  1. How very convenient that it has the gauges in front of the handle-bars. The better to see them when you go flying!

    1. Pretty sure that's the new Honda Trail 125, very heavily modified. I haven't seen one in person yet, but considering it for my camp bike. Honda's website doesn't show that color, though. So again, $4000 US for the base model, and I'm guessing another $4000 US for all the modifications. Based on my Wife's Honda Monkey with the same engine, top speed around 40 mph (with my fat ass on it). So if the po-po is chasing you, best hope the batteries die in their electric car otherwise you ain't getting away.

    2. I love the Monkey! But I think this one would be a better amp bike for us guys…

    2. Epic ride THIS Scooter to shop at Wal-Mart. Tell them you self-identify as a Centar. Wear a horned helmet just for giggles.

  4. A Honda eh? What model number? I too would be interested in that! Does it come with training wheels?

    1. It’d be perfect for the RV, Cederq. Super quiet 4 stroke, it’d be perfect to bloop into town for a pack of smokes or a bottle of bourbon…

  5. I'm trying to criticize it but I got nothing except you need the upgraded suspension and ape hanger option.

  6. It's not a bad choice. But.... when (not 'if') you have to skedaddle to the boonies because Turdo sends the RCMP after you because of what you've posted on this blog, you'll wish you had the fat rear tire of the Yamaha TW200. We've been over this before.

    1. Who says we’re gonna run, M? 😆👍
      Way things are going… THEY’LL probably be the guys that shoot Turdo…!

    2. I bought a TW200 and was worried about “stepping down from proper sized engine” (my other bike has an 1100cc engine). The plucky little 200cc taught me the error of my biases. Now I love small displacement bikes. The TW200 has enough balls to do anything I’m brave enough to do and many things that would kill me. Sometimes I wonder if the CT125 is just as much of an unstoppable little mule.

  7. WTF you going to do with that? Lead the drag queen parade?

    1. No, but I’d definitely be in the lead of the Velcro Shoes & Fanny Pack gang! 😂👍

  8. Suit up in some appropriate gear from Abercrombie and Fitch like some hipster doofus and you'll be ready for your debut at Starbucks. Man panties will surely drop over you.

  9. I sat on one at the Toronto motorbike show last month. Honda Trail 125. Cool little putter. If I still lived on the farm, I would consider it. But, I'm a Yamaha guy so I'd second the recommendation for the TDub instead (TW200).

  10. This thing looks fun in a fat girl/moped kinda way.

  11. No clue what it is, none of the Honda offerings in USA look even close to the base unit before all the bars and geegaws.

  13. You can just make out part of the Honda logo on the drop tube. Looks like fun.
