Sorry, but to me this little mosquito looks too clunky, too chunky and too clumsy...lacking grace of 125cc that light class should have, the seat is another problem, grandma XXXXXL size.
Matte Fresco Brown looks bit better than the red one.

I just don't know if I can trust the aesthetic opinion of an anti-RLET rider! : )
Nah, I guess I see what you're saying, it does look a bit cluttered, but I still kinda like it. I think the first person to call it ugly as I was riding it would make me love it.
you would have had to be a Honda fan in the early 60s when the CT series of bikes was popular to appreciate this. Hunter, campers, farmers beat those little bikes to death and they just kept on running. One of tbe main reasons Honda has the reputation for reliability it does.
This has an automatic clutch, so only one RLET.
Ferret's right.
There's a video somewhere of a bloke who drained the oil out of his beat CT90 and replaced it with used fryer oil from the local burger joint. The exhaust smelled of french fries but the bike ran just fine. He then hurled the bike off a four-story building and it started right up (though it was obviously unrideable at that point.)
Edit: Here's the video (Honda Cub, not CT90, but you get the idea):

Didn’t the originals have a dual range(high/low) transmission? I don’t see that mentioned in regards to the new model. That option would really get me interested in using it as a trail bike in our hilly terrain. Considering the small engine size that would really add to the flexibility of the platform.
No dual-range transmission. And no folding/rotating handlebars. But it looks like it'll have a main stand and rear footpegs. The right side rear peg looks extra-long to clear the exhaust. Wish it had a hand clutch though.
The bike shown looks a lot like the CT110, known in Australia as the 'postie' a bike used by Australia Pos for delivering our mail.
The 'postie' is fondly regarded in Australia and people do all sorts of things—including hardcore rides across the desert—on them. I found a video of the Postie GP.
