    I have a 2022 CT, I went through 2 sets of the 241s and I am currently on my 2nd set of the 244s. I got 5000 miles out of the 241s and 10,000 out of the 244s. (I know I'm a little crazy, I have 22,000 miles on it so far) The ride on pavement with the 244s is awful. but I enjoy this bike so much on the trails. I put a 3.00 on the back and a 2.50 on the front. I can't understand why some people need the front tire the same size. I've never owned a bike that wasn't thinner on the front. and No need to move fenders. But to each his own I guess. Thanks for the vid and Happy Trails!!

    • @tychomoto

      for me, it was purely for aesthetic reasons that I wanted the same size tire on the front. i feel like it gives the bike a more menacing, off-road look. all of my other bikes are fat tire monsters (even my e-bike), so it's just what I'm used to.

      with the stock tires, it was a bona fide 55 mph that i verified with a radar on one of the roads near me. with the shinkos, it's possible the larger radius of the tires is throwing off the speedo, but at least at 30ish mph, it's accurate as verified by the same radar. i also have a TW200, and for that, i really don't know whether i should believe the speedo, because that sometimes says i'm going 65, and i haven't heard anyone say theirs goes that fast.

    Good review! I also miss some extra power now and then, especially in highway scenarios like you pointed out. But the 500CCs does well enough with the speeds where I live. As a beginner bike I think the power band is very approachable and a great platform to build up your own rider confidence. I'm sorry you couldn't get hold of one with ABS - highly recommended and should be standard. It's been an amazing commuter and day-tripper in my experience so far. This summer I'm taking it on a 3000 km moto camping trip, and that will decide if this might be my forever-bike.

    I have a Honda trail 125 and have over 2700 miles on it. I've had it just over a year. It is fun , but has limitations.

      yeah, as i said in the video, i think those limitations can actually lead to more interesting rides. i'm planning on putting bona fide offroad tires on mine soon.

    I just got my 2022 trail 125 a week ago, and I'm so cheesed about it! I can tell I'll own this thing for the rest of my life. I can't wait to see where mine takes me.
