Thread: Brand new Honda CT125's

no low box

Jeeze, stupid money.

I purchased a brand new, Japanese made, same as came out of the factory in the 1970's Suzuki Mudbug 185 a few months ago for 3.5K NZ plus gst

Pretty much pissed all over the wee Honda for deer recovery back in the day. The yammie AGs were good too, but the AG100 chassis wasn't anywhere near as tough as the suzuki mudbug's. Easily carried two carcasses out for resale. Just didn't break any speed records, and was pretty hard on the body, what with suspension travel measured in mm instead of feet like a proper trail bike!!!
Still got my Original Mudbug. 1978, two owners (mate and me) and never had the engine touched.
But the new one is a lot more refined. Well its new for a start!
Oh, it has actually been upgraded a tad. Wheels are now standard trail bike size (21 and 18 inch instead of the original 19 and 17 inch) and headlight is 12 instead of 6 volt, as if that turns things from night to day ha!!!!

They are a great, cheap way of getting into some distant places if you intend to cart a bit of gear about, and handle steep country a whole lot better than quads. Just need a few more skills to operate successfully, than a quad.
