Looks like the 2021 Honda CT125 is that much closer to getting into production as Honda filed and registered the designs over at the European Union Intellectual Property Office. What was introduced as a concept back in 2019 at the Tokyo Motor Show is now well on its way to the production stage and if all goes well, we might just see it at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show (IF it doesn’t get cancelled due to all this Coronavirus commotion).

It looks like the Honda CT125 is headed into production.
The prototype bike was first shown at the Tokyo Motor Show but could be sold under a different name. Bennets UK reported that the manufacturer had trademarked the “Trail 125” and “Hunter Cub” names in the US.
The bike is based on the Super Cub 125 which our sister site Motomalaya.net reviewed a few months back. The four-stroke, single-cylinder engine produces 9.5 bhp, sent through a 4-speed gearbox. As the name suggests, and to highlight the bike’s vocation, it’ll be fitted with chunky knobby tyres on wire spoke rims. The CT125 will also receive a substantial pressed-steel frame instead of the Super Cub’s steel-tube chassis. The exhaust is also placed high a la scramblers.
In fact, the CT125 is an homage to the Honda Cub off-road line-up in the 60s. You’ve probably seen a few running around in Malaysia or hiding in a shed.
We hope it’ll make its way to Malaysia. It’s definitely one cut off-roader!
Saban tahun, EICMA menjadi medan pilihan bagi pengeluar motosikal untuk mempamerkan jentera konsep atau model baharu tetapi kebelakangan ini, Tokyo Motor Show semakin menjadi pilihan utama bagi pengeluar motosikal Jepun.
Bagi edisi 2019, Honda bakal memperkenalkan CT125 – sebuah motosikal konsep yang berlandaskan Honda C125 namun telah disuntik dengan ciri scrambler.
Honda sebelum ini pernah menghasilkan motosikal jenis ‘trail cub’ pada 1964 ,beberapa tahun selepas Honda Cub dilancarkan. Tahun lalu, pengeluar motosikal Jepun itu melancarkan Honda Super Cub – versi yang telah dinaik taraf.
Difahamkan, CT125 bakal ditayangkan bersama-sama pelancaran Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin.
Menariknya, rekaan keseluruhan CT125 tampak lebih garang dengan bahagian enjin kini terdedah sementara bahagian ekzos menampilkan rekaan yang terdapat pada Honda Monkey 125.
Bahagian depan juga didatangkan dengan sistem penyerap hentakan yang tampak lebih agresif sementara bahagian belakang dilengkapi dengan rak besi.
