    I finally found one

    I had to have my Trail shipped from out of state. The dealers here all had waiting lists--8, 12, or 14 deep, and only expected one bike all year. I also like vintage motorcycles, cars, bicycles, so the retro style which is hard to distinguish from the old 110s appealed to me. The CT125 is great...

    What do you think of the bike now?

    My is a great commuter, grocery getter, ride to the coffee shop, bike. I enjoy riding it. I think that you have to remember that the Trail is not, and was never meant to be, a moto cross bike, but simply a bike that can ride on the street, or on trails, with that versatility comes compromise in...

    Stall in traffic

    Yeah, it just cut out-- was idling at a light, seemingly OK, I went to start out, opened the throttle and it was not running. It started right back up. I must have pushed it into neutral so that the starter would work, but I don't remember doing so. Oil level looked OK. I haven't done an oil...

    Stall in traffic

    Can't find anything in the trouble shooting section of the owner's manual, and I didn't see any threads here related to this--today on the way home from work, my Trail 125 stalled when I went to pull out from a stop light. Immediately started back up and continued home without further incident...

    Gear-changing technique?

    When I first start my Trail, the first start of the day, I always have a hard time getting from first gear to second gear, but only on the first shift. In other words, when the Trail has been sitting overnight, or several days, I start it, move into first gear and start rolling. As I go to shift...

    Motorcycle Helmet

    @m in sc, you are right "low speed" is relative. 30 mph, 20 mph, it doesn't do a body good to slam into pavement and roll and slide at those speeds. Here in Texas, I had to take the MSF BRC to get a motorcycle license, and that class taught me that in most crashes, if there is an impact to your...

    What do you think of the bike now?

    I just got mine about three days ago. I like it enough, but it is taking a lot of practice for me to get smooth with this bike. Shifting without a clutch is not that easy. I keep reaching for the clutch, but that's not the main thing. Basically, by holding the shift lever down, I've noticed that...

    Carriers and baskets for the rear rack recommendations

    Thanks for the replies. I did end up buying the bike, had to get one from out of state. All of the dealers here in Houston have a waiting list of several people, but are only expecting to get one Trail 125 this year. I also saw this You Tube video, with a guy using a Pelican case:

    Carriers and baskets for the rear rack recommendations

    I was thinking of buying one of these, if I can ever find one, just wondering what bags/baskets/carriers/panniers that people are using on the rear rack. If I bought one of these I would like to be able to easily use it to a little bit of running errands, or maybe going to a park and bringing...
