Disc brakes front and rear have been
fitted to replace the CT110's drum brake
setup, and the gas tank gets an extra
0.4 gallons of capacity to register 1.4
gallons. Finally, there's a sump guard to
protect the bottom of the motor.
Riding the CT125, it really doesn't
feel that far gone from the CT110, and
that's a good thing. This is about as
unintimidating a motorcycle as you can
possibly buy, with the 125cc motor
good for (in my hands) a whopping 59
mpg with a downhill and a tailwind.
This is a bike designed to get you to
faraway places, and one made in such
a way you could fix most problems with
a Swiss army knife.
The power is enough that it'll keep
up with traffic on back roads but, like
the Super Cub, don't go taking this
thing on any freeways unless you want
to become someone's hood ornament.
The braking performance is better
than I remember from when I had my
2021 HONDA CT125 TRAIL

This shot was
taken right up in
the hills around
Julian, California,
and after a few
gnarly rocky
sections. The CT
just ate them up.
