Honda Ct125 Hunter Cub
The Honda CT125 Hunter Cub is a spiritual successor to the legendary Honda CT90/CT110 Trail series, first introduced as a concept in 2018 and launched for production in 2020. It revives the iconic 'Cub' lineage with a modern 125cc fuel-injected engine while retaining the rugged, utilitarian character of its predecessors, including a high-mounted exhaust and semi-knobby tires suited for light off-road use. It quickly gained a strong following globally for its retro styling, practicality, and fuel efficiency, becoming especially popular in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America.

What Buyers Should Know
Bulletproof Honda Reliability
The CT125 uses a proven 125cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine derived from decades of Super Cub lineage, known for running 50,000+ miles with basic maintenance. Oil changes and clean air filters are essentially all it needs.
Strong Resale Value
Due to high demand and limited supply, used CT125s frequently sell at or near their original MSRP of around $4,000. Buying used rarely saves much money, making new purchases with warranty coverage the smarter choice.
Watch for Suspension Mods
The stock suspension is notably soft and many owners immediately modify it, so inspect used bikes for aftermarket rear shocks or fork upgrades that may signal hard off-road use. Also check the skid plate area for excessive impact damage.
