I’d love to get way closer to $5,000. I have a deposit at 1 other dealer but they won’t give me a quote until the bike arrives. Hope their price isn’t as high.
STUBBORN paid a lot.
$3899 List price + $100 (2022 price increase)
(even though I placed the $100 deposit 2 years ago.)
Dealer prep $299 (not even 1 gallon of gas)
shipping $300
addendum $169 = free battery charge +
Extra insurance over and above the Geico $70 a year insurance
NH title, license + registration fees $27
document + administrative fees $199
Safety Inspection Sticker?
Total $ 4893
Wait !
There's more!
Derry Tax Collector = Vehicle Tax + Motorcycle Reg Plate & 2023 Decal $92
Geico Motorcycle insurance ($500 deductible) 1 year $70
9 foot steel Motorcycle ramp $239
12 one inch cargo straps $30
total $5324
Cheaper than the $6000 that many people are reporting on
HONDATRAIL125 forum.
First Impression
I sat on the bike and Chris (Nault's salesman) went thru the basic introduction:
ABS light orange, N green light, digital speedometer, dash light on the small round
digital instrument panel, Electric start button, heel & toe shift,
Emergency off button, Fuel injection, no clutch, big seat with
tiny helmet lock, Manual kick start, electric lock and anti theft,
kick stand down = no start, 3 point stand and how to work it,
tiny round toolbox, the tool to open the tool box hidden under the
locking seat, lights work, gas filler under the seat, left, right turn,
front + rear, horn, etc. Two keys. User Manual.
My feet (Toes) just touched the ground with me
sitting on the bike. (Grumble, I am short...)
Bike is wicked high. So it has both an off-road
suspension as well as being street capable speed 40+.
Mileage 1 gallon gas = 100 miles (hmmpf.)
(+ Slowly, rolling downhill, with a trailing back wind.)
The red cargo rack is quite heavy duty and large hence
the reason for this red "postal bike's" high demand.
This is the perfect bike for reconnaissance and for
picking up supplies while staying at camp sights.
I wish this bike was available in green or blue or brown or CARC tan Camo
as in other countries. SIGH. You can have any color you
like as long as it is RED.
