Honda just came out with a new trail 125 and here it is! About 6 years ago I was going to purchase one around the time I had a burst appendix but now it seems like the timing is right to buy a new one! For me, the burst appendix meant I could no longer pick up my 2009 KLR 650 and I remember dumping it in my yard and having to ask our housekeeper to help me pick it up which was kind of embarrassing because of my hernia caused my burst appendix. But, with something this light as long as I'm wearing a velcro Hernia belt which looks a lot like a motorcycle Kidney belt I suppose I would be fine lifting this thing into the back of my truck and out of my pickup truck which would be great!
What they don't tell you when you get a burst appendix and a laparoscopic operation is that if you cough from the stuff they put down your windpipe so you don't get reflux while on the operating table and unconscious and die, that coughing for a month can give you a hernia. Oh Well! It's still great to be alive!
And though I can't safely pick up my KLR 650 from the ground if it lays down without going to the hospital anymore I can pick up something like this with a velcro hernia belt on and even load or unload it from my truck which is great too!
My Dad used to have an old Trail 90 that had two ranges of gearing which was great. Even with two on board I just about went straight up with that thing in the lower gear range way back when likely in the 1970s then. However, I haven't test driven one of the new ones yet to know much about it other than the videos you see on this page.
