If I were to do something like this, I’d feel better using Honda parts.I’ve seen the video, any ideas on if we can buy it here? I think he used a oem Honda version?
Hi, I hope Honda upgrades the Trail 125 to a Trail 150 for 2022. Rumor that Honda may be releasing a Honda CT 150 Hunter in Japan this June. As for the 150 cc engine, Honda can just choose from its inventory of available engines. And, since the Hunter Cub is already being sold in Japan, Thailand and Indonesia, the easy choice for Honda is to pick the engine being shared now by the CB150R, Supra GTR 150 and the CBR150R. See picture below,
I find this to be a bit surprising. I'm at 7000 feet in Colorado - I'm 6' 5" and weight about 180 as well. Typically hitting 50 and sometimes 55 mph on flatter terrain isn't much of an issue. On some really gnarly climbs, I can lose 10mph - so maybe 40. I don't know what route 112 is like in NH but I have to imagine the elevation isn't as much of a factor so I'm surprised to hear it would struggle as much.I spoke with a new Trail 125 owner in northern NH today. He is only 5 foot 9 - 180 pounds.
The bike reaches over 45 on the road but slows down considerably climbing the
steep NH hills. He could not get over 35 on Route 112 (Kanamangus Highway.)
"Ayuh, thought i was gonna be a hood ornament fer a bit. T'was ascared."
Yup, Agree with you. I heard that you can do 55 as well. The mountain roads in NH were built a long time ago. The grades are very steep. The hairpin turn is posted at 20 mph, and the reinforced guardrails have a lot of scars. People just won't slow down. The fact that you lose 10 mph going up may be a safety concern considering those the speeding drivers. Much more so, they may not be able to stop going down those steep grades.I find this to be a bit surprising. I'm at 7000 feet in Colorado - I'm 6' 5" and weight about 180 as well.

Ya that's a good call. I think my viewpoint is probably a bit askew because I road bike and so being on a motorcycle doesn't feel all that much different - I'm aware what's around but ultimately don't focus on it much and pray drivers make good decisions. Although on the flip side I know the average joe doesn't understand the difference between 50CC, 125CC or 650CC and there's probably a perception there should be no difference.Yup, Agree with you.
