The legendary 'CT' returns to NZ farms with the CT125. The latest model of old to get a modern-day revamp. Based on the iconic CT110 - a legendary Honda machine more commonly known as the ‘Postie’ bike - the CT125 boasts a 125cc, 1-cyl, 4-stroke engine, electric start, ABS, LED lighting and a digital display. The farm kit adds off-road tyres, farm gearing (chain & sprocket kit), front carry rack and handlebar protection.
Designed to last, this is a step-through farm bike that can handle the tough stuff, while offering a safer design, good carrying capacity and easy mounting and dismounting, especially for shorter farmworkers. Designed to be as versatile as the original – for work and play. Its nostalgic charm is certain to turn heads anywhere it goes.
The CT125 adopts its own exclusive intake and exhaust system, in which the positioning of the air cleaner and muffler has been changed from those of the other current Super Cub series models. This enables the tuning of the exhaust duct calibre and shape with a longer intake length provided, and thus ensures an articulate pulse of the vehicle and makes the throttle really easy to use.
The engines output characteristics focus on versatility. Offering a powerful dynamism of the mid/low-speed range; ensuring an enjoyable riding experience for longer cruising as well as comfort in stop-and-go traffic on city roads.
The CT125 is equipped with disc brakes for both front and rear wheels. A 220mm disc for the front and 190mm for the rear, offer adequate braking power even when you’ve got luggage on the back. There is also a front-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS) for added safety.
The chassis has been designed to adapt to a broader variety of situations and a broad variety of riders. It’s based on the common Super Cub chassis package, so its nimble and easily controlled but with an increased wheelbase, seat height and upswept handlebar.
The CT125 provides enhanced travelling and cornering stability with the adoption of the same type of top bridge and telescopic suspension commonly used for a regular motorcycle. Front suspension stroke has been increased to 110mm, up 10mm compared to the Super Cub C125, making gravel road riding a lot more comfortable.
Thanks to the CT125s large rear carry rack, the rear frame has been extended, by ensuring that the new head pipe and its surroundings have been reinforced, as well as focusing on the improvement of stability while riding on gravel roads.
Paint coating has been applied to the steel rims and stainless-steel spokes on both front and rear wheels. The front and rear tyres are 80/90-17 semi-block pattern with the focus of attaining a balanced performance that ensures the safety of everyday riding around-town as well as weekend touring on gravel roads.
