What's new

Honda CT125 or Trail 125 thread

I don't think the engine would have to be re-certified as it is available in the 2022/23 Super Cub.
Not sure. It could be the US market isn't ideal for the product. I thought the trail 125 was popular and rare but I located 3 not far for me...closest dealer is 65 miles. Dealer markup might have hurt sales.

I think inventory has caught up with demand. Some people probably moved on too.
 
Honda should be announcing the 2023 Trail soon and yes it will have the engine from the Super Cub/ GROM.

CARB filing shows a 2023 model and the engine family lists the same engine number as the Super Cub:

Super Cub:
 
If Honda brings the green Trail, I might trade mine in. Or just have 2 Trails.
 
Colors for 2023. Which one will we get? Notice the rack is now black except for the green model (the one I want!).

Good and bad news. Honda Canada is now selling the Trail 125. Good news is that it's got the updates engine from the GROM/ Super Cub. Bad news is that it comes in red. Nothing really wrong with red but it would be nice to see a different color. As reported above, the rear rack is now black.

 
Them - That bike is too small to ride anywhere!
Me - Really, rode mine 12,000 miles around 48 states?
Them - ....er....on that?
Me - Yep!

I put a deposit down on one the day that Honda Canada announced that they were coming here. The first one that comes in at Toy's in Moncton is mine. It's looking like late April delivery. I have been patiently waiting for this since the modern CT was introduced in 2020, so I guess I don't mind a couple more months.
All ready owning a '77 CT90, I'm looking foreword to 12 volt electrics, LED lighting, disc brakes, and the extra 3 hp!
 
rtwPaul was on the CT125 that I sold him so I can take part in the credit for his 48 state ride.
 
Finally broke 600mi....seems to be waking up a bit more.
 
Looks like more torque too!
Smaller bore, longer stroke, more compression, -1 on rear sprocket

Now i want to see if the long stroke crank will fit in my 22
