Thinking about buying a Honda Trail 125, aka the Honda CT125, aka the modern postie bike? Then you need to get over to rtwpaul’s YouTube channel, and see the helpful information he’s sharing there.

If you’ve been paying attention to ADVrider over the past year, you know rtwpaul put together an excellent series about his trip aboard a Honda Trail 125 through the 48 continental states. We ran his four-part series here at ADVrider over the summer of 2022 (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4). Since then, he’s shared the things he learned along the way—see his Small Bike Survival Guide here.

Should I buy one and why?

If you can find one—hell yeah, they are fun! Have a new experience on a motorcycle; it’ll bring back your childhood.

Get past the stigma of riding something so small and underpowered and go and explore tiny backroads you might never normally ride. See things you might have missed before because you were going way faster. Give yourself a new challenge. Save money on fuel!
