High mileage record?

[RuffedGrouse]

What’s the highest mileage anyone has seen or heard of on the ct125?

 

[Kev250R]

A good question!

These bikes are so relatively new to the market and don't seem to get a lot of daily riding, however one member ( @G19Tony )recently rode his Trail cross-country in the Scooter Cannonball so I'm betting he probably has the highest mileage of anyone on this forum.

I have just over 1,000 miles on my '21 Trail.

There's a cat on the CT125 Facebook page that has over 20000 miles on his.

Yep Mr. Jim over there has the highest I’m tracking. From his reports trouble free

Guy named Parker just passed Jim, currently in Alaska before heading back to the states. Somewhere around 22k now?

Parker mentioned 23,000... all on the same front tire!

Alaska, 2 up, “on that thing!?”

I'm thinking that when you get a chance, you should order up a complete set of wheel bearings and seals to carry with you, given the extra weight...

Damn hoons doing wheelies everywhere.

I've been crippled up with Arthritis lately, so the bike hasn't been ridden much. October in Texas is some of the best weather that we get, and I hope to correct that mileage problem real soon!

I have a 2021 with 700 miles, am I winning? I drive it at least once a year to get it inspected.

 

[RustyRodder]

Parker is (i think) approaching 30k on his now. The topend let go at 28k, needed a new piston/rings/jug. Not bad considering most of that was WOT and overloaded

Was his CT stock, lightly modified or heavily modified?

 

[RustyRodder]

Looks like mechanically stock, minus tires.

Rusty got a link to that post? Last time I checked it was still in one piece, I could be behind the times though edit 3.7. Thanks dmonkey

And just like that, Lt Dan is being refreshened. Parker is a great mechanic. There's not much he can't do. If Lt Dan is to live, Parker will get him...

Various ball bearing failures are one of the things that come up on higher mileage Honda Waves with the same running gear. More involved than a top end but usually not the end of the bike. There's a Wave 125 owner who had a bearing fail on his, got it rebuilt, and is now geared up for an around the world ride attempt.

I have a 2021 CT 125 and I'm at 10k now with zero problems.

 

[SneakyDingo]

Same. 2021, just ticked over 11k. I take photos of my receipts and then update a fuel tracking sheet. This bike has been very good to me. I've had some problems but they're "problems" not problems. Like Honda overfilled the oil in New Mexico; the suspension was softer than I liked; the shift lever was stabilized because it moved more than I wanted it to; the first chain was soft and I replaced it with the sealed chain; the paint is softer than I'd like... the OPMID cluster has a groove worn into it from the rubbing of the brake cable.

But actual mechanical issues? The bike's been great. I think the only niggle I have right now is that the swingarm bushing is probably needing some love for what I really like, but it'll be good for a while longer for sure.

Parker's Honda Trail 125 cleared 30k miles earlier this month.

I think @32k from what I just read

 

[Tex68w]

Yea I wanna say Parker is pushing 33K miles now. One of these days I'll make it to 500 miles

 

[jBIRDt]

4300 miles on my 2021 as I placed in hibernation today
