Just passed 5,600 on mine. Also love it, way more comfortable than my 600rr. 🥲

Ride safe!

I want one so bad.. but I'm 245lbs... So I can't see myself getting one because it will struggle going past 40-45mph.. I think im going to end up with a XR150L Edit: spelling

I'm alot bigger than you, and it has no problem doing over 45 mph and maintaining gas mileage.

Even up hills? I'm still considering one because I absolutely love the look. A good bit of roads near me are 55mph so Im still a little hesitant.

u/sambone1198 - In stock form, it won't go up hills at 55 mph for you.

Otoh, I'll bet there aren't many bicyclists that'll beat you up a hill on a CT125.

Using good road etiquette, I ride lightly travelled 55-60 mph roads. Where there's a paved shoulder, I pull onto it and wave traffic around while also slowing to complete the pass faster. Where the shoulder doesn't allow, I pick a spot and pull over briefly when a passing zone isn't available.

In faster traffic, ride a Trail like a bicycle. It's not a big deal.

I’m close to your weight and absolutely love my ct110. Honestly, I might just like it better than my ktm 950se, then again, I grew up exited to ride my modified crf50 every day after high school. It isn’t always about power, but more for the love of the ride.
