Back in the '60s, I had a friend who had the Honda Trail 90 that looked pretty much just like this one, right down to the high positioned scrambler type pipe on the right side. His was bright red, though. We lived in the country, with a lot of dirt and field roads. We had a great time riding that thing.
They are great little bikes. I've got 1969 Trail 90 restoration project (that's to close to completion to have any excuses left 🤦♂ ) that I've painted this color. It was originally red, yellow was the other color from the factory that year and I like yellow vehicles better than red. I look forward to finding these on the used market in a couple years! I'd like to see Honda offer it in Mars Orange eventually.
I own one of these (2022). It's a great go anywhere bike that I use for all-day exploring. It's really allowed me to see and appreciate the area I've lived in for the past 22 years in a way I never really could before. I've discovered tons of dirt roads, a few trails, stunning vistas, and remote ruins. Great for cruising at 20-25 mph on packed dirt forest roads. Terrible on rocky terrain, deep ruts, or sand, at least with the stock tires. Better tires would give better results, I imagine, but it's never going to be a real "dirt" bike. It's for exploring, or getting to your fishing hole, or messing around on farm roads. Starts right up every time. Solid build. Very good for crummy paved roads. Handles cracks, potholes and manhole covers well. My best rides are the ones where I don't know where I'm going, and I almost always end up somewhere interesting. Because it's a dual sport, it's very easy to check out any interesting looking road, trail, or area, on a whim. The bike can handle almost anything you might come across. You can push, pull, or drag it out of trouble if need be. It's very liberating. If getting lost appeals to you, if you enjoy going slow enough to take in you surroundings, if you want to Boldly Go, then the Trail 125 may very well be your bike. i know I love mine,
As a steelers fan..got say , i love the color scheme, could definitely make it into a steelers theme bike pretty easily!that color really does emphasize the classical beauty of the trail 125
I really like the appearance and nostalgia of the Trail 125, but I have trouble with the fact that it’s $1k more than the XR150L. And I realize you get a lot more for that $1k difference, but I’m cheap. If I decide to upgrade from the Navi I’m not sure which one I would pick.
Make the back bigger with plywood. Bolt it down for more surface area. Pretty cool but i don't like the exhaust being that high. You could get burned easier.
The Trail 125 looks like a fun bike to cruise about on. I like the nice big storage rack on the back and that it's setup for taking only one person. I wonder if there's a big storage box available that will mount to it. I never got why they always made motorcycles to fit a passenger on them, I always saw them as a single person transport. That being said, imagine replacing those 50/50 tires with something a bit more aggressive. :)
I really wish they made one in a 250cc

They like so much fun

Perfect colors for the bike

Hope my 2024 Navi comes in soon
@@slowridersmotovlog201 What color did you order?

Hey that's my dealership. Cool!

Definitely seems like a great off road bike
@@slowridersmotovlog201 Indeed, something fun for some clean and relaxing trails. :)
Did you trade in a bike for that?
