Hello all. I just bought a 2023 CT125 today, so of course I need to join the forum. I just had to get one when I seen the new color last week. I was lucky enough that the shop near my house had one in stock. My son and I have rode it around the neighborhood, it's a smooth rider. It not my first CT, but my first CT125. I have a 68 and a 74 CT90. Also have a project 71 in boxes at the moment. Motorcycles are definitely an addiction, thanks dad. This is my first new bike ever, so the feeling is something else. I plan on eventually changing the tires for something more trail, probably shinko trials tires or the like. I'm wanting to ride it this fall at the Sam Houston National Forest, while my son rides his 87 TW200. Also will be taking it to Barber this October.

Awesome. Is there anywhere fun to ride down your way? I'm kind of limited here in the Galveston area on where to ride. In October, I plan on a camping ride in the national forest before hunting season. I might do a beach ride from High Island to Sabine Pass and back in the future as well.
Ehh, not really, random gravel roads, back county roads with some shade, not much beyond that. One place kind of between us worth checking out is the San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge, it's all gravel through there and there's lots of wildlife to see including gators. Sam Houston National Forest would be worth a trip, lots of dirt forest roads out there to explore. If you get a trail pass you can ride the 80+ miles of two-track and single track out there on the multi-use trails as well but they are quite sandy when it's dry and quite muddy when it's not, they would be pushing it for these little bikes in terms of enjoyment. I've ridden my 200, 300 and 450 Enduro's out there quite often over the past five years but I doubt I'd bother riding the Trail on those tracks, I'd stick to the forest roads.
I used to live in Willis back in the early 90s, and Sam Houston was a 5 minute drive away. We would ride out there on weekends every now and then. If I remember correctly, it used to be you could ride anywhere your skills could take you. Now you need a trail pass, and have to stick to the trails. Oh yeah, it can be very sandy when dry or muddy after rains. I plan on seeing what this little bike is capable of out there. I plan on putting those duro hf307 tires on it soon. This was our last trip back in 2021. I was on the tw200, he was on the xr100.
