And no clutch, you can ride with one hand. Or easy walk it though tough places. Racks to burn. Step though, easy on off.
There's a reason why there so popular.

All g if your dropping some mail off

Attacking an un maintained 20 degree track with a bit of dampness
Your low range is sweet till you tiny tyres clog then your weight saving is up to fuck all when your dragging or worse carrying your mode of transport
May as well walk
Just my 2c worth

They have their place. They do things other bikes cannot and other bikes do things these cannot. I have seen CTs get places I would never consider taking another bike and in one case where I could not walk upright.. Its all horss for courses. You dont buy a landy or a safari if you want to do rally and you dont buy an impreza for offroad hunting....

DRs are good and I loved my 250, not a fan of the 2 strokes with the exception of the yamaha AG unless you are simply wanting speed, and four hunting and creeping about, I would take a CT every time (Or a quad if one is there.) They are not for everybody, but there is a reason they made them for so long without changing them much. They got it right to start with.

Lot easier to balance with a little speed, gound clearance is also a bonus

Not cheap but there are a couple on the yellow site.

I would have grabbed that in a second if I was even in the same Island. I would suggest at least a few more than a couple boxes.....

I paid 500 a long time ago for one of them, seen it's share of blood and lots of coons , going to good home means more than money to me ,

PM inbound Gur1.

Not looking fora suzuki Ag thanks.

Suzuki TF125s are almost invincable, when geared low you can ride them without a clutch in easy terrain. Nice big wheels and lighter than a forstroke, also has a half decent carrier on it.

You can pick them up pretty cheap now.

OK Guys pretty much sorted now. Many thanks to all for the comments/advice. I'd like to acknowledge Tetawa and Gur 1 for their support and provision of necessary goods. To clarify the search; I wanted a CT110 for putt putting in my hunting and exploring in retirement, I needed reliability and quietness in a machine that was simple enough for an older guy to maintain. I love classics, including my wife. My intention is to refurbish the bike so grandkids can ultimately ride 'grandad's bike'. The forum has been a godsend!
