A very good friend of mine, Desert Todd and I took our bikes on the Monache Jeep Trail. Cool damp temps made for a dust free ride. Lots of pretty scenery and a fun trail to ride.
We swapped bikes part way through to compare the CT125 to the CT110. When I got on the 110, the first thing I noticed was the seat, it felt soft and comfy compared to the 125. After riding the 110 I will be looking for a softer seat. Every time I sit on the 125 now it feels to hard.
The second observation was the shorter distance between the seat and the foot pegs on the 110. The 110 feels like you are scrunched up. The 125 feels more comfortable and natural.
The suspension on the 125 is much improved, which made for a little less jarring ride on the steep rocky part.
I did gear down my bike with a 45 tooth rear sprocket and I am glad I did. With the stock gearing I would have had to walk the bike up some parts of the trail(HONDA ARE YOU LISTENING) I have a 44 tooth on order and I think it will still be low enough and reduce the RPM a little. The 110 did need to go in low range to climb parts of the trail.
