Hello. I am in the UK and (not very) patiently waiting for my green CT125 to ship in from Thailand. I should finally get it, registered and on the road in April. Can't wait. Meanwhile I am wondering how many CT's have made it to the UK. I have never seen one in the flesh, but I know there are some here. It could be a very exclusive UK Owners Club. I would be interested to hear from any other UK owners and share their experiences and see any photos......Anybody out there?

How many CT's in the UK?

Got twins arriving April... 
Now that is exciting. I expect they are sharing the journey with mine, also expected (early) April. At least we have not had to wait 9 months. I am thinking there should be a UK Meet for CT owners sometime. It would be great to terrorise a small coastal town somewhere one weekend with a swarm of CT's! I wonder what they would sound like ripping up the beachfront on Sunday morning?

I'm not sure that two would count as a swarm but as soon as I'm able I'll get footage from Douglas promenade and post it. Otherwise I'll have to get the boat over and head for Blackpool.

I did have a similar thought but the average lap speed around the mountain course in 1920 was 55.62 mph... That said there should be a Super Cub and a Hunter Cub record set and recorded as soon as possible.

Once the Manannan is running into Liverpool again this Spring we'll have to organise the Inaugural GB CT125 Owners Club Run.

At least 2 more now for certain, just received confirmation from the importers.
Ray, you got an email from Sharon?

Just signed up and would like to join the crew. I am excited ans have been binge watching videos but wondering are there UK dealers? Who is Sharon? Is it rude to ask how much cost each of you gents and ladies?
I am not well acquainted with the bike world and lots of things of the forum go over my head, in fact i dont know what a spark plug does yet!

Evening Mezza,
Sadly there are currently no official UK dealers as Honda don't bring this model into Europe and still don't have plans to do so. A company called Seven Seas Motors were importing them directly from Thailand but have now stopped and are concentrating on their core business. Sharon works at 7Cs and is very helpful and totally lovely.
I believe someone on the Isle of Wight is importing some but you have to sort out your own sva and registration, not the easiest of tasks but not impossible. either.
Other sources of information and potentially bikes themselves are the FB groups...

These will give you more UK information.
One thing to be very aware of because of the scarcity and demand for these little bikes the scammers are about. Triple check anyone offering bikes for sale and remember if it's too go to be true then it probably is.
When it comes down to buying a Hunter Cub don't expect to see change from £5000.00 but that should be on the road, certified for the UK, taxed and registered.
In the region of £4000.00 will get you a bike but like I said the paperwork will all be down to you.
I paid £5k a piece for mine before delivery. I think it was worth every penny as they are a lot of fun.
You could go to Honda and spend a lot less though for one of their other 125 mini motors, Monkey, Grom or a Cub. It really comes down to how badly you want one and how much you're prepared to pay.
I love my Hunter Cub but I also love my Super Cub and they compliment each other beautifully.
On a final note, welcome to the forum and i hope that you are able to find what you want. Try and try as many different types of motorcycle as you can if you're new to the game.
P.S. A spark plug is a small ceramic and metal device that is part of the ignition system, it provides the spark which ignites the fuel air mix that results in a lot of us having large stupid grins on our faces when the throttle grip is twisted.
P.P.S sorry for the overly long reply.

I have an older, 1978, CT90, US import. Basically the same looking and set up as the new 125.
Wish it had the bigger engine. I would buy a new one if UK dealers had them.
Mine struggles on steep hills, I'm sure it should go better though I've looked at all the obvious, timing, valves, bore, rings carb etc and only found minor things needing adjustment that has only made a slight improvement, rather frustrating as it goes well on normal roads.

Hi, Can I ask how much it is costing and where are you sourcing it? Thanks, Chris
