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.

La Honda CT125 Hunter Cub est le successeur spirituel de la légendaire série Honda CT90/CT110 Trail, présentée pour la première fois en tant que concept en 2018 et lancée pour la production en 2020. Il fait revivre la lignée emblématique des « Cub » avec un moteur moderne de 125 cm³ à injection de carburant tout en conservant le caractère robuste et utilitaire de ses prédécesseurs, notamment un échappement surélevé et des pneus à semi-crampons adaptés à une utilisation tout-terrain légère. Il a rapidement acquis une solide réputation dans le monde entier pour son style rétro, sa praticité et son efficacité énergétique, devenant particulièrement populaire en Asie, en Australie, en Europe et en Amérique du Nord.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

💪

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

"Un outil agricole à toute épreuve qui suscite une véritable affection."

J'ai passé une saison sur l'un d'entre eux à aider un partenaire à planter des clôtures sur sa propriété à la périphérie de Kyoto, et le CT125 ne s'est jamais plaint de boue, d'ornières ou de décrochages répétés sur des pentes abruptes. Il ne cessait de se retourner. La semi-automatique à quatre rapports, dotée de ce rapport d'entraînement à bas régime, est une véritable ingénierie intelligente ; vous pouvez dévaler une rizière en terrasse au rythme de la marche sans avoir à actionner l'embrayage à mort. Quatre-vingt-dix kilomètres à l'heure, c'est techniquement réalisable, mais il faut être optimiste : au milieu des années 1970, c'est là que l'on peut se sentir confortablement sur une route ouverte, et le moteur OHC commence à vibrer à travers vos poignets au-delà de cette limite. Ce n'est pas passionnant, et les freins à tambour sont au mieux agricoles, mais rien dans ce vélo n'a jamais été conçu pour vous faire vibrer, il était censé durer plus longtemps que vous.

Pros

+L'engrenage underdrive à bas régime est vraiment utile
+Mécaniquement simple, réparable sur site
+Suffisamment léger pour être manipulé en solo
+Torquey bas de gamme pour les travaux sur les sentiers
+Fiabilité à toute épreuve

Les inconvénients

Les freins à tambour n'inspirent aucune confiance
Les vitesses sur l'autoroute semblent tendues et bourdonnantes
Le confort des sièges se dégrade après 40 km
Idéal pour: Les usagers des services publics ruraux qui ont besoin de durabilité Ignorez si: Vous vous déplacez sur des routes rapides

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion

7.8/10
Idéal pour
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.
