Other Bikes » The return of the Postie Bike

Honda is bringing back the Trail 90/110, in the form of the Trail 125. Not cheap, though. Here is a cute story that talks about the Australian Postie Bikes as a lead-in to this new model:

IMHO, a better choice than a Vespa

looks like a boat load pointless fun to me.

Back in the day, these things were everywhere in my area of Central PA. I think, looking like a girl's bicycle, enabled spousal approval for numerous husbands.

Here is the Australian version, called the Hunter.

I can remember seeing mid-60s Honda Trail 90 ads with a deer hunter motoring along a trail.

And sometimes with a deer draped over the luggage rack. Those poor Trail 90s - to say nothing of the deer.

I knew two 300-lb brothers that started out on a Trail 90. IIRC, they shared the 90 and there wasn't a bit of damping in the suspension. Pure pogo stick, front, and back.

Here is a short Youtube video showing closeups of the new Honda CT125 Hunter, including an intro with a drone flyover of canola fields in bloom and ending with a few photos of that big red tourist trap rock in the center of Australia. I have heard that it may be a few more months before this model arrives in North America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwLRw7U_yfQ&feature=youtu.be

Here is the latest news regarding the Honda Trail 125 version that will be imported into the U.S. starting in November. The price seems fair, but I bet many Honda dealers will add $$$ to the MSRP as they have done with other new Honda 125 models, at least around here. https://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/20...25-coming-to-us
