Just picked up 2 CT125's for my wife and I! After breaking the bank and Beezdeals, the bikes are set up for some rural exploring. Thailand has fantastic roads in general (even better then most of the U.S.) but they can get very narrow in rural areas and then switch to dirt. We think the CT's are prefect for the job. Of course, we have run into roads that I would think might even challenge the CT's...right up until a Thai happily goes about there business plowing up said road on a stock Honda wave from the last decade...in flip flops of course! As a little background, I did a fair bit of riding on bigger bikes 20+ years ago and my wife, who is Thai, has scooter ops in her DNA so she we are both new to CT world. Love this forum, great folks here from what I have seen.
