I'm officially on the hunt for a Trail 125 now, was hoping that all the media I see for a "Hunter Cub" was about a future US version that is more off-road and less red. I guess I was wrong.

I'm curious (but am not seeing a post) if anyone has taken the bike down to its frame and re-painted it and replaced the plastic parts? How feasible would it be to pursue it? What would/did it cost?

I'd love to just go a nice matte gray/green with black accents.

@CaptainNags has done a re-paint and might have some info on that.

Thanks, it looks like he did it himself... which is encouraging for the DIY part of me. It turned out amazing.

Look at YouTube for what the Thai's (where CT125 is made) and they have had a year ahead of us are doing. There was a motorcycle show in the fall there that highlighted some of their custom work and repaints. Hell... I will just attach the link... <

I've watched that one too. So much coolness happening in Thailand. I have learned so much about the Trail 125 (and what it's called elsewhere) and definitely love it. That being said, I didn't see anything in the video that really details how difficult or expensive it is to strip down and paint, but its good inspiration to check out.
