possibly the most amazing bike in the world – I've got a ct110 ag with hi and low range and all though its not the fastest bike in the world, it will go anywhere and everywhere. i ride it a lot in high cold altitudes in the snow and on terrifically steep terrain and I'm yet to meet a bike that copes aswell as this little mountain goat.

one of the greats – Got my first ct100ag 30 years ago, were on dairy farm,other than normal maintenance and every young man riding it , it was still going but rusted out on the mud guards. what a bike. Moved into town and traded my four wheeler for -what i was told one of the last CT110AG 6volts ever made, the sales man said. any way, had for 8years now,for running… Read more ·  1

around the city.Done 35000km now, never missed a beat, had two back tyres and one front. run along the motorway at a good 80k. can do 90 but don't push it.Up hills back to 60km. its fine . bought home two truck battery's on the carrier today, every body was smiling. the wet clutch works so well when changing gears. when got this new bike had it under sealed , still looks like new. Is just the best in city traffic, you can dive in and out and park on the foot path, its not to big to up set the people. plus in nz people think you just another postie, i hope. Only changed spark once, but carry a spare. and something like a tyre pander, for if i get a puncture. Has been well worth it . Was a dear bike to buy cost 4700 dollars. So want to get my moneys worth. so far so good. I do use the high low ratio abit, when taking the dogs for around, Had no troubles.

Honda CT 110 – The humble CT 110 Postie. I thought a lot about what bike I wanted to commute to work on. Sports, dual sport, supermoto, tourer. Turns out that when you get to the nuts and guts of it the postie is all the commuter you'd need. I realised that I will come off this bike. It's going to be knocked over, bumped into and rained on. What bike could… Read more

be cheaper to own and run than this. I work out that if I use $10 a week in fuel i'll be out of pocket less than $1000 per year all told on the road inc rego. Plus it's as cheap as chips to repair and service. Drum brakes, skinny tyres, simple bulletproof electrics, comfy seat, big rear rack. No expensive plastics or computers to go wrong. City traffic is now easy to deal with. Bus lanes and T2/3 here we come. It may not be very manly but under my helmet who cares. I am the stig. Will do 80kph no probs and blitzs at the lights. Not fast but fast enough for get around Sydney traffic. Easy of convenience, initail purchase and ownership costs, fuel efficient, easy to repair, heaps of parts, ergonomics, Not fast or sexy

OK – I have been riding a CBF250 for nine months before I was cut off and went to the ground. (Bike got written off) Thought a CT110 would be a good option while waiting to get my open licence and get the bike I really want. The bike was second hand and felt more like a push bike than motorbike. It made 70kph ok but did not make the 80kph claimed top… Read more

speed, (I'm 80kgs). Once it got past 60kph it was really unstable and felt like I had to adjust it constantly so it wouldn't go off the road. Now to the brakes. It has drum brakes front and back. The second hand dealer took me for a ride (on his own CT110) up the back streets to open them up. (Yea right)He never went faster than 70 either. We turned around and I came close to him so as to over take him (to see if I could go faster than 70kph), but he started turning to pull over (to show me something) and I could not stop with the brakes, and I was too close. So get ready to laugh, I ran into him and we both fell over like a couple of idiots. I had only just bought a new $600 helmet the day before and my head hit the ground making it dangerous to use again. (the quickest $600 I have burnt to date!).

So if any one out there thinks it's a good idea to get a CT110 here is my advice. Don't take a piece of machinery desined to go no faster than 20kph up and down gutters delivering letters, and expect to use it in place of a real motorcycle! My CBF250 was way better. I felt really safe on it even taking steep lean angles,sometimes enough to scrape the pegs.

I know people tour on CT110s and they are known for their reliability and very low running costs. If you plan to go over 60kph, just be careful. Cost, from purchase price to running costs. stability, speed, brakes.
