One of the fellas at work rides a 110 to work each day, a couple of other fellows ride harleys...the 110 is more interesting and gets more conversation time.


These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Like me. 🤠

Wonder what the top speed is ? They need a camo version.


I lost a Honda 90 3 wheeler that broke down about 45 years ago after dark.

Took me 3 days to find it and it was Red.

The absolute last thing I want in the woods is anything that blends into the woods and is hard to see and cost thousands of dollars !!

If I was to use one today I would want it to glow in the dark and have an alarm so I could push a button and it would go off and be found easily if it was lost anywhere !!

Don't have to be camo to be used hunting,I have had deer walk up on me while I was sitting on a running atv.
Killed deer that walked up on me while I had a fire going,Cutting wood with a chainsaw etc.

I have had squirrels all around me while I was wearing blaze orange and deer hunting .even walking through the woods.

Camo is way overated for hunting and has created a helluva money making industry for the makers of camo clothing by convincing hunters that they have to be camo clad to be two successful, but as far as hunting critters goes it is not really needed in my view.






As have I. Once had a doe walk with in 10 feet of me while I was taking a dump off the bumper of my bright red F-350 Diesel pickup. It was running with the stereo blasting.

I just meant the Camo versions would sell like hot cakes.

Oh yea I am sure they would sell
Funny story about the doe walking up on you !

I’m going to wait until they arrive at my dealership and see what is true and what isn’t.

I look forward to swapping the Michelin T63 knobbies on my KLR for Shinko 705's, the buzz on the highway is annoying and the Shinko's will be fine for everything short of mud bogs.

No Rascal for MY wife, she has to walk and keep the dogs in shape. And herself too.

That low gear would be to haul my old ass up to the hunting spot so I could climb the hill on foot. Makes no sense to use the moto to get to the top, one would just have to climb back up the hill to get it to ride down. Might as well climb while fresh and cruise down, no?

Climbing very steep stuff around trees and rocks where there is no trail and motorcycles shouldn't really be. 90s and 110s were the only thing that could haul a decent load to remote places where there are no roads other than snow machines in winter. Yes a good pack horse will work fine, if you want to own a pack horse. You are welcome, punk.

I loved my uncle's Tote Gote when I was kid. At least I think that's who owned it. I'd run one now if I had one, especially a 6 HP one

Given that high price tag for a new one, now might be the time to off load my hardly used CT110. The main advantage of the Honda CT is that it is street legal and doesn’t stall with that automatic clutch. Pretty much just a replacement for legs without great suspension and too narrow a rear tire. That low range is good for picking your way along in a tight woods, but you had better have a good trail. A Rokon is better in the woods, but not street legal.


My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory

Jim in Idaho: I owned not one but three "Honda Trail 90's over the years. I also owned a nifty little Tote Gote for several years.
Used them to get quickly into remote places to Hunt Big Game and Grouse and for fishing.
Extremely useful "tools"!
The quietness of the Trail 90's did serve me well on some high country Elk Hunts also.
There is a lot to like about a reliable, quiet, fuel efficient, light weight, trail bike that you can strap some game and some gear to!
I think I will be a "playah" for one of these myself!
I wish "Big Green" (Remington) had half the brains/common sense as "Big Red" (Honda!)!

If you don’t need the higher speed the low range helps to lock in the automatic clutch quicker and offers more torque with less throttle. It comes in handy at times. The old lady’s ass ain’t gettin any smaller.

What attributes would make this better than a Honda Rancher. Price is same for a used one.

Yeah, not happening.

Probably why they come with street tires. Stop kidding yourselves.



Plus....my TW200 would embarrass it.
