Honda Ct125 Hunter Cub

The Honda Ct125 Hunter Cub has a top speed of Approximately 95–100 km/h, produces 8.8 hp (6.5 kW) and weighs 118 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

El Honda CT125 Hunter Cub es el sucesor espiritual de la legendaria serie Honda CT90/CT110 Trail, que se presentó por primera vez como concepto en 2018 y se lanzó a la producción en 2020. Revive el icónico linaje «Cub» con un moderno motor con inyección de combustible de 125 cc, a la vez que conserva el carácter robusto y utilitario de sus predecesores, que incluye un escape alto y neumáticos semiinclinados, adecuados para un uso ligero fuera de carretera. Rápidamente ganó un gran número de seguidores en todo el mundo gracias a su estilo retro, su practicidad y su eficiencia de combustible, y se hizo especialmente popular en Asia, Australia, Europa y Norteamérica.

Lo que los compradores deben saber

💪

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.

7.8/10

"Herramienta agrícola a prueba de balas que se gana un afecto genuino."

Pasé una temporada en una de estas máquinas ayudando a un amigo a colocar vallas en su propiedad en las afueras de Kioto, y la CT125 no se quejó ni una sola vez de barro, surcos o atascos repetidos en pendientes pronunciadas; simplemente no dejaba de volcarse. El semiautomático de cuatro velocidades con esa transmisión de baja potencia es una ingeniería realmente inteligente; puedes arrastrarte por un arrozal en terrazas a paso de pie sin perder el embrague. Alcanzar noventa kilómetros por hora es técnicamente posible, pero da la impresión de ser optimista: a mediados de los setenta es cuando se está sentado cómodamente en una carretera abierta, y el motor OHC empieza a zumbar en las muñecas una vez transcurrido ese tiempo. No es emocionante, y los frenos de tambor son, en el mejor de los casos, agrícolas, pero nada de esta bicicleta ha sido pensado para emocionarte, sino para durar más que tú.

Pros

+Engranaje de underdrive de bajo alcance realmente útil
+Mecánicamente simple, reparable en el campo
+Lo suficientemente ligero como para manejarlo solo
+Torquey de gama baja para trabajos en senderos
+Famosa fiabilidad a prueba de balas

Contras

Los frenos de tambor inspiran cero confianza
Las velocidades de las autopistas se sienten tensas, zumbantes
La comodidad del asiento se degrada después de 40 km
Lo mejor para: Los usuarios de servicios públicos rurales necesitan durabilidad Omitir si: Te desplazas por carreteras rápidas

Reseña de un comprador usado

7.8/10
Lo mejor para
Urban commuters wanting reliable, economical daily transport

"Brilliant urban runabout that's overpriced but worth every penny."

$3,500-$5,500 used

The CT125 is genuinely charming, and I mean that without any sarcasm. Honda built something that punches well above its 125cc displacement in terms of real-world usability — the fuel range is absurd, reliability is Honda-bulletproof, and that upright riding position means you'll actually enjoy commuting again. Used examples hold value stubbornly, so don't expect bargains. Inspect the bash plate and undercarriage carefully; previous owners often played off-road adventurer without the skills to match. The 9.8hp engine is what it is — adequate for city streets and relaxed rural roads, genuinely frustrating on faster A-roads where you're wringing its neck just to keep pace with traffic. Suspension is agricultural at both ends, and anyone over 180lbs will notice. Check service history religiously; these attract first-time owners who think low maintenance means no maintenance. Tyres wear oddly if the previous owner loaded it with camping gear constantly.
