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.
De Honda CT125 Hunter Cub is een spirituele opvolger van de legendarische Honda CT90/CT110 Trail-serie, die in 2018 voor het eerst als concept werd geïntroduceerd en in 2020 in productie werd genomen. Met een moderne 125cc-motor met brandstofinjectie wordt de iconische Cub-lijn nieuw leven ingeblazen, met behoud van het robuuste, praktische karakter van zijn voorgangers, waaronder een hoog gemonteerde uitlaat en halfknobbelige banden die geschikt zijn voor licht terreingebruik. Het kreeg snel wereldwijd een sterke aanhang vanwege zijn retrostijl, bruikbaarheid en brandstofefficiëntie, en werd vooral populair in Azië, Australië, Europa en Noord-Amerika.

Wat kopers moeten weten
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.
Generaties en specificaties per jaar
Originele CT125 geïntroduceerd voor gebruik in de landbouw en utiliteit in Japan met een 125cc OHV-motor.
"Kogelvrij landbouwgereedschap dat oprechte genegenheid verdient."
Ik heb een seizoen op een van deze locaties gezeten om een partner te helpen bij het bouwen van hekken op zijn terrein buiten Kyoto, en de CT125 klaagde nooit over modder, sporen of herhaaldelijk stilstaan op steile hellingen — hij bleef maar omkeren. De semi-auto met vier versnellingen en die onderaandrijving met een laag bereik is echt slim; je kunt wandelend over een rijstveld met terrassen kruipen zonder de koppeling dood te laten glijden. Negentig kilometer per uur is technisch haalbaar, maar voelt optimistisch aan. In het midden van de jaren zeventig zit hij comfortabel op de openbare weg, en daarlangs begint de OHC-motor door je polsen te zoemen. Het is niet spannend, en de trommelremmen zijn op zijn best agrarisch, maar niets aan deze fiets was ooit bedoeld om je enthousiast te maken — hij was bedoeld om langer mee te gaan.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"Brilliant urban runabout that's overpriced but worth every penny."
$3,500-$5,500 usedThe 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.
