  Rumor is, Chase is still trying to complete the 40-80 pull.

  Needs a bigger cargo rack with the amount of girls you'd pull with that

  This bike can and will live forever if you maintain it properly

  I’m 45 years, I’ve had big Harleys and fast supersports but this bike it easily the most fun and practical bike I’ve owned. It’s so playful, easy going, fast enough, (kind of) safe and gets you everywhere you need to go without the bulk and hassle of big bikes.<br>Also I hate highway riding and this bike makes you look for the smaller, more interesting roads which are always a more fun and pleasurable experience.<br>Love these little Hondas!

  You have to rev match to make your down shifts smoother.

  Motorcyclist magazine did a video on paying off a Trail using Doordash or similar, came up with about 130 hours to pay it off.

  I door dash on the grom, and buying the trail 125 in two days! My first bike was a trail 90 ten years ago! Btw, on door dash, I can pull $1000 a week. You can pay this bike off in one month of 40-60 hours a week. I’m usually making between $17-25 an hour. For instance, I got paid $9 to run ONE can of Red Bull two miles. Or $35 to run a bag of Mexican food 25-30 miles away. Your profit margins on a mini bike are substantially higher especially at 100 miles to the gallon.

  Not gonna lie, would be sick to see chase do a bunch of reviews for 125’s this year and then rank them at the end the year

  Back in the 80s, we rode the 110 version of this bike at Six Flags Over Georgia. &nbsp;It was used by the parking lot foremen and supervisors as a workhorse. &nbsp;We carried traffic cones stacked on that back rack as high as we could reach with our left hand above our heads. &nbsp;We carried two 50-lb. bags of ice from the ice house in the middle of the park down to our shed on the park perimeter where we filled Igloo coolers with ice &amp; water, then took the filled coolers to various locations around our parking areas. &nbsp;We pulled wooden A-frame direction signs around the property. &nbsp;Not having a clutch was critical so we could use our left hands to hold on to all that stuff, plus allowed us to easily use our radios even while shifting through the gears. &nbsp;We transported team members as needed to get them to locations all around not just the parking lot (they sat on the back rack), but sometimes to other nearby dirt lots when we overflowed our parking. &nbsp;In a typical day, we would use almost 2 full tanks of fuel from the time the first day shift foreman started around 7:30 AM until the last night shift one came in around 12:45 AM (we were open until midnight in those days). &nbsp;And when we had slow times during the week, yes, we did some off-roading in the woods behind the park. &nbsp;With all the inexperienced riders (most team members had never ridden prior), those things went through a lot of abuse. &nbsp;Our foremen (both male and female) were able to ride the bike, from 5&apos;&apos; 1&quot; in height to about 6&apos; 3&quot; while I was there. &nbsp;Didn&apos;t see you use the heel shifter, which we used almost exclusively given foremen wore standard issue sneakers, which the toe-shifter would&apos;ve worn through in about a week. &nbsp;If I had a farm or something, I would get one of these in a heartbeat. &nbsp;Lots of fun, but it can still be a real workhorse. &nbsp;And you&apos;re right, it would be a GREAT commuter bike in the city. &nbsp;And doing meal delivery with that big rack on the back? &nbsp;Absolutely.

  I use this bike for food delivery in Korea. It gets great gas mileage, the luggage rack is huge, and I absolutely love it
