I found one a month ago at a shop about 100 miles from my house here in southern Indiana. I got it at MSRP and no gouging.
A shout out to M+B Honda in Bedford Indiana. They were in the midst of a major remodel so maybe not much floor traffic there in February.
Anyway I got it home and installed an Apache X large case on the rack and a wire pigtail for a trickle charger for the nearly impossible to
access battery terminals. Going a step further I got a plug in block from Wal Mart with 2 USB sockets and an old school 12 volt accessory plug.
I carry it in the case and can run just about anything off of it including a very small 120 volt inverter. I was gong to raise the front fender, but the kit I bought looked like it would tear up the front fork boots so I opted out. Anybody have experience with these lift kits that won't destroy
the fork boots? so far I have gotten it up to 52 MPH but it usually tops out at 49/50. I'm going to run a test with Amoco Ultimate high octane
to see if I can squeeze another mile or two of top end out of it. The weather has been such that I have only managed to put about 70 miles on it
to date. Oh I almost forgot. I also put a magnetic drain plug on the oil pan. These bikes are the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
Ride safe and enjoy.
56/100 is a pretty bad score. I'll take it off yer hands for $3k, to make room in your garage for something better. Just to be nice.
😂😂😂👍🤣🤣
Clive from Australia here. I love the history of how these bikes originated as fishing, hunting and agricultural etc. I love the comments that go with the video as well as the video. Brutally honest. I have just driven 2400 km (1,500 miles) to a different state to get one. If you love them which many people do it’s just worth it. They are a thing of beauty…
You deserve my subscription for the mere fact you drove from Anaheim CA to the state of Washington to buy this! Amazing. Well done.
I lived in Torrance California well in my prime in the 80s. Went to my first Rolling Stones concert at Anaheim Stadium. I was actually a big dodger fan, and when the Angels went to Anaheim I was kind of upset, but slowly Turned into an Angels fan! Not so much anymore since I live in Atlanta and no root for the Braves.
But back to the point of the story-
Just getting out of Anaheim one piece in any vehicle is a great accomplishment, much less doing it on a trail 125, lol!
I didn't know there was that kind of waiting list for them. I guess I better get on the list because I want - I mean "NEED" one.
Not just for "guys"- I just got mine & felt like a kid riding it! (60 yr old woman, me : )
I bought a second one today and there are two more available in upper Iowa.
They will be sold soon.
I live in Jersey.... Flew down to Jacksonville, rented a pick up, and drove to GA to pick her up from the dealer.. $4387 out the door...... FL sharks wanted 5900(no state tax) - 6400 locals smh
Honda of Jacksonville wanted $6500,00 out the door. The dealer in Brunswick was over $1000.00 less. People need to remember the dealers that were gouging now when it changes and becomes a buyers market.
There's plenty in NJ at invoice snapperhead
I want one of these bad. Aggravates me honda is using artificial scarcity to drive demand. Especially in these times when I worry that if the economy shits the bed I might never get my hands on one. Quality review, thanks man
They’re not hard to find now.
That was a really cool review 👍
Yeah I got mine around February I think. I don't anyone is hardly selling for MSRP right now. All charges and state tax on mine was around $4800. Hey, I happy with it at that. If they ever become more readily available I'm sure the price will be better. I had to drive to another state to get mine. Virginia didn't have one anywhere when I purchased mine. My two worst gripes about it are, no gear indicator and the seat isn't that comfortable, which I had already heard before I bought it. With that being said I've put around 45 miles on mine each of the last 3 trips I have taken it out. Its bearable. Really fun bike! No regrets on buying it. EE
I got a nice seat but haven't tried it yet. On EBAY. Black ribbed seat
Hey if can remember to. Let me know what you think of it after you try it. I might be interested in one. Thanks EE
there's 10 in different Jersey dealer's at msrp
@@wileecoyote5749 That would be awesome. Wish I could have picked one up at that. Probably wouldn't have been a lot more drive than where I went to.
This reminds me of people waiting in lines to buy overly expensive I-Phones.
how much should it cost boss?
Generally MSRP+shipping listed on Honda power sports website, and most dealerships have a setup charge of about $200, at least around here. That's the best I've found. YMMV of course. 😁
Some of the dealers go well past that however. Those are the ones who usually have inventory on hand of course.
It is called financial raping.
Hard to find is so true! I got so lucky when I went to the Honda dealer down the street to get a new pair of gloves. They were just wheeling out a Trail 125 that had come in. so I jumped on it! I had been looking for one for many months. So, I got so lucky and I really love it! Great video!
Wow that's insane luck, good on you.
@@calobster Double lucky because he only charged me MSRP!
I searched the Honda dealer websites for one. A dealer in in Jacksonville had one so I requested a quote. A sales man called me up and told me the out the door price was $6500.00. That was a ridiculously high price. A called another dealer that I have purchased bikes from just to see what it would be out the door to compare the prices. I had already looked at his website but he didn't have one listed. When I called him, he said a CT125 just came in the day before. His price out the door was over $1000.00less than the dealer in Jacksonville. Needless to say I drove over there and bought it.
Honda didn't stop on a lot of features. But they didn't keep one of the important features that trail riders loved about the original, the Hi/low range gearbox. I will wait for the demand to drop and hopefully a Hi/Low range gearbox.
Yeah! That's what I loved about my 1982 110. l thought the dual range tranny was the best thing about the bike! I would buy a new one if it wasn't for the tranny not being dual range. But maybe Honda will have second thoughts and offer it with one. Then I'm going to buy one for sure!
Years ago I never would have considered buying this bike thinking it was a goofy looking scooter and opted for a large dual sport. But, I just put a deposit on one (not sure I'll get it) because it makes perfect sense for trail riding. Light weight, easy to maneuver, fast enough to get to/from the trails and automatic which means you don't have to slip the clutch in difficult sections because it won't stall...just concentrate on the gas. We'll see but as usual in life, common sense and practicality wins in the end.
Nicely done, great overall view on the little Honda.
In Australia the general public cannot buy the Ct110 (Postie) bike. Every Ct110 which came into Australia could only be bought by Aust Post. Everyone else had to buy a second hand bike which came available when Aust Post sold them. I was a postie for 13 years and never had one break down.
Dude thank you so much for sharing, this is such a great bit of info on the little postie bikes. I lived in Oz for a while and I lost it the first time I saw a postie ride across someones front lawn in Liverpool. If a mail man walks on some peoples grass in the states they would blow a gasket, can't imagine if the mailmen rode across our lawns on little motorcycles.
So, you're the one who beat me to the Cle Elum bike. I got one now, so I'm not bitter at you any more... haha.
Any idea why the instrument cluster/speedometer is offset from center? Looks strange how it's right of center. Love this bike. Thanks for the segment.
Wow. An honest review. You’re done.
Your half jokingly review of the trail 125 was great. Better lighting would’ve made it great.
Its not even available in europe! What the heck is Honda thinking?
I only had to drive 2 hours to get mine. A dealer I like got one in.
Anaheim native here. Congrats on your bike! Ps looks like you’re in Anaheim Hills
Excellent review 👏 👌
Thank you 🙂
wait till you hear about the price in Singapore if this bullet bike ever land here.
Love mine! Paid way too much but it was the best price out of the 4 dealerships I went too and they actually had one in stock.
what you pay>? Im about to pay 5186
@@tylerschafer1296 $5800 I had a couple estimates for $6000+ 5186 not bad 👍
@@sman222222 thanks for the reply. I felt like i qas getting robbed when they said the final price.
I pre-ordered and paid cash. My wait was 9 months. I got one of two that the dealership sold. Well worth it
I would choose the super cub over this. that being said I want the monkey over all these bikes.
Picked up a green one over the weekend
I have my new 2021 trail in feb 22. Great around town also but needs a 5 speed so you would have more of a granny gear and I reach for the clutch to shift to a highway gear at 25 mph . Nothing there !
Awesome
Reminds me more of the Honda Trail 90 ( CT200) circa 1964
3899 is the msrp on these bikes and i found one but i gave $4400 plus all the other charges for mine and it ended up being $5019 way to much but i called everyone every week over and over before i found this one. and no regrets yet. not to many trails around here anymore but i do plan on hitting a few in the next month if i can.
You’re a spot on what I had to pay for mine. Atlanta Georgia, nothing available but then poof! Won showed up and we got it. Five grand out the door tax license and set up fee.
Brought it to work and wrote it around, 20 people wanted to know where the heck I got it? Not joking, I got two more in the next three days. Every time one came in the shop, we bought it.
Sorry can’t tell you where that shop is! If you can get a chance to get one, you better do it! Don’t even think about it!
@@petethegrip4556 well i have been offered $6000 cash for mine already but its not for sale
@@MadsWorld34 never sell it! I had the 110 with the gear shifter for low and high range.
Unfortunately I had to sell mine and a few other things just to make my house payment in the 90s. 60 years old now and just have had mine for two days. I feel like I’m again
(Got cut off….) I was saying I feel like A kid again!
@@petethegrip4556 i love my house during Harvey and had to sell all my toys to build a new house and this is the first toy i got since then. i bought it as a toy. but i know it has saved me $300 just in fuel alone so far.
Solid
I ordered one and it took 6 months to get< MSRP and close to my home, SO what did I do while waiting? Rode my 2019 Honda CRF1000L manual Africa Twin another 10K ,,,,,,, 😂
good job...
My first motorcycle was a CT 90 not sure of the year but can it was pre 1972 😊 I’d like one. Just got a Navi
It doesn't go on the freeway so by my own personal definition that makes it an adventure bike.
they refuse to sell in Canada
now they do!
@@active6302 800km on mine so far :D
@@meuhey I just got min. Whooop!
You don't have wind it tight.
at 300 pounds and 6 foot i would look dumb on it but wish i could
I'm same and drive a 2005 Metropolitan. Fuck it
If at 190 pounds in 1972 I was too heavy for an XL175, then I'd be too heavy for this little runabout. I wanted a 350cc back then but couldn't afford it.
im 6 2 330 and i look dumb but its fun as hell
Having stationary foot pegs causes cramps on longer rides maybe adding an extra set of foot pegs forward when cruising the country roads would allow your knees to change angle and not cause those painful cramps.
I can only possibly, barely afford 2 wheels, next year, maybe. Autistic.
Not original at all. Hated it.
