Nostalgia is a big thing and in as homage to one of the
greatest bikes ever created, Honda has announced that
the new CT125 will be released in Australia.
Inspired by the CT110 ‘Postie bike’, the new CT125 will
be familiar to anyone who has mail box however, it has
been dragged into the 21st century with a 125cc single
cylinder 4-strole engine, ABS, modern electronics with
digital display and LED lights plus an electric start.
The CT125 looks almost identical to the 110 yet
according to Honda provides everything that the modern
motorcyclist can need, regardless of being a commuter
or hardcore adventurer.
While simplifying the surface of each part on the
frame, Honda has carefully taken the symbolic features
of the CT series, including the upswept muffler, air
cleaner cover, fuel tank, large carrier and steel front
fender and created a balanced new image of the tough
old CT entering modern times. The styling for other
parts ranging from the turn signals to the handgrips also
highlights the distinctive presence typically found in the
CT series.
With the frame based on that of the Super Cub, Honda
says the bike has handling characteristics well suited to
travel whilst stable enough for some fun cornering.
