- I bought a Honda CT125 from Japan and paid $6500 for it just to get it in Europe. I know it's way to expensive . In this video I will be talking about the Honda CT125's history and show you some of the fun features it has. I will also show you all the Japanese paperwork that comes with the motorcycle. Have fun watching me ride the Australian postie bike.
Thank you for watching!

What should I do with my Honda CT125 next? 😄
Fill it up n see how many actual total km it can cover in a full tank
You said it can drive underwater. Go for it.(Should be funny to see & likely to go viral).
You need to see what you can carry on that rack ….statue of liberty 2 up adventure ?
For €30 & 45mins make it’s wheels pluggable tubeless
Set it on fire or blow it up!!!
That history was fantastic, and then you covered so much that is practical for people actually considering a bike. Other reviewers just give you platitudes or a sales sheet.
Thanks m8! Appreciate that 😎👌❤️
Always have a smile when your videos come out! Another Original Smokey and can’t wait to see the build
I appreciate that! thanks bud!
I have a 1986 Honda C90....
Back to neutral from 4th gear is Japanese genius. When you come to a stop in traffic straight back to neutral without kicking all the way down
great review
Getting mine next year, I was thinking about getting an other Grom but this bike has all the goodies that I was going to add to the Grom; center stand, rear rack, all around LED lights dual sport tires (well 90/10 really 🤣).
The CT125 just showed up in Canada this year so it's going to be hard to buy one in 2023.
I imported mine to the UK from Thailand. Worth every penny. Touring Spain and France on it this summer. Yee har.
Easy to get it registered in the UK?
Tom can u reply to me please ..
Tom can u get back to me Mate..
We're finally getting it in GREEN in the US!! I'm so excited! I desperately wanted one when they first debuted but bright Honda red just isn't my color. Positively loving this series of videos and the modifications you've made.
That's awesome! I think there is even a gen2 version coming to the US right? Not sure what changed for 2023 😁
Smashed that like button 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, only color here until 2023 model year is red. Got on a waiting list in 2021 and got mine last month in Batesville Arkansas..Nice bike and a great video.
Awesome smokey
I got mine from from my local arizona honda dealership a few months back and they only offered it in red. I'm kinda jealous of yours, that color looks soo nice compared to my red one.
I do think Honda and red are like bacon and eggs 🙂
@@LifeofSmokey Cheese & crackers. Bread & butter. Pen & paper. Taxes & tears. Honda & red are like all of those.
In some markets I think Honda has sold them in a beige sandy colour too.
@@rossmacintosh5652 fat chicks and america
Sounds like the 2023s will be available in organic green
LOL. Nice one. Just an FYI: I'm Japan-based (can't read Japanese either), but at 5:15, the yellow sticker on the bottom right is proof of insurance which is normally stuck on the license plate. The "5" refers to the 5th year of reign of the current Japanese emperor rule ("reiwa") and 12 is December.
Damn thank you! Did not know that. Love this information :-)
Do bikes in Japan come with insurance from the manufacturer?
@@rossmacintosh5652 The dealership can do everything (license registration and insurance) for you (at a cost) or DIY from automated machines available nationwide at the convenience stores like 7-11. I kid you not. Registration can be done at the local city hall.
Learnt to ride on a CT90Trail in the ‘70s which all seemed to be red in oz🤓
We use the ct10 to deliver the mail here in Australia ......Yeah the good old Postie bike
Was my outfit kind of correct? I did some research but some had yellow helmets and some had white 😅
@@LifeofSmokey it was close enough. Posites are now slowly changing over to these little electric trikes with a roof.
Actually the Honda NBC110 Postie Bike..
The Australian postie bike has both left and right side stands.
@@gary1477 huh? it has a centre stand.
Keep it up pls. My side not yet launch too
Cant get them in the U K , so well just have to keep watching your videos Brother 😅
whole Europe is waiting for this super baby !!!
What should I do with my Honda CT125 next? 😄...don't tell anyone about it 🤫
Jamani! Leo Smokey umekula nini na umekuwa vipi😅😅😅?
Wish my 2021 had the low range option, it can get nasty down here in south Florida. Not many hills but I'm 220 pounds and first gear is not very instantaneous in the deep sand! Especially when Mr. Gator spots you.
The only gators we have is at the zoo 😅. I would be terrified riding in terrains with alligators close haha
we need it in france please mr honda 😄
Honda was going to stop making this bike but Australia Post buying it since the 70's kept it alive..
They stopped buying them a few years ago now and have been trying to go electric with trikes.
@@jamesmitchell7185 Only for city's.
Cheaper alternative here in Malaysia Is Aveta Ranger Max 130 launching soon.
It says "owner's manual" in English because it looks cool. The Japanese on the front said, "Hunter Cub." More accurately, it said, "Hantaa Kabu"
Watch out for Magpies. They have it in for Posties.
Great video! No idea why they are not selling in europe- we have the euro5 engine for cb125f, cb125r, sh125i, grom, dax... can you tell the reason? I love this bike! I think it could be a great seller in the eu as well!
I have found some numbers on total worldwide motorcycle sales for Honda and Europe is very small compared to other countries in the world. 😌
@@LifeofSmokey yeah, probably! Its allways `bout the money!:(
i know this shift pattern from the old honda engines, and if i don't pull the brakes can i still shift from 4th to neutral or does it block without pulling brakes? because on the old ones it was possible to shift from 4th to neutral and in 1st again without any brakes and this was a bit dangerous
Nope when I'm riding I can't seem to go from 4th into neutral. Maybe I just don't kick it hard enough but I don't want to risk going from 4th to 1st when doing 50 😅
@@LifeofSmokey yeah that's why i ask if there is some stopping mechanism in there..... maybe you can try on the centerstand so it is safe. some time ago i build a turbocharged minibike with a honda engine with this shift pattern and let a guy ride it...... you can imagine what happened..... 1st wheelie 2nd wheelie 3rd wheelie 4th no wheely but fast already then he was on the search for 5th gear..... yeah it was neutral and he searched again for 5th gear and there it was the 1st gear........ engine blown up completely.......
if you put a 3.00 tyre on the front you will need the brackets that move the fender higher
I have those ready , I also ordered a high mx looking fender for even bigger tires. But not sure if it will fit the rear 😬
the 125 hunter is build at Thailand !!!! and cost there around 2300 USD !
Yeah just seen a picture of 6 of these in all colors in a Thailand store 😲😲😲
I work for Australia Post and I brought my own new ct 125 and it's a red one
Can you get other colors in Australia?
@Life of Smokey You could get a olive green or tan brown colour here in Australia.
its perfect engine 👍
Brah you have a very nice bike.
powdercoat the exhaust cover :) - cos this is green the latest model does it have 5 speed and spin on oil filter - dank je well!!
No just 4 speed I think 😅🙈.
Not yet, maybe next year
I saw a red version in Indonesia yesterday.
Hello, is it possible to buy and import such a bike from Japan?THANK YOU IN ANDANCE
I bought it and imported it from Japan yes
Bring that cute little Honda to Europe.
Please.
Dude, I'm in rhe UK. How do I go about importing from Japan please? Many Thanks 😊
In UK it is possible not sure how. In Europe it's a big problem 😅
Did you know the bike can actually shift from 4th to N when the bike is stationary. You don't need to hit the brake
Yeah I actually mean like not moving. That's correct right? 😅
@@LifeofSmokey Yeah! That’s right :))
One more reason to buy one, never had a bike that shifted like that before. It will be weird at first
When used as a postie bike in Australia and Taiwan, this is a useful feature.
You roll up to a letter box on a upwards slope, then hit neutral to reverse.
Remember, this bike does not have a clutch lever to disengage the engine.
Used Australian postie bikes were sold to East Timor. They are also used by junk mail delivery companies.
Only red here in US. We do not have here that cool green color one then yours.
Great Bike! Did anyone find a way to register it in europe? I want to import one but only if I can register it here (fyi i'm based in Germany)
Not yet , I was hoping Germany could do it haha
Red available in Australia 🇦🇺
Only RED color is available in US/Canada market :(
Can you lift the front up to put it in a lift?
Not sure what you mean bud 😌
@@LifeofSmokey An elevator in an apartment block.
We have tvs xl heavy duty
I wish i have ct 90 😔
How do i buy a bike from japan and have it sent to US
Find a company who imports from Japan 😌
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks
C'est pas donné pour une 125. En Thaïlande, elle est vendue 2500 euros.
paperboy 🙂
You just destroyed your helmet by throwing it on the concrete floor!
That's a 25 year old helmet with no more inside foam I painted white for this video 😁
I want one but i want one for 4 grand not 6 or 7 grand
Fly to Japan , ride it home 😁👌
Only red in USA.
mn flex word onrustug als ik dit verse welpje zie,...
I think they are made in thailand
Yeah but I mean Honda is Japanese. Didn't know they made them in Thailand 😁
@@LifeofSmokey cheap labour.
ทำไมราคาแพงมาก
😂😂😂😂😂
🇬🇭
Extra bag for your weed? 🤔
