There's nothing like getting out and exploring the wilderness on an old classic Honda trail bike. We parked the car in Ukiah and rode the bikes across the mountain to the California Coast and then up Hwy 1 to the beginning of the Lost Coast Trail. Amazing scenery and wildlife! Beautiful place to camp if you don't mind rustic. A fantastic way to spend 3 days with my awesome son!

There are 2kinds of people who ride little Hondas. The daily commuter & the bike enthusiast who has ridden all kinds of bikes & eventually opt for the iconic little Honda. So cute & so dependable tiny machine with a big heart😀❤👍👍
Now this was an amazing video !! The bikes , the nature , the freedom 😍👍🌲🌳
I grew up in Ukiah in the 50's & 60's. My high school friends and I did that same trip on our Honda CL90's many times. Those little Honda's were then and still are to this day great machines. It's no wonder that Honda has built bikes on that same power plant for going on 60 years.
You must have some amazing memories! There's a reason they call it "the good 'ol days"! Haha!
@@timhiatt8848 In those days Orr Springs Road was dirt from the edge of the Ukiah Valley to Comptche.
I love these bikes so much and hold so much nostalgia I'll buy the new 125 when it hits our shores.
I don't know what's taking Honda so long to come out with a new version of this classic! Hopefully it will be affordably priced.
@@timhiatt8848 Fingers crossed it makes it over here. Seems like there's plenty of interest.
@@timhiatt8848
Yeah, "affordably priced" like all Hondas...
The Hunter Cub looks like the one to get: czcams.com/video/yorwSsGoJac/video.html. Don't think it's in the US yet.
Absolutely freakin awesome, some great views, I'm sure memories too.
Shows you don't need big bikes to do this stuff
Thanks for taking us along 👍
Thanks for watching and sharing!
The one thing better than this is a same video without the music.
1968 a buddy of mine just back from Vietnam and I drove his Honda 250 scrambler and my Honda 150 dream from Burbank up 395 to Oregon over to Pacific Coast and back to Burbank. AND while in Lake Tahoe met two girls on Honda 50s that drove from Saskatchewan, Canada. Adventures on these smaller bikes can be fun and challenging.
Yup small bikes can be fun I rode my Honda dax 70cc for over 100 miles in one day, keeps on running reliably ,even more reliable than my BMW adventure bike
@@gilbertsanchez2568 And more fun in the dirt especially if it falls over - for certain :)
Watching from the Philippines. female rider here. I have Honda 125. Looking forward to an adventure like this once rainy season is over.
Thanks for watching! Hope you have some amazing adventures with your Honda 125!
A beautiful and epic example of true motorcyclists enjoying the hobby and lifestyle.
Quite different than the (ahem) "biker" mentality I see far too often.
It does NOT need to be a Harley.
Thanks for the compliment.
Awesome music! 🤣
Here in Oz, I have a 1985 ex Australia Post CT110. Great little bike. Thanks for posting.
Free Ranger . I am here in OZ as well and have a 1998 postie bike that I am getting ready for the road , can't wait
@@kevinrusso6849 hopefully the restrictions will be lifted soon & we can get out on the road
awesome. God I am jealous!
Thank you for taking us along on your trip! A much needed lift in these tough times.
Thanks for watching!
The perfect apocalypse bike, cost-effective, easy to ride, and maintain - two wheels, is two wheels and this looks like a lot of fun!
I bet you like the look of the new CT125. I do. Stunning scenery.
Thank you. Yeah, that ct125 looks nice!
@@timhiatt8848 Do you think Honda will release it in the EU? From what I've ready they'll only be selling it in Japan :/.
For now Japan only and they are a lot of money! It's too bad. I think Honda did it wrong. Release it to the world and make it affordable
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing your adventure. 👏👏
Thank you for watching!
Looks like a hoot. I've been eyeballing the new Hunter Cub. I just have to get over my "macho" attitude and pull the trigger. Great vid!
Great nature and a well balanced sound mix, which is not always the case on YT. Thanks for your work and sharing.
Thanks so much for the compliments! You're in Keswick?! What an amazing place! I took my family there last year on vacation. We toured around England and Scotland by car. The Lake District was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! I can't wait to go back again and be able to explore more. We live within a couple hours of Yosemite to the east and the California Coast to the west, but I would gladly trade places if I could live in your neck of the woods. Cheers!
@@timhiatt8848 Hi Tim, I'm living in Germany and borrowed the name from my Keswick green Landy 😁 I've been to the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Scottland a couple of times and it's always great to be there, even under freezing winter conditions when the sun is out. All the best, Bernd
Congrats!! What a great trip you had, lovely.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks!
Absolutely love that place! Camped there a few times and enjoyed the magic there. Elk walking into your camp, the stars at night (if the fog stays out), and a place where you can find no crowds at times. Thanks for the memories.
So glad you enjoyed it.
One day I want to do that with my son!!! Looks like so much fun!
Go for it! Unforgettable memories!
Amazing this is why Honda is the number one best selling bike brand in the world....
Great ride guys! I live near Ukiah and love adventuring around the coast areas. i hope to see many more videos from you!
Wow! Lucky you! You live in God's country up there! Thanks for watching.
Very enjoyable video, men! Thanks...
Thanks, Lars
Fun comes in small packages too. Love these videos. Thanks
Thanks!
These are the times, these are the memories that are... priceless .
You're so right!
Now THIS is pure riding! Nothing fancy. Just a bike and a bag or two....
Yeah, "a bike and a bag", I love that!
Beautiful video! Great music! Great fun!
Thank you so much!
Brilliant, thanks for sharing your adventure
Thanks for watching! It really was a blast!
Its so true that you don't need a big bike to have fun. I've had everything from a 50cc Honda Ruckus to a Ninja 250 to a Harley to now a duke 790, but to be honest I had the most fun on my Ruckus =)
So true! Thanks for watching. Happy riding!
Over the last 20 years I've gone from a 1200 to an 800 to a 650 to a 250... looking VERY hard at the new CT125. Wish I could go back in time and not even bother with the over-hyped "Adventure" bike market.
Great video, that looked so fun. Wish I had a son to do that with.
That's some very interesting insight! Here I was wishing I could afford the bigger bikes. Also, your last sentence really made me think how blessed I am! Thanks so much for your comments.
great adventure fellows! love the ole honda trails, my honda 1973 ct90 h/l gearing a real mountain goat.. ...happy trails always....
Thanks!
What a great ride! You two had an awesome time, obviously. I learned motorcycling years ago on a similiar bike in cambodia. Man, we did some great adventures on this tiny things! Thanks for reminding me ;)
Thanks for watching!
I love these roads. I used to ride then all the time. Great video
Thanks
Reminds of what I would do and see, in the SF bay area, back in the 60's on my Hodaka Ace 90. On weekends riding out to the coast and along the mountain range between Woodside and Santa Cruz. Since then all motorized use has been banned. Great to know I can trailer my bike up to Ukiah and re-live it. Although, not on a Hodaka.
Yeah, at least there are still some great places to ride. You just have travel so far to get to them!
Found this video today, you guys made exactly what I was looking for! I just got a ct90 and have been dreaming of a ride like this! Nice work thank you for making this!
Thank you for watching. So glad you enjoyed it.
That’s an awesome bike to go on an adventure! Fun and reliable.
Yep. Thanks for watching.
This is a fabulous video. Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much, David.
Thanks, David! Appreciate your appreciation. ;-)
posting is essential.... It's a postie bike after all :-).......... its good to see there is more to biking than just power ranger leathers and boasting about 0 to 150mph (& casualty) times.... back to REAL biking.
Too funny. I’m considering getting a CT110 and thought of going to Usal just moments ago because I live inFort Bragg. And here is this video. It’s a sign.
Go for it! Wish I could live in that beautiful area!
@@timhiatt8848 just curious why do you need to stay in Oakdale
@@redwood6737
Good question. My job is in Manteca. Unfortunately, I'm not quite able to retire yet.
A beautiful trip man.
Thanks!
Awesome video!!
I have just bought a super cub 110 2020 and came across your video whilst just getting info about the engine, use etc. Wanted new CT125 but long waiting list in Thailand, where they are made and I live. Your video is great through many lenses. Nature, versatility, history of motorcycling, fun, camping, etc. I am already planning an adventure in my head leaving from Bangkok into the wild. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching and for commenting. My son and I would love to do a motorcycle ride through Thailand sometime! You live in a beautiful country!
Great job on this just goes to show a little 90 is the way to go. I now want the new Hunter Cub 125 hopefully coming this summer to the US. Thanks for doing this!!!!!
Yeah, what Honda so long to put this thing back into production.
Absolutely Incredible. So cool!
Thanks for watching and for leaving your nice comment!
Lovely video: I could watch this all day!
Thank you, Jeroen.
That’s really nice, interesting and informative video
Thanks for watching.
What a great video! Inspired me to get my own Honda Postie, but I might wait until the new CT125 gets to the UK!!!!!!
Oh, man! I would love to be able to explore the UK on one of these (or on any bike, for that matter)! We had the chance to visit England and Scotland last year and we just loved it! What a beautiful country! It would be so much fun to drive those roads around the Lake District and around the hills of the Yorkshire Dales on a Honda trail bike!
@@timhiatt8848 I grew up in-between the Lake District & the Yorkshire Dales. Lots of great back roads wonderful places for a small capacity motorcycle. At the time my favorite was a BSA B31 350cc single.
Some of these roads are sheer heaven to be sure. It’s just that there were some that I’d expect a bear or bobcat to just pop out and ruin your day. I can’t deny that that worry/concern certainly would be in the back of my mind if I was on this kind of trip.
I'm sure there are plenty bears and bobcats up there, but I think they would probably be running the other way whenever they hear a motorbike coming. At least that's what I tell myself.
Interesting adventure, nice bikes
Thanks
A great video Adventure I own an older Honda 90 trail bike and my son has a 110 Honda trail bike Villages or towns by country and we love our bikes and mine is definitely perfect for me as I'm in my seventies
Keep ridin'...
Great video. My wife & I did that same adventure, but in a FJ Cruiser.
Smart way to go. I wouldn't want to go in there without a 4-wheel Drive high clearance vehicle. Some of it is pretty rough.
Nice ride! 👍
Yeah, it was great! I'm way overdue for another one.
I live in Redwood Valley. It's good to see local stuff.
Thanks for watching. I'm jealous. I have to drive 4 hours to get there. You get to live there!
What an awesome trip!
Thanks!
i love it..im from boonville/ukiah.. currently living in st louis..possibly moving back to ukiah in a couple months.. cant wait to ride my grom all through the redwoods and on the coast..enjoyed this video...made me miss home for sure...
From the famous town of Boonville? That's awesome! Beautiful country and so close to the coast! Is it true you guys have your own language?
@@timhiatt8848 yes..actually know some hiatt folks as well..family is close friends with some of them.. yes there is a local language boontling but only a few of the old timers i used to know and sit at the redwood drive with my grandma and grandpa knew some of it..the av market has copies of the boontling book...
@@GROMSQUATCH Interesting! Just out of curiosity, were there Hiatts living in Boonville? My family is from Portland, Oregon area.
@@timhiatt8848 yes boonville is where i know them from.. my parents went to school with them in 60s and 70s..and still friends..my brother dated ones daughter in highschool..still a few i know of around there and ukiah...
excellent video on extremely capable proven machines, love it
Thanks! These old Honda trail bikes are the best. I wish I knew how to really work on them. I've got a couple more that I just can't figure out how to get working right.
@@timhiatt8848 I've been hunting a couple here lately, it seems like all the deals have dried up. I may have to beak down and buy a new one, they look like they're a blast
@@CLP2102 I don't know where you are located, but here in the Bay Area and the California Valley there are almost always some Honda CT90's and CT110's on Craigslist. Sometimes the prices are ridiculous, but sometimes you get a good deal. I got these bikes for around $1,100 each.
Incredibly fun
Personally I'd be much happier tackling trails on a bike liked that than a massive adventure bike. Looks like you had a great time. Small bikes, big adventure.
So true! Thanks for watching.
That was awesome! The pure reason the bikes were designed just for an adventure like that. Thanks for sharing. Would you consider showing a map of your route?
SO COOL.
Had a 1968 trail 90 in the 70’s. I rode it into the ground. I am 58 now and riding a KLR650, yet I dream of getting one of these again. Loved your video! It brought back fond memories. The new Hunter Cub seems over priced at 4 to 4.5 k. We used to have a bumper carrier, that bolted to one of those chrome bumpers you never see anymore. I cloud get it on there myself by the time I was 15. With a class 3 hitch and a harbor freight motorcycle hitch carrier, one could take this thing to lots of great places. Some people are dropping in 125 cc engines from China, on eBay. The Hunter Cub looks awesome, too bad Honda can’t find the sweet spot on price, say $2700 OTD.
I totally agree on the price of the Hunter Cub. Looks nice though. My son got that Harbor Freight motorcycle hitch carrier. It works great for the CT110. And a very reasonable price.
If a motor vehicle can ever be called "eco", this is it. Nostalgy.
Yeah, I can ride this thing for hours and spend less than $5.00 on gas.
love it - sadly I still have not found any of these Trails in Austria
Thanks for watching. I bet Austria is an amazing place to explore on motorcycle! I'd love to see it some day.
Making memories that will last you a life time 👍👍
Yep! Thanks for your comment.
That’s a motto to live by
Really nice vid. Looks like you guys had a good time. To make sure you have
more good time always wear your helmet even when just exploring a trail.
Hitting an over hanging tree limb hurts even if it just scalps you. Wear the
helmet.
Thanks for watching. And thanks for the advice.
Excellent- thanks for sharing. Have wanted to ride Sherwood over to Fort Bragg and up to Usal. I'm interested in finding Mendo locals with CTs for group rides.
Your look to be having a great time, bloody fantastic as we say in Aus. I spent a good part of my working life riding CT110's for Aussie Post, great bikes. While the newer Super cubs110cc / 125cc retain the emotional essence of the CT110 they are fuel injected bikes and not as robust, you have to be careful not to overheat them in slow riding situations. Modern fuel-injected bikes run leaner (emissions regulations) than bikes with a carburetor and therefore hotter needing more cooling and being an air-cooled engine, you've got to be careful. I don't know if they can be remapped to run a bit richer or some other mod.
Bernie BNE I see that mods are already available. You can get oil temperature gauges for them, and even oil coolers!
Wow! You actually rode for the world famous Aussie Post that gave the CT's the name Postie! That's so awesome!
@@iamsmok that's really good. They are fine for commuting. Noticeably more powerful than the ct110 & incredibly fuel-efficient. The cooling when going slow and working hard is their Achilles heel.
@@timhiatt8848 for over 25years
I'm an aussie in the uk watching this thinking that these are our postie bikes. Can't buy the old ones over here which I'd a shame!
This was awesome, I've got a Honda 1981 ct70 , done many adventures on it , I'm looking for the ct125 to hit U.S. Real soon
I hope so. Thanks for watching!
Spring is almost here. I have had my little ct110 running but not plated yet. This video makes me considerably less patient.
Haha! Sorry about that!
Looks like it's all about having a fun experience without the bulk , Great , looks like these little machines could take you anywhere.
So true! Thanks for watching.
Nice!!!
Thanks so much!
Great video and pics can't believe there's only 3 likes
Thanks so much, Jimmy. It was a beautiful ride.
Great videos! I take my Honda PCX 150 camping in Thailand - one day I'll post some videos
Thanks. I'd love to see your videos.
I got lost in the mountains of northern Laos, not far from the Chinese border, on a Honda Wave. Not many people up there except for some ethnic group villages..A great adventure.
@@jurgentreue1200 Any videos?
@@beautyofthailand7393,, no sorry. 2010, I was up in that part of Laos documenting (stills) some of the ethnic groups of northern Laos. I never got to finish the project, unfortunately.
pbase.com/jurgentreue/northern_laos&page=all
Wow, you just gave me some great ideas for once the insanity that's currently going on is done. My uncle is in Ukiah. Easy peasy to head out from his place. I'm going to be stuck on a TW200 though. I'd love to find some areas to mix some moto camping in to. Thanks for the vid! :)
You're welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you get to have a fun trip soon.
@J G I just love exploring on smaller CC bikes. For some reason I just have more fun. Probably because I'm going so slow I don't have a choice but to stop and smell the roses! :)
True adventure bike .
Yep!
This was great! Thank you for sharing. I grew up in Willits and spent a lot of time on the coast as a kid. My parents still live there. Now I want to do this ride with my Trail 90 and my dad on his TW200.
Go for it!
I had a Honda Trail 90, it was fun.
So true! Wherever I ride, I run into guys around my age that remember these bikes from their youth.
Hi guys..don't know who you are where you are exactly..but hi from New Zealand..just been looking at the new CT Hunter for some reason and came upon your video. Just what me and a mate want to do on a little bike. Anyway...this is a very late post of course. Hope you are well and the same to anyone who has seen your video. Good luck everyone and take care. When this is over ... just do what we always knew we should have.
Thanks for watching. Hope you guys can have some amazing adventures.
People dont realize how awsome these little bikes were, and those that are still around still are,I had a 90 when I was 13 it would climb anything in low range lol
they make 2020 brand new 125
When do you think the hunter cub will get to CA? I have fond memories of my trial 90!
I used to have a Moto Guzzi California, probably the best cruiser out there. Great bikes if you want to blast down big roads for a long way but I got bored with doing that! Small, light bikes are so much more fun....
Yep! We've been riding on logging roads in the Sierras and come across a huge log blocking the whole road. We just lift the bike over the log and keep going. Can't do that on a big bike!
Awesome!
Thanks. Yeah it was an amazing trip! Somewhere along the way my kick-start pedal fell off. We had to push start my bike from then on. I was surprised how easy it is to start the bike that way even though there's no manual clutch. Can't wait to have our next adventure.
And, thanks for watching!
Just goes to show that you don't need to spend a king's ransom to enjoy M/C camping. I started riding with a Honda 50 back in the day and probably had just as much fun then as when I moved up to Harleys.
So true! Thanks for watching.
Be nice if some of the abandoned & locked roads connecting Usal road & 101 were re-opened. Nice country in there. Moody Road...
Yeah, but we didn't have enough time to even scratch the surface of what roads and trails are open.
NICE！
I really wish that people such as Tim would stop saying that there's Honda trail 90's out there for cheap. I've been in the old trail bike buying game for decades and fair condition, running Honda trail 90's are going for over $3000. The days of finding a barn find trailbike for $200 is long gone. It was long gone in the early 2000's folks. The pandemic has raised the prices of all used small bikes to insane levels. A ratty, old, rusted example of an ST90 locally was going for $1500 and they were firm on their price. Save your money, buy a better made, new, drop shipped Honda clone. like the GY230 Hawk.
This is amazing maybe you should to Thailand
Tong, that would be amazing! My son and I were just talking about wanting to do a trip over there.
First bike was a brand new '72 Honda CB 350 & it hauled my 6'-1 210# Paratrooper ass up to 80 mph.
Awesome
Thanks!
Great go anywhere bikes. Low range to climb anything.
Yep!
Scrambling at its best
Yep! Lots of fun!
question to confirm if someone rides a REAL bike or not....."so how much firewood can your Harley carry?".... if the answer is "don't know" then they are obviously just toy bikers.
Haha!
It's easier to put the firewood in you're rucksack ... improvise adapt overcome
Hello. Great video. Makes me want to hit the tracks now with mine and go camping! Just wondering what brand are the gloves you wear?
I'm sure you're asking about my son's brown leather gloves. They're Hestra Leather Fall Line Gloves. He says they're the best gloves ever!
really cool trip man. Gotta have a CT one day, they're so badass. If you're not familiar you should check out a channel called C90 adventures. Guy takes his 90 around the world, really good stuff.
Yeah, I've seen his videos. Great stuff!
Are you guys a father and son combo? If so that's awesome!!!
Yes, that's my son. I'm blessed to have a son who still enjoys doing stuff with his dad. And yes, it's awesome! Thank you. We don't get to do as much stuff together as we'd like. He's starting his career and lives about 6 hours away now, but we're always trying to think of the next adventure we can go on together. Thanks so much for watching!
@@timhiatt8848 That's amazing!!! You guys are awesome!!! Keep making these videos, they are very wholesome and fun to watch!! Stay safe!
YES
Thanks!
WOW NICE!!!
Thanks, Carlos.
You still have the CT110?
@@carlosescobar6973 Yeah, I actually have several. I have the two in the video that are running. I have another one that is in good condition, but I can't get to run smoothly. It runs really rough whenever you give it more throttle. And I have another one that I haven't been able to get running in several years. (I'm not a mechanic and I just don't know enough to trouble-shoot the issues.)
Thats Awesome too. I looking for one here in my Country.
@@carlosescobar6973 Carlos, just out of curiosity, what country do you live in?
Absolutely beautiful ride man! Stumbled upon this video as I'm considering to buy a CT110, or wait for Honda to maybe sell the upcoming CT125 Hunter in the EU as well maybe next year or 2022, maybe... Seems like an absolutely wonderful little motorcycle! Though where I live there isn't much in the way of trails to ride so I'm not certain if this bike would live a happy life here.
Also what kind of mileage do you get on the CT110?
I haven't actually done a gas mileage calculation, but I'm told you get between 85-100 mpg and I believe it. I can go out and ride for hours and spend about $3.00 or $4.00 in gas!
Seven thumbs up!
Thanks!
👏👍✌️
What model year are these? Whats their top speed? I had a 1968 trail 90 and Im super happy to see its coming back as a 110, but wondered the top speed. Great video...awrsome of you to share your home movies! Great bikes!
These two bikes are a 1980 Honda CT110 and a 1982 Honda CT110. If you google "Honda CT125", you'll see the bike they are coming out with in 2020. Not sure if they are going to sell in the U.S. yet. It looks just like these old Honda trail bikes.
Their top speed isn't much faster than the older OHC 90's, about 50~55 with a tailwind. the newer Hunter Cub is a 125cc bike and has about a hp and a half more, probably not much faster. You can fit a 125cc pitbike engine into the older Trail CT200 and early 1967 trail 90 but you're stuck with a squeaky and easy to bottom out Earl's Link front suspension.
Just buy one of the Hawk 230cc Chinese dropshipped dualsports, they're far more off road capable and their engines are really tough, they will barely make 65 mph. so no CA freeway riding.
