Hey everyone,
A bit of history...
Back in the 80s, the first thing that I rode was the below so called "Motorynka" which was an eastern European version of the CT50.
We could never own one due to the money situation back then but I did pay guy couple bucks here and there just to ride it when I was about `10 or so.
Couple years later I ended up emigrating to USA in the early 90s. Fast forward 13 years and I ended up getting a Honda CBR600RR as everyone in my circle was riding street bikes.
I rode that for over a decade but due to life in general and other interests, I ended not riding every season and almost not at all in the last 3 years.
This all changed when sometime at the end of 2020 you tube suggested a channel called c90adventures. I was hooked right away, never did I go off road with a motorcycle and it just looked like a lot of fun.
The next thing I did was start looking for a similar bike that I can have fun on that was reliable and small just like Ed's C90. I Found the CT125 right away and after watching some review videos, that is exactly what I wanted.
Over the next year and a half, I introduced my fam to the bike and started calling dealers/puttting my name on the wait lists. It wasn't until January of this year that a nice dealer let me know there was one on the way with no buyer yet. I said yes right away and 3 months later I drove about 8hrs both ways to get my CT125. When I sat on it at the dealer, I was genuinely surprised that I liked it right away. I did not even ride it until I got home.
I'm already at 750 miles. The MPG is great on the street, I never thought I'd be riding a moto this much again. If its not raining I'm on it. It has revitalized riding for me again.
Currently waiting on some accessories and things to take this on the first moto camping trip hopefully by the end of this month.
Cheers
