Thread: Ct110...

Opinions on this for a bush/hunting bike. Don't need to go fast, just want quiet. And can't fit a quad where I go.. Will it hold up?

They'd never hold up. There is a series of videos by these guys.



Unfortunately my brother wont let be borrow his nicely restored one.

Bro they are hard as nails you'll never kill an old one, would make a sweet hunting rig, light enough to lift over logs etc.

Edit, that video is all shit my first ever farm bike was one, it then progressed into my first moto x bike to be fair big jumps where punishing from memory but still doable!

Just put new tyres on mine today.
Be sure to get the dual ratio gearbox one.

I've had 2. They are great but take care not to pick up sticks etc that can get jammed into bottom of the gearcase. I loaned my bike and it came back with a big hole and it cost me near enough to $800 to repair.

The only problem is they want good coin for good ones.
I have had two.
Also worked for a sheep and beef guy who had them.
They are quiet,centrifugal clutch is good for spotlighting rabbits etc.
Can carry 2 jokers and a reasonable size hind.

I had one in Australia, Great racks or strapping gear to. My first bike was a ct110 and it was bloody brilliant. Buzzed along at 80kms on the road and would get me right to the surf through the sand dune and all.. Im sure it would be a good little bike to run huntng.

what ever you get , gear it so it just plonks along nicely and goes straight up a damn near 90 degree hill

And they are easy to get thru locked forestry gates.

Ignore the video. If they wanted an XR the stupid plonkers should have started with an XR. For what a CT is designed to do it would be ideal for you. You dont buy tractors to race on the weekend, just like you dont buy a sedan to drag a farm implement. The CT will do the job well and will keep doing the job well after you give up....

As he said, he wanted the slow, light weight, low gearing and carrying space of the CT, but wanted a little more suspension travel for the rough ground and older body; something I can attest to. The videos if you look at the others in the series still shows what the basic bike is capable of for hunting though.

I use a Sherco 290 a lot, extremely powerful, can idle along no sweat and has a great cruising speed in top gear.

Splatshop in the UK have great prices on bike bits.

Motorbikes are perfect for covering lots of big country
