Thanks for doing a 3 year review. I have a 2023 CT125. I have been enjoying it. Followed on Instagram.
Congratulations on the 23!! Appreciate the follow and thanks for watching! Stay tuned!
I'm coming up with one year on mine. Your videos are a big reason why I picked one up!
Awesome! Great to hear!!! Thanks for the continued support!!!
That's the only reason I've never bought one of those. I had a CT90 years ago and actually used the low range. I'd miss it for sure now.
Thanks for the review. The other day I put on my snow suit (it was minus 7) and I took my trail to the dealership for its 1000km service. Now I'm ready for spring. 😊
Minus 7 would have me almost in the fire instead of by it!! 😂 More than welcome man. Appreciate the continued support!!
@@PSBEadventures My pleasure. Love your content. 🙂
Happy 3 year Hondaversary 🎉 🏍 I purchased two New Pearl Organic Green CT125's in January. Nice little trail bikes !
Thanks!!!! 💪💪💪👍👍👍
Loving my 23 trail, going to swap out tires for the Duro 308's this spring. Thanks for all the great content!
Good to hear about the '23!! Yep, those Duro's will definitely be an upgrade over the stock ones!! Thanks for the kind words and happy trails!!!
Excellent long term review. I still have your PSBE CT125 decal on my 2021 👍.
Awesome! Much appreciated and thanks for watching!!
Coming up on 2 years for mine. I've put 21,000 mi. so far. Have had no problems, just maintenance. Little tank! Thanks for all your info on these, I've used it!!
Awesome man!! You're more than welcome! Appreciate you hanging out on the channel man.
Got mine at Kings Bay Georgia and had it shipped to Asheville. I use it for city riding. Still running strong. Thanks.
That's awesome!!! They definitely are a great dealer to do business with! Did they ship it for you or you had to get a 3rd party?
Black mtn born and raised these lil things are perfect for these small mtn roads and a blast off on the trails
Can’t believe it’s gone by that fast. Great to see you doing content on it. Hope all is well. Mine is 2 already, still love it. Dependable little bike. I had the same battery and charger port issue. Put a lithium Ion battery and it’s much better and stronger. Take care Sir.💪🏼🇺🇸
Time flies doesn't it!!! Thanks for hanging out here on the channel man!! Much appreciated! Glad to hear yours is still handing out the good times!
@@PSBEadventures I love the channel. I grew up on CTs and XRs. Great bikes. I think Honda did a great job with this modern rendition. Better lights, fuel injection and gauges. Still fun to ride on trails. It brings back my childhood. You riding the fence rows and in the woods brings it all back. Take care Sir.
@@JBROWN3830 my thoughts exactly!! Thanks again!
Amazing how much love there is for these mighty bikes. Maybe one day if you visit Australia you could introduce 'little red' to 'big red' Big red is a massive sand dune close to Birdsville in western Queensland & is a magnet for 4WDs & bikes to attempt to conquer it.
Awesome! I'd love that. I've watched Brent Pearson ride the Flinders in awe for a long time. Fantastic country out there man!
I wanted the trail but could not find So, i went with the monkey and enjoying that little bike so far. Only had it for 5 days and such great fun ive had. My first bike by the way and congrats on your 3 year anniversary.
I have a Trail. But the Monkey looks awesome. 😊
That's funny. I just ran into a similar issue. Could get a used CT125 that was about a year old, or pick up a brand new Monkey the dealer just got. I ended up with the Monkey on Friday. And honestly, after about 2 hours of rocking it up and down the gravel roads and little side trails, but I've been perfectly happy with it and smiling beyond belief.
I really like those little Monkeys too. When they get a little age on them, I may look for one in need of a bit of repair. I said about 4 years ago, I'd like to get 4 new internal combustion bikes in case the powers that be keep hating IC even after all it's done for humanity. It was the CT, Monkey, TW200 and and new CRF300L or the KLX300. Thanks for watching!! Congrats on the first bike and great choice!!
@@PSBEadventures ❤️ thank you!
@@ridgetop8161 Nice to hear you have a monkey as well.
Its a awesome bike i love mine wish i could get a silver one as well
Please lmk what exact tires your running and how you like them. Doing the NEBDR and need some good rubber. Thanks. Great channel
Thanks for watching Andrew! I have heard that these are getting kind of hard to get. The Shinko 244s 3.00x17 would be comparable to these in the video if so. Safe travels!

great vid man im thinking bout getting one perfect mischief machine hehe 🍺🍺🍺
It's an instant 30 year time warp back to the days of riding my little C70 passport with knobbies and no farings!! It's been great so far man! Thanks for watching!
yes we need the high low. thats the only reason i am thinking of selling mine. for not having it.
I’d still love to have one. Maybe one day.
Ride down this spring and take a ride on this one to see if you like it! I think you will! Thanks for watching man!!!!
I like the hi low on my ct 90 and 110
Good luck riding it until the wheels fall off 😂, I have an 84 Honda Big Red 3 wheeler that still runs great and starts on the 1st crank and the wheels show no signs of falling off !
That's definitely one figure of speech you don't use on a Honda!!! Appreciate you watching!!!
I'd love one of these beauties but Honda hasn't released them in Ireland. I'd swap my Grom for one in a heartbeat
Get at it Honda!!! They need these across the pond ASAP! Thanks for watching and hope they'll import them sooner than later!!
Honda only mistake.. not adding the 2 gear transfer case..
Bring it back Honda
The lack of the low range is the reason I haven't bought 1 yet. I may go ahead and put a bigger rear sprocket but the highways around here are posted either 55 or 65 mph. Even if honda went to a 6 speed. That would work.
Or maybe a big bore kit. I really want 1 but I need to do several miles of highway before I get to the backroads.
Stock gearing should get you 50-55 pretty easy on flat roads. Unfortunately even with taller gearing it'll be a stretch to get 60-65 out of it. It's definitely possible but it's tough with 8hp. I big Bore kit, aftermarket cam and ecu would definitely help. I really love it, but the two speed would be nice out west on big mountain passes for sure.
@@PSBEadventuresThank you, I live in Northern California with a few acres on a side of a mountain. Not super steep but good incline. We used to have a 70's Honda 90 but it got stolen. I definitely used the low range. Now
I am leaning towards looking for an older Honda 90 or 110 for use on the property and getting a bigger bike for off property. I had many motorcycles decades ago. I quit riding 25 years ago after busting up my leg. I could not start my Yamaha XT 350. I still could start the Honda trail 90. With electric start most bikes would be doable.
I was hoping the new 125 would work for work around the property and trips to the store but I am leery of it with out the low range.
@@JamesSmith-vv3ys look into an XT225 older one. They are electric start and six speed. They'll do 70 or more and super light and low seat height. There's a video or two of me working and riding one on the channel here. Be good for both, or a TW200 as well.
You got a samurai too…separated at birth
Oh yeah!! Great little machines for sure!!! Got a few videos up on it here on the channel as well! Thanks for stopping by!!!
👍👍👍👍👍
I'm torn between a minimoto and scooter. I'm 165 lbs. I'm about your age. Want to take up camping here in Quebec. Cold-you're in the Carolinas FFS!
🤣 Yall built different up there. Canadians down here swimming at Myrtle Beach in December!
Hi/lo…YES!
Agreed!!!!
I want hi/lo on my TDub too!
@@fairwind8222nothing wrong with that!!!
I wish that honda will put 5 speed on motor like the monkey
