Good choice sw motech is some of the best you can get. Supporting you from afar my fellow creator!

Would have liked to compare these two bikes with the 1971 K1 Honda Trail 90 I had with the Powroll 125 stroker kit. Took it from a bog standard old Trail 90 and made it a super sleeper. Unfortuantely, it was otherwise a 6 volt 1970 Honda with all the lighting weaknesses, carburetor and points and condensor ignition, and needed anti-ping gas additive.

Too funny.

I found a dealer in Medford Oregon that was awesome to work with. I pre-ordered 3. I just received my 3rd CT125.

I just bought one and noticed the fan to keep the engine cool activates frequently and is also significantly noisy. I was surprised by this as nobody mentioned it in the countless reviews that I watched. Does anyone else notice this and is it bothersome for you?

You're right on all points. I bought the Scrambler 400 x two weeks ago, and have done my first 1k on it . I love it, but I am a brand new rider, and this is my first bike. So something that is more powerful would be a bit scary for me at this early point in my riding journey, as I am still finessing my throttle control and learning basic riding skills. But even with that, the very short 1st and 2nd gears were instantly noticeable for me. I stopped using 1st gear after a couple of days, as I found that in intersections or light stops, it is very short to the point that if I am first in line and wanted to be a little quick off the line to reach the other "safe" side of the intersection, I had to change gears before even reaching the middle of the intersection, and that's a bit dangerous for someone like me who is still slow with changing gears, and sometimes make mistakes. So I stopped using 1st gear altogether, and now 2nd gear is my new 1st. Also noticed that the bike is perfect for in-city riding where you're always between 50-60 Km/hr. (this is Canada). I tried it on the highway though, and after 80 or 90 Km/hr. (55 miles/hr.), the experience becomes unpleasant. I am not sure if it is the vibrations from the single cylinder, or the lack of wind protection or a combination of both. So for me, this bike is a great first bike for someone to learn on, without being intimidated. Or a great second bike for an experienced rider who is looking for a chill bike around town. It is lightweight, and it looks gorgeous. People turn their heads everywhere I go. Thanks for the review.

When you got the bike did you also get the metel rack that takes the place of the pillion seat ? I have run that on the bike for six years ..I works great and would do you better than just using the under housing .. Just saying :) All the best , Guy

SO I got the 2017 version of this bike as a left over in 2018 .. I got the center stand heated grips, tiger adventure foot pegs and the pannier rack that I made a wooden box to hold my rain suet and winter gear . I average 54 MPG and have a range of 160 to 170 miles per tank . I ride on low test of med test gas .. With 19K miles I am on my third chain and second set of sprockets (I ride dirt and gravel and winter salt so I am hard on the drive train) I have had two sets of Metzler Torance tires and am on a set of Michelin Anerkee 's at the moment ... Because the suspension is at best adequate the bigger foot pegs have been my favorite add (that and the heated grips in New England winter riding ) . ..Six years of joy .I do wish the gas tank was bigger and an Oleans set up would be fun but this bike owes me nothing and I am looking forward to the nest 20K miles with her ... Yours from New England , Guy

Are we gonna get the Cub Cross?..

I love my 21 SuperCub...but ive only put 900 miles 😂😂😂 so...ive added passenger seat, foot pegs, sidecstand and made a few mobile device mounting bars😮😮😮

I am 5:11 and 180LBS. Use to own the Scrambler 900 now i own ST900. Love it. i put British Customs Bench seat that give me little bit of hight. Not fan of Highways anyway. st 900 is a forever Bike.

Just got a MeshAF in hi-viz! How did yours hold up after 5 years? Did you figure out some good-looking riding pants? Thanks for this vid.

Aku ra masalah buku dll hal kui ramasalh ..ra senengku ngadalke wong porvokasine interent .....dagang kok model nipu ngono sopo dipikir istsel russia cino...yo utang utsng malah sing ngutangi kudune isin sing utang podo waekudune lho ya......saiki meh melu kejuaraan yo wong liyo sing di bayar kan lucu.malah kene di tantang ta tantang walik lapo wedi..

I’m 5’10” at 209 pounds. Own the Street Twin. Love it. The ride home from the dealership was weird since I’m used to very big bikes. At 65 years old I’ve owned over 45 motorcycles in my long motorcycle career. Every kind you can think of. But weird because yes it felt small. Like a mini bike lol. And I thought omg what have I done. I’m too big for this bike. Well it only took 10 minutes of riding and the feeling of cramped or small disappeared. Seriously. Rode 1.5 hours to get home. Love the power. Love the riding position. Absolutely love the stock exhaust note. Last ride I took was over 250 miles. I did not experience any discomfort and I have to say I just love the character of this bike. Good review. You nailed all the points one should consider between the two bikes. I agree highway speed over 70 mph is fatiguing but almost every naked bike will be. If you want to ride mostly highway then buy a proper highway bike. As for me. I’ll do highway when I need to and it’s fine. We had no choice back in the 70’s when all bikes were naked lol. So I’m going back to the future lol. Cheers.

I have 10,400 miles on mine. Great backroads brawler. I plum wore out the original front and rear tires in 7,000 miles, almost down to the cord. If I only had one bike, this would be it.

I'm 5'10". Size 13 shoe and a chunky 210lbs. My spouse owns a st900 and I have to ride it for her weekly as she got injured a month back. Frankly I feel like a bear riding a tricycle every time I hop on it. Also a big thing that annoys me is the lack of a 6th gear, I hate it in the highway for that reason. The positives; solid tech package and solid stock sound. Overall i think the bike is perfect for beginners who are under 5'9".

My wife have this one, red/wht. I just wish it came with a (Installed) battery tender and a side kick stand. much easier to park and move around. They (Honda) missed the ball by not installing them both.

Wow…Hard to believe you couldn’t find parts…I just got the scrambler 400x and ordered pretty much every accessory they have for it and got everything in a week. Also changed out the front sprocket to a 15 and the power delivery is much better. I think it’s one of the hottest bikes out right now.

You had me at “125mph…GROSS.”

Man, looks like you've just bought a wrong bike... You don't like: wheels tank engine seat exhaust Arises a question - what do you like in it indeed?

Well spoken and well said. Might make an MT07 scrambler or get a Tenere 700. Daily ride is an XSR700

1) The fit and finish is as good as any bike in this range. 2) Just 3 months later, a lot of Indian companies are exporting accessories. Zana comes to mind. Even ebay has specific parts and some of the Amazon parts unofficially fit in. You have to give it time. Its a NEW Bike. 3) As someone who is getting older and had its past share of faster bikes (750 cc crotch rocket, SV650, etc), I do not want to ride faster than 80 (true GPS) MPH on the highway. This bikes "suffer" from the 14t front sprocket made for the off-roading crowd. Going to 15t (as installed in the Speed) makes it more pleasant and reduces the 75 MPH cruising speed by about almost 500 rpms. This bike is SUPER COMFORTABLE in stock form for someone who is 5'11" and rides solo. It is also the BEST one at the price (this side of a cruiser) that can carry a small to medium female passenger. The Triumph Scrambler 400X is UNIQUE in the following ways: It is the Scrambler that Kawasaki could have built with their current platforms of what they call "500" (actually 450+cc in their Ninja - Super Sport, Z500 - Naked, Eliminator...) I would have used the torquier engine version of their Eliminator cruiser and voila, it would have completed the whole spectrum and made it a nice bridge to their KLX300 and KLX300SM bikes. Heck it might even have qualified it for power as far as your criteria.

How bad is that super cub is and how I hate myself I shod boy super cub 125

Was ready to close the video until I heard that first point. 😂 Well done. Very educational.

wait so all someone has to do is spin the wheel fast and they can start my bike?

Don't buy this motorcycle if you want any other color that gray in 2024.

I bought a 2020 Honda Super Cub and love it. Now, I need to take the DMV Skills test to get my motorcycle license here in Arizona. Question: I will need to complete an obstacle course that includes doing tight U-Turns, S-Turns etc. All the online instructions to do obstacle course make full use of the hand clutch. So, their not very helpful for us Super Cub riders. Can you please offer some guidelines on how to best manage an obstacle course on a Super Cub? Thanks, Sal

Nice! On that tip! 😊

I dunno man, the stock exhaust is one of the best looking stock exhausts ever made imo

Trail

Thanks...UT took your channel out of my list %&*%$&^%

Your Daria-inspired logo is so awesome! Love the content, too!

I see what you did there. 😂

sub'd great video. going between these two right now

really great bike . I have same but in khaki green.

First! great video!

You should do an episode on what you wear for gear

What all Realist need too remember is : Americans live in Disney World & do not realize it, Complaining About Everything.... 👍Great Fair Review👍

i live in Marietta just got my trail 125 they are very available now

So I see you have this and the scrambler version am looking at these two now what’s your preference between the two and why

Great video and commentary! I also got mine during the pandemic. I've had trouble bonding with it. The shifting rocker and no clutch have been hard to adjust to. I guess I just need to ride it more. My husband who recently gave up his big bikes due to balance issues loves this one.

I put mirror extenders on mine. And a side stand.

Battery compartment is indeed a nightmare. I don't use the plastic battery cover. (not the red cover you show, but rather the one ON the battery) I just shove a wash cloth in there to keep the battery to jiggling around. There's NO way I'd be able to put that battery cover back on.

Just wondering for my friend...um...Joey Jojo Jr., if in an emergency could you just put a pillow on the rack and have her sit there.

I have an 08 and he is right the seat height is for taller guys, I’m 5’8 160 and stock I could only tiptoe one side but with the lowering shackle and stock seat I’m close to flat foot on both sides

Street Twin for me!

These bikes fit a wide variety of different needs for many people and situations. Reliable Longevity and extremely economical is why people love these bikes. Nice video 👍👍👍👍

I really enjoyed this video and, wow, that banana chai looked delicious! Love your Triumph, too! Keep on posting and safe travels to you!

Hey. Thanks for this review. I’ve been eyeing this bike for a couple years, weighing against a traditional scooter like a Primevera or a Royal Alloy. The Vespa sticker price would be a strain in my wallet, for sure. I’d be using a bike as a commuter to work and errands on city streets. Any thoughts about the bigger wheel size of the SCub vs a scooter on the street? The Royal Alloy price is a bit easier than a Vespa, but they’re also pretty tall for me at 5’5” and a 30” inseam. As much as I love the look of those classic scooters (too many screenings of Quadrophenia as a teen), maybe this is a good compromise with a top box for storage.

genuinely appreciate the straight talking critiques you've made on the Triumph 400's. Some of the things you stated are not really a concern to me like the aftermarket parts, and your critique about soft low RPM torque is actually a positive for my confidence as a new rider about to take MSF. Compared to your video, just about every other influencer video is either pompom cheerleading these bikes or avoiding firm criticism. Some of your points do make me have a stronger consideration for the Speed 400 despite the aesthetic of the Scrambler 400x drawing me in.
