Automatic clutch is a better way to describe it as up and down shifts are fully manual, just without the clutch. As a 50+ year motorcyclist I thought that the lack of a clutch lever would take a long time to get used to but it didn't. My only complaint is the keyless ignition.
You did just fine. I have a ct125 hunter cub or some call it the trail 125. It takes a second to get used to the centrifugal clutch and shifting. They are pretty much twist and go like a moped. I will say my Zuma 125 is faster. The Zuma has variable valve timing and you can feel it kick in. I like your videos. I am 50 soon to be 51 and I’ve been riding motorcycles and scooters since I was 18. My first little dirt / trail bike was a KX 75 Kawasaki it also had a centrifugal clutch, and I started riding it when I was six years old as a kid. Keep up the good videos.
Beautiful Colour ! There's a couple of things I would change such as , the speedo, it's not that easy to see with the dark background, if they made it like the original that would be amazing and with analogue fuel gauge. Another thing I would change is keep it simple and have no keyless start as standard and offer it to those who want it. More fuel tank capacity. Unfortunately today the Cub is far too expensive to be the People's bike it would have been in the past. Here in Ireland a new Cub 125 costs 4,800 Euro's or 5,230 USD, it's good but it's not that good, if Honda kept it more like the original then I'd say maybe because a mint C90 here from the 80s for example will cost around 4,500 Euros so if I could get a brand new C125 that was as simple as the C90, no electrics, no lcd display, original speedo, no key start I would say, hmmmm maybe but keyless start and that speedo with lcd display kinda ruins the character of the bike and going with digital fuel gauge just because they had the lcd display I think ruins the character of the bike. I'd also prefer halogen lights and no LED anywhere, given that it's supposed to be a retro bike. I don't like this idea that they will add tech just because they can and charge money for it, not good if you don't want it !
You gonna add one to your fleet now after taking it for a spin? I got my scooters registration renewed for the season yesterday and I took it for a spin to the dealer down the street from my house today to get it inspected. So it's all setup and ready for some summer riding. I am eventually going to have to change the gear oil in it. But it has a fresh oil change from the end of last season that never got any miles put on it due to constant rain. So we're all good there. :)
@@slowridersmotovlog201 Indeed. I learned how to ride on my fathers Honda ATC 185S growing up and that's how it shifted. That format is what's referred to as semi-automatic. You're still doing all of the gear shifting but there's no clutch to fumble with. :)
The best selling motor vehicle in the history of the world with more than 100 million sold since 1958.

Thanks I started to get use to it there after awhile.

We only get dark grey with red seat colour option here in the UK. Looks absolutely foul. I wish we could get that light blue option.

It’s definitely a different experience and fun!!
