I am looking to buy another CT125 soon. I sold my unregistered one to rtwpaul last year and he is coming soon to Tellico Plains TN soon on his around the USA ride so I hope to see him there.
Tellico is just over the Cherohala Skyway from our summer place close to Robbinsville TN.
Went into local dealer in Stuart Fl. last Friday. They had one on the showroom floor. Went back this week & bought it. # 337. Will have to get more acquainted with the heel/toe shifter, but overall happy.

I rode it today and froze but had a lot of fun. I went through some trails I probably wasn't legal to be on.
You got lost,that is what is for.Get lost somewhere else next ride and you won't be annoying anybody. Also,less likely to get caught,if you were deliberate in your mistake.Go SLO and you wont disturb the WILDLIFE, cause dat would be you, WILDTHANG.

Bend that stupid thing out of the way,and move shift lever one notch on spline. I hated it,and could not ride it safely until I made that mod.

Spoke to my dealer today about the situation with my deposit, and possibly moving it over to a '23 and just waiting out the winter instead of getting one of the last '22s, and barely being able to use it until spring. Dealer said the deposit will get me "Whatever Trail comes in first, regardless of year". I was originally told they'd likely be able to order more Trails in August or September. September ends in 2 days so that seems unlikely. At this point I'm keen to try to hold out for a '23 to get the engine/gearing and other small changes. What is everyone else's deposit situation?

I am in the same boat as you. When did you order your bike? I ordered mine beginning of July. We don't know if there will be any changes yet for the USA bikes.

Ordered mine in July as well. Definitely no confirmation that any changes are coming to the US, but at this point I'm not holding out hope for getting one anytime soon which likely means '23 anyway. Might as well wait a touch longer, and hope that means I can get the changes as well.

I have one on order, but 'it could be this week, it could be mid november'

I got a call that they had it in for me, but I was out of town for work. Didnt think to wire them the money, so it went to the next guy. If i get a 23, so be it, but at this point it seems that the only real differences will be the rack, rear shocks, and Euro5 engine (which if I go 143cc cylinder, oh well).

Went last Friday to a local Honda dealer in St. Louis who told me that I was #5 on the waiting list and that it would probably be after the new year before I got one. Came home, looked at cycletrader, saw one in Kansas City, called them up (said they got it the night before), and bought it over the phone. Drove to pick it up Tuesday! $500 over MSRP>
Picked mine up today, $4,200 + sales tax + license

Another local dealer posted new 2022's on Facebook, so I went and got one- 4424 out the door, and they had 3 more that werent claimed yet (Norths Services, Lennox MA).

They had no news on 2023's, nor any idea how many more 2022's they would get. Bird in the hand, and all that.

Saw a 2022 model at Honda dealer in Wisconsin today priced at $5,500 plus tax and license. Dealer wasn’t moving off that price

Wild what some are asking- One other localish dealer had one that I emailed, wanted 5650 after fees. The dealer I initially have a deposit with was at 5085. I havent refunded that deposit yet, in case the 23's end up coming out grossly different.

It’s November, I’d guess the details of the 23’s would be out if grossly different. My $.02

Welp, exactly what I thought would happen happened. Just got the call from the dealer, on the coldest day of the year so far and just two days after our first snowfall, to say that they likely have a Trail coming in within the week that I can claim. Very cool. I may honestly ask them to winterize the bike, and just throw it in the shed or my basement for the winter. The last thing I want to do is learn to ride on icy roads.

Excited to finally get the bike, but somehow I just knew it would arrive in the dead of winter lol.

Hey M, I meant to tell you I got mine back from the shop right before Thanksgiving.... I just walked in and they said "Oh its ready!". Unfortunately, its been mostly crap weather so I havent gotten much riding in outside of the neighborhood. Hope you are good and Merry Christmas! They did reset the odometer for some reason, oh well.
