😎

    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.

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.

    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.

    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 .

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.
