New Honda CT125 Review | 5-Speed, More Horsepower + More?
New Honda Trail 125 / Hunter Cub CT125 Review! Today we're taking a look at this highly modified custom CT125 build and showing you all of the mods thrown at it. We've got everything from wider, more dual-sport oriented tires for the Trail 125 to help off-road to the Kitaco Neo 181cc big bore kit for this CT125 too! It doesn't stop there though as this Trail 125 / CT125 also has a new 5-speed transmission by Takegawa, added storage thanks to the GIVI trunk, LED pod lights for the CT and the list keeps going when it comes to mods for this motorcycle...

125 typically gets a whopping 9.7hp with that kit installed I've heard the increase is a additional 15-20hp which could give that bike 30+hp potentially and a 5 speed transmission added i bet you could take that bike from a top speed of 55mph to more like 75mph so now it will go highway speeds

No trani lever to have that extra low geared transmission? No thanks.
My first bike was a Honda CT 70. Got a set of keys in a small box for Christmas when I was eleven. My neighbor owned two Honda shops and bored it out. I could pop wheelies with a twist of the wrist. An angry old man kept calling the cops on me every time I would go ridding on the giant field across the street. Ended up arrested and had to get rid of the bike. Still the best present I have ever gotten in my life.
To say this is awesome would be the downplay of the year. I always love what some people come up with. The trail 125 is one of those bike that we Canadian don't get to enjoy... Yet. Hey HPK, mind meeting me at the boarder and if you could just lob one over, that would be GREAT!

If only we lived in a world where you could buy any new Honda that rolls off the production line, instead of this whole "this country gets this, that country gets that" crap that we have now. Maaaan oh man would that be awesome as Honda makes some cool stuff that most people have no idea about, since it's not imported into their home country and they're not on the internet digging around to see what else might be out there.

Honda needs to up their game and reintroduce the dual range transmission on that bike.
My son bought one of these two weeks ago in a bright orange red!
I had the stock CT125. I'm not sure I would have wanted to go any faster. It was tiring having the wind on your legs at speed. A fairing sure helps with this. It was a fun bike and it was my first bike, but honestly buying the CB500X was a huge step up and a lot more enjoyable to ride.

It's nice to see a Honda not dressed in plastic. All the mods are necessary for today's traffic. Exceptional build that should be available at your local dealer.
It would be so much nicer if Honda just put a 250 cc engine in one and make it a 5 speed.
With the cost of all expensive Takegawa, Kitaco part i can make it to 246cc with machine shop made 68mm piston, 68mm stroker, big 2 or 4 valve head, also 5 speed or 6 speed can too. Here in South East Asia already does a lot of customized engine of 100cc and 125cc Honda Cub. Just search on youtube "4v 66/5" you'll see a lot of Thailand people do customized 125cc engine
DAMN !!! Ashame it ain't from the factory like that and at an affordable price point for the working class bloke !!!
Wow that 🔵💙 blue bike is quality tyres spots nice job . I don't mind paying for something like this good .
Super little custom. It would be great in the UK with out overcrowded and potholed roads.
I saw a prelude in the background, honda family! 💪

Really improves the CT125, no question. Hard to believe you can get all that for only $299 extra. ;-)
Would have been nice to know performance difference---hp, torque, speed etc.plus what is the cost. you really said a lot with out giving any real information.
Love it! 181 CCs is perfect! I was riding Hondas when the Beach boys came out with that song in 1968. I was 16. How much, 8k?
I have a ct110 and love it, I think then new trail 125 looks awesome too, but when I want more power I just ride a bigger bike. I don't completely understand modifying these little bikes. Maybe if I lived in a country where I was being taxed based on displacement and I was attempting to fly under the radar.

And water cooled!
We restored a barn Honda 1969 CT90 Trail K-1 with 1,200 miles on it that has four gears, and if selected, a granny low range. After lapping the valves, new coil, rectifier, battery, points, de-rust the fuel tank, gas filters and full carb rebuild kit, it will do 50 mph, GPS, on the flat with my son riding it who weighs 180 pounds. The new CT125 with fuel injection will only do 55 mph, and does not have the low range gear box. The "power" of the 125cc over the old 90cc is subjective. I'm willing to bet in a pulling contest with the 1968 CT 90 low range gear selected, it will pull the CT 125 backwards.
That's a great looking mini-bike with go anywhere ability. I would rock something like that to do did deliver apps with!
That blue hue has caught my eye, beautiful. Great video thanks again.

Oh yeah, that blue is absolutely B-E-A-UTIFUL and maaaan oh man was it beyond difficult to capture its true color on camera, without the rest of the shot being too light or dark etc. Definitely testing my limited skillset with a camera and its settings lol! Thank you! Appreciate the kind words and support as always, Jim ;)

@@HondaProKevin When I go to car shows I see photographer use a gray or white piece of cardboard, maybe that would help the camera get the correct hue.
Awesome bike. But I have to ask is this $4000 bike now a $7000 bike?
Beautiful build!
Love this build. Gives the trail the slight boost on hp it needs. What I’m wondering though is how the new engine affects the mpg. I might try to do this myself and I love the trails high mpg, so I don’t want it to get too low, especially with it’s small fuel tank.
Maybe it's my earphones, but I couldn't tell any significant difference in the exhaust note. I guess you had to be there. Also, no mention of fuel consumption for the modified versus factory rig. I'm betting the range of this modified bike has been significantly reduced unless they also increased the fuel capacity, although no mention of fuel capacity was mentioned.
Just like the CT125, the PG-1 cannot be had in the US. I do not want to wait two to three years before I see one on the west coast
Very nice Honda Trail 181! 💯
I already have 5 motorcycles. I want one.
I’ve never wanted a moped so bad
sweet looking bike now that i have mine, my neighbors want one
What size are the tires you put on the bike? Great video man!
Thing is perfect. I need one.
Did I miss it? What did all those upgrades cost in the end and would it be worth it?
I think it's the future of motorbike in west country
Seems like adding a big bore kit to it and using a newer grom 5 speed transmission would be considerably cheaper and would yield similar results. No need to add the separate radiator either.
I'd like to take that to Baja and tell the stadium trucks to catch me if they can. 😀

lol I like your thinking!
Man this is super sweet!!
amazing custom 👍👍👍👍
Ok, now THIS IS COOL..
Great video & nice bike, thanks!
Hahaaa, fantastic, surprised the suspension was left alone
Not that this applies because this is a mod video but a new CT 125 is selling for $4,000 and I've been shopping around and found a cherry original CT 90 for $2,000. That's a no brainer.
“ Perfection”👍🏼
1000th Like!!! Amazing yet simple.

Appreciate the support! It's been interesting to see how many people like the build and can appreciate what went into it etc versus the latter.

@@HondaProKevin Greetings Kevin. Is this a unit that will be offered? I have been pricing the Royal enfield scram and Himi here in Las Vegas where off road riding is plentiful. Enthusiasts such as myself searching for my 6th Enduro do not need to wheelie through the neighborhoods anymore. Loved the review and would like to see these Hondas offered out here. Thank you.
Honda needs to make this available for a $1,500 upcharge.
