RE: Honda CT125 Hunter Cub - Guth_imp - 03-24-2020
I'll admit it, when I first looked at the photo of the bike I got a little excited as well — but not in a good way.
It was only when I zoomed in closer on the photo, that I could breathe easier. What I thought was a horrendous full-length RLET turned out to actually be nothing more than a harmless matte-black lever. Phew, the RLET shrine located exactly at the center of the CB1100 Forum Skunkworks secret development annex shall remain a place of tranquility where one can worship in the presence of perfection.
Oh, and fellas — puhleeese! The Super Cub in Pearl Nebula Red is clearly the pick of the bunch here. I'll admit that the two-tone seat definitely gives me pause — after all did we not learn our lesson with the Katana? ([url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=15260&pid=262139#pid262139]As the designer, I know that I sure did!)
Let's face it, the SCub is only shy a set of RLETs and one custom seat away from full-on bacon status.

Wow! A new smilie.

I like it. I like the tan one the best though. But I know it will cost too much to be a quick impulse buy. Dang it.
Cormanus, i saw that bacon, but I figured Guth just used his super powers for it
Of course, now I want some bacon!

Maybe they will offer it in yellow eventually. My first motorcycle ride ever was around six or seven, riding on the back of my uncle’s yellow CT.

You are right! I have 1962 version 50cc (C 55) with the dual rear sprocket (high and low range) that my father in law and I are putting back together. Knobby tires and a high swept exhaust, I am hoping that will be my ride around Barber Vintage this year.

I bought it from a friend's brother who bought it new, sold it to another friend, and just recently bought it back. Also had one of the chrome-framed ones back in the '80s.
I remember reading in Cycle magazine about a guy who rode his trail 90 across the country. I'll have to dig it up.

I think I need to talk with you! I went back and looked, mine has the flat low pipe also... we always wondered if it was a later replacement since all the pics we saw had the high pipe! Thanks for the clarification!!!

Earlier ones came with the low pipe, but all had the dual sprockets, and they didn't come with a front fender. Mine has an aftermarket or accessory chrome front fender, like so many did.
They also came with a wider factory chrome luggage rack that bolted to the smaller painted one, so you can haul back that 12-point buck! Most were taken off because a passenger was more comfortable (relatively speaking) on the smaller rack, or they just got real rusty.
