Hello there. Accept into family, please

[Tiger]

Today I became the proud owner of CT 125. I purchased it on japanese auction, payed 5k+ for purchase and delivery to my city
I live in Russia, and my brother lives in Clearwater, Florida. He went to US, when the war started...(

Welcome Tiger, nice to have you join. Good information here and many knowledgeable and friendly ct riders. Enjoy your time on the forums, post questions if you need an answer to any ct issues, these guys can hook you up.

 

[Tchap]

Welcome to the family, Tiger. It looks like you were especially motivated to acquire the ct125! It’s a great little machine. I do hope that you can come over and visit your brother…lots of good riding and places to explore.

hi ya tiger! theses little bikes are an absolute fun time to buzz around on, and good on fuel too!

 

[Tiger]

Thanks for warm welcome!!! Glad to meet Honda CT-lovers!))) Yes, I searched especially THIS bike, because I LOVED it from first view! I already have Super Cub 50 FI, and VFR 800 FI" 2001. But last one tried to kill me twice (haha))), and I see, that my speed limit have to drop down

 

[Tiger]

Sorry if my English can be difficult to understand, I dont use translator every time, try to learn language)))

 

[Tiger]

здравствуйте! (я немного понимаю по русски). Welcome to the forum. I'm amazed you managed to get one in Russia. Do you have long, wide, very smooth roads where you are ?

Aaah, the long train ride. I have friends (almost family) in or near Алтайский край (not entirely sure), and just over the Kazakhstan border. They have the kind of roads where распутица is not as much fun.

 

[Tiger]

My bike arrived today! I am SOOOOOO happy!!! My first almost brand new motorcycle!)))) The battery was discharged (now is charging), but engine works like swiss clock!))) I know, its because Hondaaaaa!

 

[Tiger]

i LOVE this little piece of cuteness!

 

[oldskool]

Cool tiger. I own a Ural as well as the Honda, I am sure you will enjoy not having to give your bike a gentle nudge from time to time to wake her up

 

[Tiger]

Ural is now more famous in US, then in Russia))) That legendary bikes are too expensive for local people)))

 

[BaldRider]

Enjoy your new bike. I'm sure you will!

 

[Tiger]

Oh Thanks!) It is rainy today, and I couldn't ride to work by my new toy

Welcome

Yesterday I made my first trip. So, there are 2 things that I understood: 1. The speed is enough for me, but not enough for the road - the flow is much faster than me. 2. it is not for dirt at all! the front wheel instantly wrapped up the dirt and blocked

The stock tires are awful over any loose or slippery terrain. You'll have much better luck with some trail or trials tires off-road.
