    For Sale Trail 125 in Georgia--sold

    As much as it pains me, I'm selling my Trail. It has about 1100 miles on it and counting. I did the first oil change per the manual at 600 miles. I will include the Service Manual I bought at Helms. I paid close to $6k for it in February. I used it to learn to ride but I find myself...

    What do you think of the bike now?

    Now I need to order a spare plug LOL

    What do you think of the bike now?

    I was reading my earlier post at 380 miles. I've now turned 1000 miles. I am a LOT more comfortable on this bike. I am totally in tune with it now. If I have ANY kind of an errand I can run that fits in a backpack I take it. I need to put a cargo box on the back. I've considered delivering...

    Where can I get a crash bar without crazy ass ship cost?

    Oh gotcha. Yes I need those for my new CB500X as I've almost dropped it a couple of times (but I didn't!) I don't think I see the need on the CT125 for myself personally. I tell people half seriously that it is like having a big bicycle with a nice engine. That's just how maneuverable it feels...

    What am I missing here? Doesn't the CT125 COME with crash bars?

    Just turned 1000 miles (in 2 months!)

    Had to pull over and grab a picture to capture the moment. Literally my first 1000 miles on a motorcycle. I did just buy a CB500X too so got a few miles there too.

    What do you think of the bike now?

    I've got 380 miles on mine in the last month here in Georgia (south Atlanta). It is my first motorcycle (I only have my permit). It took me about 2 weeks to work up the nerve to ride in on a big road, but now I've actually been on a 4 lane highway in my town and totally comfortable. The down...

    Who's got one on order? And more importantly, what news have you heard?

    What part of the country are you in?

    Slow speed turns on bike without a hand-operated clutch

    I've found that slow speed maneuvers in 2nd gear is MUCH smoother. Alternatively, I have also been using the rear brake in 1st gear to smooth things out as well. The surges in first gear ARE kind of annoying though.

    Shifting Question

    So if I "half shift" by holding the lever down, I'm in neutral?

    Price Check

    I wish I could have saved $800, but I've got to say--just turned 100 miles and it is a BLAST!!

    Price Check

    That is an EXCELLENT price.

    Shifting Question

    As I spend time on my new Trail (going up and down my dead end 0.75 mile street), I've got a question to ask-- When I downshift, if I just “shift” (tap the lever and then let it go) I can make the wheel “chirp”. If I click the lever down, but then bring it back up easy, it is more like a...

    I've only had mine a couple of days and learning to ride on it. So far, so good, SO FUN.

    In other words, "You meet the nicest people on a Honda--except in the dealership."

    First time riding!

    I think the correct word for me was "exhilirating" as well. I used to hang glide so I've done other "adrenaline" sports. This was different. This was really fun!

    First time riding!

    This is my first time riding a motorcycle. Been an avid cyclist most of my life. Went to get it yesterday with a friend's Ford F-250 and a trailer. Halfway there one of his rear brake calipers stuck and was smoking. Mission aborted. Went today with a friend’s pickup truck. They loaded it up...

    I love how my dealers are saying freight is like $800-900 dollars. I was $5500 out the door. I knew I was getting kind of screwed. Oh well. (I'm in Atlanta, GA)

    Which octane are you using?

    Very interesting about the residual fuel in the hose. Maybe I will fill my car up with premium next time and get a 5 gallon container after it has flowed for a minute for the CT125.
