Go Big and Ride Small

Not with the amount of luggage I carry, and also eating all those French patisserie cakes

I'm seriously impressed at the longevity of the Honda 125 engine!

The lovely Honda SH. Awesome ultra lightweight full size scooter.
While I have no doubt that mileage like this is in the future I don't think we are there yet and suspect a typo.

There's a photo of the speedo showing the mileage.

To get that mileage in that time it’s probably likely it’s been used as a delivery scooter.
I had one for a while, lovely scooter but when heading up to 60mph you need a good screen on as you get hit in the face a fair bit

I was looking on my phone and didn't go through the photos.
That is cool. A 2015 model, so roughly 20k per year, or 55 per day.
I had the 150 version for a while (with screen) . Great scooter.

My last small bike was a 2012 Honda SH125i which I loved, now I have a new to me bike to enjoy some adventures on .

Very nice. Where did you pick it up from? Seven seas or was it already imported?

It originally came from Sevenseas and has been in Nathan Millward's fleet at Dorothy's speed shop so it's well used but in great nick. Nathan ran a charity fundraiser to raise funds for a rider (Rich Rowe) to get some new wheels as he was paralysed in a Motorcycle accident on a tour, so he put a CT125 as an incentive, then an additional two CT125's for 3 winners in total. I was lucky enough to win one of the bikes.

Been out on it for the first time today on a shopping errand after getting it taxed and insured, it runs well, gears seem straightforward (Neutral at the top and 4 down) and it definitely makes you grin. Its a lot smaller frame than my last scooter (a SH125i in 2012).

Looking forward to spring/summer bimbling about on it.

Yes, put some money in that pot for Rich when he first had his accident and then couldn’t help but buy a couple of tickets for the CT125s myself. Bloody good cause.

I was sorely tempted by the CT125 when they first came over here but from all accounts it seems the top speed is around 55 and my Innova does a bit quicker than that and has been more places than a CT125 has thought of
Be a great green laner though, nice and lightweight, good knobbly tyres and easy to paddle when the going gets tough. Be good to see some of your adventures
