Was able to get out and put a few miles on the “red sled” over the weekend. First impressions are as expected Fun to ride 🤩. The only negative feedback is the tires don’t handle well in the sand. Several additional items to be ordered in the near future.🙌6AC374F6-5F43-45B5-9F4C-F790F5B22831.jpeg

I rode mine for the first time this weekend. I also have a Super Cub and I like how the CT feels so much better. I'm 6'3" and don't feel cramped on the CT. Handles great. I'm going to make a few adjustments like moving the handle bars forward but I'm really happy. I'll be keeping it, God willing, a very long time.

I'm thinking it is the 270# with a 125cc motor is why it doesn't handle well in the sand. I have the 3.0 golden boys and fwiw no real difference in the sand that I noted but you can feel the knobs on the pavement. Great ride either way!

118 miles! That brings me joy.

Got mine home 2/02. Did a couple of rides around town. Fun to ride. Feels less cramped than my CT90 or CT110. Great little bike overall.

I got Minnesota 403 home in January and it is so much fun to ride. Ridding it home makes me feel so better after a day of work. I’ve mostly been doing city ridding DC. I’ve been stopped five times by people who want o ask about it.

Hi Ken

Good to see you guys talking miles! I’ve got 225kms on mine so far. Two rides really. I am about your height and would like the bars a little further forward. Are you just going to turn the handle bar clamp around?
I would say the only thing I find could be improved is the suspension. On the tar seal getting along bumps can be quite jarring.
I have ordered a set of Ohlin adjustable shocks for the rear. ( very pricy but I have good experience with them)
I will also re-kit the front forks with Ohlins when they start making them.
I’m hoping this will improve the ride a little. Overall I’m not disappointed with the little bike. It’s got fantastic road manners.

What's the number of the Ohlins shocks?
