Picked up big brother this morning. I put 51 road miles on him today. My CT110 was so jealous that for the first time in years it would not start. After replacing the spark plug to no avail, It seemed that the fuel level was very low. I summarized that maybe the float had dropped and was flooding the engine. I filled the tank of the 110 and banged on the carb to free up the float and thank you Jesus! Now I was able to compare my 40 year old 1982 CT110 with his big brother. The engine of the 125 is smoother. When I first took off on the 125 I was amazed how fast I was going in first gear at near idle. I would really like it to slow down in first gear. (13T sprocket in hand). I was impressed how easily it handled the hills on my ranch in 1st gear that are like 45 degrees. I find that if you get in the power band of this bike it is very strong. Much more powerful than the CT110 in high range. The fuel injectio9n and larger displacement is very obvious. The wind was blowing very strong today here, wind gusts up to 25 MPH. I took it pretty easy on the bike. I did at times when pushed by traffic for short spurts reach 50 mph. Gotta love the Trail 125!!!!!!!
