The stock version like the monkey and Dax are to slow..... They should have done a upgrade with the five speed to at least 17 HP than it was the best fun bike ever ! I have a 2019 monkey and did 22000 KM and love it, but with a little wind oooh dear lord its just a moped😱
I would have liked to have heard how much the performance had improved, top speed , BHP, Torque and how much all these mods cost etc . I feel like I have only heard half the story.
125 typically gets a whopping 9.7hp with that kit installed I've heard the increase is a additional 15-20hp which could give that bike 30+hp potentially and a 5 speed transmission added i bet you could take that bike from a top speed of 55mph to more like 75mph so now it will go highway speeds
@@ironsoul80sadly that new 5spd trans has the same gearing in 5th as the stock did in 4th.... you just have more acceleration due to the spacing of the gears....a rear sprocket change though would most certainly get you at least up to 70mph with the additional power.
Nice! That's what these little things are perfect for and really make getting out and exploring even more fun. Appreciate it! That's why I try to get my hands on bikes like this, so you guys can see what's possible... if you want to crack open that wallet of course lol!
Yes, all the love for this new version must be coming from people who never had a 110. No matter what Honda or anyone else does to this bike it will always be a significant downgrade from the original without it.
You hit the nail on the head bud! It's easy to go overboard on these bikes and just throw everything at the moon on them but this is a nice, clean build for sure and another homerun to roll out of The Speed Shop! Now, I just need to hit the lotto for a similar build lol!
To say this is awesome would be the downplay of the year. I always love what some people come up with. The trail 125 is one of those bike that we Canadian don't get to enjoy... Yet. Hey HPK, mind meeting me at the boarder and if you could just lob one over, that would be GREAT!
Yessir, you hit the nail on the head there! Same here, especially with some of these mini bikes as people go ham on them and seeing what some of the possibilities are is just too cool. I just need to hit the lotto so I can go ham with about 10 of these minis and maybe throw one over the border for ya lol ;) Fingers crossed with its latest round of emissions updates it'll finally make the trek over to Canada, Europe etc as you guys have really gotten the shaft on not getting this bike. If only we lived in a world where you could buy any new Honda that rolls off the production line, instead of this whole "this country gets this, that country gets that" crap that we have now. Maaaan oh man would that be awesome as Honda makes some cool stuff that most people have no idea about, since it's not imported into their home country and they're not on the internet digging around to see what else might be out there. I could ramble on about all of that for an hour but we won't go there as I'm already rambling on lol, appreciate ya watching bud ;)
Only rear wheel drive 2 wheeler I find totally amazing as new 2023 and worth the price. Be nice to see Honda fully fit out this item and save their USA Dealership Network as well.
This is exactly like back in the day with the old Honda hatchbacks from the 90s. Cheap (but great) car with more mods into it than doubled the car's value. I love it 😆
lol maaaan oh man does that hit close to home as someone that has modified way too many old Honda hatchbacks from back in the day! And you couldn't be more spot on with that analogy with these little mini bikes.
That's absolutely CRAZY! It's a shame so many dealers are gouging people like that and taking the fun right out of buying a new toy, which is supposed to be fun. Congrats on the DRZ though, one of the best platforms out there!
My last dual sport gave me the choice of drz or klr 250. I parked that 250 thirty miles from the store and 8 hours later it was ripped off. I still think someone at the dealership told someone and they got it.
My first bike was a Honda CT 70. Got a set of keys in a small box for Christmas when I was eleven. My neighbor owned two Honda shops and bored it out. I could pop wheelies with a twist of the wrist. An angry old man kept calling the cops on me every time I would go ridding on the giant field across the street. Ended up arrested and had to get rid of the bike. Still the best present I have ever gotten in my life.
These are perfect bikes for beginners and also kids going to college and then to put on your camper when you go camping they are absolutely the perfect machine
1st let me say I love your channel I was waiting for this review but she dropped the ball man you didn't tell us how fast a new bike with the 181 and it goes we got to know how fast the big bore kit gets it have a Is great day
Appreciate the kind words and support! He's still breaking the engine in as it's a brand-new bike and new build too so I didn't dive too much into trying to figure out top speeds etc but maybe we'll link back up in the near future and get some shots of it in action to show how fast it accelerates, top speeds and all of that fun stuff ;)
Appreciate it bud! I know I'm not the most entertaining person to listen to so I try to throw some clips in there to hopefully make someone crack a smile. I just wish I knew when they actually worked on people or if it was a flop of a joke lol!
I love the bike but disappointed that this did not come from Honda. Congrats to the builder of the bike it looks so cool. I wish I could have one off the floor. Specially the exhaust that looks sweet.
Absolutely awesome build thanks so much for the share. Even though I’m in my senior years one of my biggest requirements in bikes is they have to be more fun than anything else and I got a feeling this thing would scream fun. Great job all round. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks a million bud, really appreciate the support and kind words! ...and oh yeah, she's a beauty for sure! lol same here! It's amazing what the algorithm can do when my regular viewers show a lot of love towards a video and then RUclips starts to serve it out to more and more eyeballs as a "recommended" video. Now if only I can keep that kind of view count coming, or close to it and all of this will be sustainable. I've got a few more months worth of savings and things to sell to keep this train chugging along, fingers crossed it works out so I can keep making videos about what I love and sharing it with you guys!
100%! Same here, it's amazing what tires alone can do! I'd love to see a Fat Cat style build out of one of these, it might look a little odd but then again, it might look pretty flippin cool!
lol ya know, I'm just glad to see I'm not the only one amused by some of them ;) Some people don't care for those little bits but it breaks up the monotony of editing when I can try to crack myself up a bit and hopefully someone else finds a hint of humor in it as well. I love feedback so thank you for sharing that and for the kind words as well as support, much appreciated!
Man that classic Japanese Over Racing exhaust is killer 👌 I almost sourced one for my Honda CBR1100XX but ended up with a much rarer, still Japanese, Technical Sports Racing (TSR) full titanium exhaust. Over Racing makes sick parts though, especially their classic stuff.
Oh yeah, installing them without a lot of experience can definitely lead to some potential headaches! Wayne over at The Speed Shop has done countless builds like that and some absolutely wild horsepower setups so I'd give him a shout. If you're bored, here's a few of his Monkey builds I've shot in the past with some mild and rather wild setups: ☆ ruclips.net/video/X0XXBGpxnYY/видео.html ☆ ruclips.net/video/X0SushVTI2g/видео.html ☆ ruclips.net/video/902yhg9mq64/видео.html
Oh man 🏍! I’m in. I know the Porsche blue so well I can see it with my eyes closed. That bike re-do is the bomb 💣. I would love 💗 to have one. I tried to order a new Honda 500 CBR from the local dealer and they’ve only received 1 bike, a 1000cc cruiser or something because of the supply chain parts issues so far this year. I would much rather have that tricked out Trail bike. I can ride my Ninja on the road but it won’t do what that fabulous little bike will do. Thanks for sharing. 👍☮️🌞❤️
Good day to you. I am a senior rider on HONDA from Japan. Enjoying touring ,camping and video uploading. This is so nice video Awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing! Full supported ! Have a nice day my friend!!
I was really disappointed to discover this is a custom build and not an upgraded factory offering. It is a very nice-looking bike though and the modifications look well-built and compliment the factory design.
With the cost of all expensive Takegawa, Kitaco part i can make it to 246cc with machine shop made 68mm piston, 68mm stroker, big 2 or 4 valve head, also 5 speed or 6 speed can too. Here in South East Asia already does a lot of customized engine of 100cc and 125cc Honda Cub. Just search on youtube "4v 66/5" you'll see a lot of Thailand people do customized 125cc engine
Absolutely incredible. I had no idea the complexity of the upgrades you can do to one of these simple, cheap motorcycles. I'm also blown away by that custom ECU. Can someone please tell me how much horsepower the engine makes after this engine swap and all the mods?
i love it but i cant seem to find anything on how long the new engine last. how many miles they can last. i dont want to spend 5k or more to only last 1000 miles.
@@HondaProKevin Greetings Kevin. Is this a unit that will be offered? I have been pricing the Royal enfield scram and Himi here in Las Vegas where off road riding is plentiful. Enthusiasts such as myself searching for my 6th Enduro do not need to wheelie through the neighborhoods anymore. Loved the review and would like to see these Hondas offered out here. Thank you.
Oh yeah, that blue is absolutely B-E-A-UTIFUL and maaaan oh man was it beyond difficult to capture its true color on camera, without the rest of the shot being too light or dark etc. Definitely testing my limited skillset with a camera and its settings lol! Thank you! Appreciate the kind words and support as always, Jim ;)
@@HondaProKevin When I go to car shows I see photographer use a gray or white piece of cardboard, maybe that would help the camera get the correct hue.
I'm sorry but I didn't dive into the price tag on this bike with the owner or builder as that can open up a can of worms that if I'm being honest, I don't want to open. It's a lose lose situation in my opinion. Why? Well, if I said it cost $2k or $5k - there's going to be a TON of people saying how dumb this or that was to spend that kind of $$ etc. Whereas if I don't discuss numbers, then there's no controversy and if someone wants to discuss a build and its price tag, the builder's contact info is in the description. If the builder / owners want to discuss pricing and don't care if I share, then I'll share. I know that's not the answer a lot of you want to hear but hope you understand where I'm coming from ;)
If you have a small bore Honda get it to Wyane at the Speed shop in Georgia he will make your bike super fun to ride I have 2 monkeys that he’s built and they are way more fun now
It's nice to see a Honda not dressed in plastic. All the mods are necessary for today's traffic. Exceptional build that should be available at your local dealer.
Love this build. Gives the trail the slight boost on hp it needs. What I’m wondering though is how the new engine affects the mpg. I might try to do this myself and I love the trails high mpg, so I don’t want it to get too low, especially with it’s small fuel tank.
lol right! It's easy to go bankrupt real quick with these things if you really want to go ham with customizing them. Thankfully you don't have to go crazy to have fun with modifying them though ;)
Very nice build. If Honda did it first, then this would have been a Trail 225 in Lambo yellow video. It would also cost double the price of a real factory model bike with a warranty. I'm not saying it isn't cool and nicely well done.
Maybe it's my earphones, but I couldn't tell any significant difference in the exhaust note. I guess you had to be there. Also, no mention of fuel consumption for the modified versus factory rig. I'm betting the range of this modified bike has been significantly reduced unless they also increased the fuel capacity, although no mention of fuel capacity was mentioned.
Would have been nice to know performance difference---hp, torque, speed etc.plus what is the cost. you really said a lot with out giving any real information.
The big bore kit is $3,000 just for the parts. Why not just buy a CRF300 Rally? Considering the cost of these mods, you would have plenty left over for a crash bar and accessory lights.
I had the stock CT125. I'm not sure I would have wanted to go any faster. It was tiring having the wind on your legs at speed. A fairing sure helps with this. It was a fun bike and it was my first bike, but honestly buying the CB500X was a huge step up and a lot more enjoyable to ride.
I like the bike, but that pipe locks it to the street 😢. Nice job on the video. My prediction is that with editing and content like this, the channel is going to grow big. Merry Christmas

Lol
I sure did. I swear I’m happy for the owner…
Same I was like: oh my goodness they brought back the trail series with a vengeance! Nice bike, shame it's not new from honda
Same I thought i was going to get a sweet new bike!! Damn Honda give us a trail 200!!
Can’t get over this guys voice. Every word is the last word of a question.
I would have liked to have heard how much the performance had improved, top speed , BHP, Torque and how much all these mods cost etc . I feel like I have only heard half the story.
Yes why do an engine build and not show the performance or HP differences?
125 typically gets a whopping 9.7hp with that kit installed I've heard the increase is a additional 15-20hp which could give that bike 30+hp potentially and a 5 speed transmission added i bet you could take that bike from a top speed of 55mph to more like 75mph so now it will go highway speeds

Thank you for saving me time I won't bother watching the rest of the video if there's no specifications
AND how much was all this......price of the bike again I'll bet.
I bought a CT125 to use when I am out camping. For my needs it is just fine. But, now you are talking with this build! That is cool.

Yes, all the love for this new version must be coming from people who never had a 110. No matter what Honda or anyone else does to this bike it will always be a significant downgrade from the original without it.
That bike is killer!🔥🔥🔥 color looks awesome, all the accessories compliment it, nothing is "too much". Great build!💯

The traditional Honda 90 colors would make it a sleeper.
Yes, the stock red color is much better than whatever blue that is... But a great build.
Really hope the original style of the exhaust stayed or at least put a larger similar style exhaust cover on it. Other than that, looks pretty nice 👌.
🚧 Please leave a comment and throw a like on the video for the algorithm... It helps more than you know!
Thanks as always for the support guys!
No trani lever to have that extra low geared transmission? No thanks.
Very well done! I love that cool kind of babyish blue.
Wow 58L top box as well?! That’s the biggest I know of you can buy! I think Charlie Borman needs to do another Long Way Down on this!
Just bought one, a -23 yellow color. Superhappy..!
My son bought one of these two weeks ago in a bright orange red!
Oh man 🏍! I’m in. I know the Porsche blue so well I can see it with my eyes closed. That bike re-do is the bomb 💣. I would love 💗 to have one. I tried to order a new Honda 500 CBR from the local dealer and they’ve only received 1 bike, a 1000cc cruiser or something because of the supply chain parts issues so far this year. I would much rather have that tricked out Trail bike. I can ride my Ninja on the road but it won’t do what that fabulous little bike will do. Thanks for sharing. 👍☮️🌞❤️
Nice! I have almost the same combo of engine and mods on my 2019 Grom.
Love those Trail 125! 👌🏽
Is the five speed a bolt on for the Honda?
Good day to you.
I am a senior rider on HONDA from Japan.
Enjoying touring ,camping and video uploading.
This is so nice video
Awesome!!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Full supported !
Have a nice day my friend!!
I was really disappointed to discover this is a custom build and not an upgraded factory offering. It is a very nice-looking bike though and the modifications look well-built and compliment the factory design.
Oh yeah, it'd be cool to see Honda offer up a factory upgraded unit like this!
So its got extra lights added for more light output but then the lights are tinted.
now this 181cc is talking!! this is great resolution for real adventure mini bike
Super little custom. It would be great in the UK with out overcrowded and potholed roads.
With the cost of all expensive Takegawa, Kitaco part i can make it to 246cc with machine shop made 68mm piston, 68mm stroker, big 2 or 4 valve head, also 5 speed or 6 speed can too.
Here in South East Asia already does a lot of customized engine of 100cc and 125cc Honda Cub.
Just search on youtube "4v 66/5" you'll see a lot of Thailand people do customized 125cc engine
Absolutely incredible. I had no idea the complexity of the upgrades you can do to one of these simple, cheap motorcycles. I'm also blown away by that custom ECU. Can someone please tell me how much horsepower the engine makes after this engine swap and all the mods?
alot a real alot. Have a great day
All it takes is money… how fast you wanna go??? 😎
The mods cost more than the original bike price 😢
Cheap? $7k for a 125 that can’t go on the highway unless you have a death wish? Try finding one for under $7k.
@@jeromebullard6123what are you crazy? They're under 4k all day everywhere, a simple Google search will find dozens of them new and a few used.
I saw a prelude in the background, honda family! 💪
Deamn, love how quiet it is.
Wow that 🔵💙 blue bike is quality tyres spots nice job . I don't mind paying for something like this good .
i love it but i cant seem to find anything on how long the new engine last. how many miles they can last. i dont want to spend 5k or more to only last 1000 miles.
1000th Like!!! Amazing yet simple.
Appreciate the support!
It's been interesting to see how many people like the build and can appreciate what went into it etc versus the latter.
@@HondaProKevin Greetings Kevin.
Is this a unit that will be offered? I have been pricing the Royal enfield scram and Himi here in Las Vegas where off road riding is plentiful. Enthusiasts such as myself searching for my 6th Enduro do not need to wheelie through the neighborhoods anymore. Loved the review and would like to see these Hondas offered out here. Thank you.
Love it! 181 CCs is perfect! I was riding Hondas when the Beach boys came out with that song in 1968. I was 16. How much, 8k?
1:50 pst. How much do they go for ,nice CT 125
Did I miss it? What did all those upgrades cost in the end and would it be worth it?
That blue hue has caught my eye, beautiful. Great video thanks again.
Oh yeah, that blue is absolutely B-E-A-UTIFUL and maaaan oh man was it beyond difficult to capture its true color on camera, without the rest of the shot being too light or dark etc. Definitely testing my limited skillset with a camera and its settings lol!
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words and support as always, Jim ;)
@@HondaProKevin When I go to car shows I see photographer use a gray or white piece of cardboard, maybe that would help the camera get the correct hue.
so a 12k mini bike?
Where the heck can I buy a trail125 hunter cub with those amber lights and aggressive tires etc?!!
That's a great looking mini-bike with go anywhere ability. I would rock something like that to do did deliver apps with!
Honda needs to up their game and reintroduce the dual range transmission on that bike.
So Enlighten us how much does it cost to put all these added feature on to the bike? I want to hear some cost dollar amounts. How much does it cost?
I'm sorry but I didn't dive into the price tag on this bike with the owner or builder as that can open up a can of worms that if I'm being honest, I don't want to open. It's a lose lose situation in my opinion.
Why? Well, if I said it cost $2k or $5k - there's going to be a TON of people saying how dumb this or that was to spend that kind of $$ etc. Whereas if I don't discuss numbers, then there's no controversy and if someone wants to discuss a build and its price tag, the builder's contact info is in the description.
If the builder / owners want to discuss pricing and don't care if I share, then I'll share. I know that's not the answer a lot of you want to hear but hope you understand where I'm coming from ;)
Koguma and Reiko definitely watched this
Cmon Kevin. What was the total build cost?
If you have a small bore Honda get it to Wyane at the Speed shop in Georgia he will make your bike super fun to ride I have 2 monkeys that he’s built and they are way more fun now
So freakin awesome , bring it big time to a CT! All the right stuff with a 5 speed daddy want!
lol yeaaah buddy!
It finishes when I am expecting to hear someone tell me what it is like on the road!! What is the new top speed?
Very nice Honda Trail 181! 💯
sweet looking bike now that i have mine, my neighbors want one
all those mods but what about suspension?
That may be what he's working on next as it's back down at The Speed Shop for some more upgrades.
Thank God I will buy one for myself
What’s off if the MPG and price at this builder and stuff like that on it?
It's nice to see a Honda not dressed in plastic. All the mods are necessary for today's traffic. Exceptional build that should be available at your local dealer.
Love this build. Gives the trail the slight boost on hp it needs. What I’m wondering though is how the new engine affects the mpg. I might try to do this myself and I love the trails high mpg, so I don’t want it to get too low, especially with it’s small fuel tank.
This will be the video I refer to for when I want to upgrade my trail 125 when I get it. Thank your sir, I'm now going bankrupt😂✌️
lol right! It's easy to go bankrupt real quick with these things if you really want to go ham with customizing them. Thankfully you don't have to go crazy to have fun with modifying them though ;)
Very nice build. If Honda did it first, then this would have been a Trail 225 in Lambo yellow video. It would also cost double the price of a real factory model bike with a warranty. I'm not saying it isn't cool and nicely well done.
Maybe it's my earphones, but I couldn't tell any significant difference in the exhaust note. I guess you had to be there. Also, no mention of fuel consumption for the modified versus factory rig. I'm betting the range of this modified bike has been significantly reduced unless they also increased the fuel capacity, although no mention of fuel capacity was mentioned.
How many HP does it make?
Is that lovely ti exhaust pipe hanging naked below the frame ?
Would have been nice to know performance difference---hp, torque, speed etc.plus what is the cost. you really said a lot with out giving any real information.
The big bore kit is $3,000 just for the parts. Why not just buy a CRF300 Rally? Considering the cost of these mods, you would have plenty left over for a crash bar and accessory lights.
Ohlins rear fully adjustable shocks would rock it.
Just like the CT125, the PG-1 cannot be had in the US. I do not want to wait two to three years before I see one on the west coast
I had the stock CT125. I'm not sure I would have wanted to go any faster. It was tiring having the wind on your legs at speed. A fairing sure helps with this. It was a fun bike and it was my first bike, but honestly buying the CB500X was a huge step up and a lot more enjoyable to ride.
You made the right jump. The CB500X and the CB500F are perfect motorcycle's. I have the F. It's so much fun, I never stop smiling.
Grow a pair, Nancy!
With the CB500X what have you done to cure the tiring caused by the wind at speed?
@@georgewashington687 The 500x was fine at speed the CT was the one that got tiring.
What the hell 😅
amazing custom 👍👍👍👍
But seriously, mon ami, how many cases of biere (Beer) can mounted on this toy ?
With all how many HP output?
Clutch is manual?
Man this is super sweet!!
What size are the tires you put on the bike?
Great video man!
Where can I find one of those I would love to have one ❤️ I wonder what is the price
Hello can you guys recommend tubeless compatible spoked rim?
Now that’s what a postie bike should be.
I like the bike, but that pipe locks it to the street 😢.
Nice job on the video. My prediction is that with editing and content like this, the channel is going to grow big.
Merry Christmas
