The CT110 saw the longest model run of
almost any production bike ever created
and has a special place in my heart as the
motorcycle the postman came to deliver
our mail on each day while I was growing
up in Australia.
The new version in the 125 Trail 125 ABS
(silly name, I know), was first shown to the
public at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show and
borrows heavily from the Super Cub that
was released in the U.S. that year.
The Super Cub's two-valve, single over-
head camshaft, fuel injected, 125cc single
cylinder motor has been donated, although
the CT gets a longer intake and a differ-
ent exhaust which helps with better low-
end power, as well as a three-tooth larger
rear sprocket, and the CT still retains the
trademark heel/toe four speed auto clutch
gearshift.
The Super Cub's frame has been used as
the blueprint for the CT's but there's some
pretty big differences between the two.
First, the wheelbase is 0.5 inches longer
at 49.4 inches, the front suspension has
got 0.4 inches extra wheel travel to 4.3
inches, ground clearance is increased by
1.1 inches, and the seat height has been
raised 0.8 inches to 31.5 inches.
The headpipe has been reinforced,
there's different handlebars with a much
sharper upsweep and there are 17-inch
knobby tires mounted on rims with stainless
steel spokes.

When all goes to poo, get on a
CT and laugh your butt off.
