Honda Ct125 Hunter Cub Review

Used Buyer Review

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.
