It's great to see a side by side go over. Thanks.

[@Dailycozwerks]

Thanks for watching!

[@NicksBikes]

I like the idea of the Trail 125...But I went with the humble CB125F. It is less than half the price of the Trail, has 5 gears and a clutch (important for me, because I wanted to pass my license test on a manual bike, which I did) and is actually really capable in the dirt even with the stock tyres. I like the Super Cub, but I would still choose the Trail for its practicality if I had to choose between the two.

[@Dailycozwerks]

The CB125F looks great! Sadly, we don't get it here.

[@bennetthasty7886]

I was sure I wanted a Trail 125 & the super cub was a runner up BUT now I think I wanna Super cub

[@Dailycozwerks]

Ooooh, what bit changed your mind?

[@bennetthasty7886]

@@Dailycozwerks I think as much as I’d like to go adventure riding I think I’d in reality just commute on it more often

[@KtotheL]

I was looking at the accessories that you guys posted the link to (17 pages) and they had a gas tank that's fake that's really a trunk and with that thing on there it looks exactly like a real motorcycle You would never even know it's a trail 125... I would get that but it doesn't go all the way down between your legs so theres still is gap between the tank and the frame. If we took off all that space it would have been groovy man ! I think I have decided that's probably where I'm going to install my thousand watt motorcycle stereo :) I'm thinking about expanding to a subwoofer too I don't know if I can do that but I think I'll try it ! Thanks again for the videos ! The driveway looked great by the way and it's exactly what I was getting ready to do very soon

[@akbearable]

Super Cub, and Trail. Definitely Yin and Yang, female and male. Love em both! But I went for the Trail, (It's a 2024 and it's Yellow!). Can't wait to take possession in a couple days.. Thanks for the great 125 Honda videos!

[@Dailycozwerks]

Thanks for watching, and double thanks if you subscribed! I really appreciate your support. Congrats on the new bike!

[@MYOB1321]

Thanks for doing this episode. It's very helpful. But now I want one of each.

[@Dailycozwerks]

One of each is definitely the correct answer.

[@quickwood]

Love the review! Just subscribed as your enthusism is contagious. Lifelong rider but nit really enjoying my KTM 690 sm - 2007 any longer as my hips kill me and its a hard ass hoolugan bike for someone who is 71. I may just get the Super Cub for now as i hate not riding and i do live its style. May be able to bumper mount it for vacation too!

[@Dailycozwerks]

I am late to reply, but do iiiit. The Super Cub is amazing.

[@dennismasmhburn8960]

i ride a 1200 sporster xlcustom but when im riding the neighborhood or the dirt backroads i love the ct 125 i always have people asking about it because they remember them from way back

[@Madmamba458]

Love the videos on the bike .. this is my dream bike I’m on a waiting list hopefully soon …

[@Dailycozwerks]

You are gonna love it. Thanks for watching.

[@DearSX]

I have the CT125 and my brother the C125, I think the Cub is a bit faster and handles better, the Trail is more upright and very useful out the box. I have a 1981 Cub though with a 125cc engine and its more fun than both maybe but not as nice and less safe (brakes).

[@ernieschatz3783]

More proof that we all have different taste. I much prefer the looks and style...yes looks and style of the Trail/Hunter cub. The fact that you can either mount a seat or very substantial top box makes it even better. The Super Cub makes a nice street queen for an urban environment, but you better carry a messenger bag or a back pack. I think my wife might prefer how it looks.

[@Aka.Aka.]

U can put a rear rack and top box or seat on the super cub

[@astrobro13studios83]

Great video! I own a Honda Trail 125 myself. It’s awesome. I would like to add that the Trail 125 is better because it has a key and kickstart. Although the key fob on the Super Cub is a really cool feature it might fail when the battery goes dead. So the Trail 125 is more reliable in that aspect. And honestly, if the Honda Super cub had a key and kickstart and was available in Canada (it’s not unfortunately) I would have bought the Super Cub

[@Dailycozwerks]

Great point about the key. I need to cover that in a future video. Thanks for watching. I appreciate you.

[@alistairrobinson3865]

I literally just bought a 14 year old Honda innova instead of a modern cub because of the key / kickstart issue, such a blinding design error on this type of bike

[@elsina79]

The Super Cub is the bike that made get interested in motorcycles 7 months ago. I've gone and taken the MSF course and m1 license. Now I'm just saving up the money to get one.

[@Dailycozwerks]

That is awesome. I am stoked for ya. Thanks for watching.

[@ledgic1317]

I'm out here in atlanta, I ride a highly modified kymco xciting... I love riding scooters. So much fun.

[@Dailycozwerks]

That's awesome! Hopefully, I'll see ya out and about sometime!

[@eugeneteo9664]

the trial 125 rear rack has a weight limit of 20 kg ,are you only to carry a small child that weighs in at 20 kg only ?

[@jeffrey5238]

good work young man thank you sir

[@Dailycozwerks]

Thanks for watching!

[@sherryhaas9589]

We just purchased two Honda 2023 CT-125 trail bikes and love them but the seat is a little tall for my wife. It looks like the seat on the Super Cub is somewhat lower than the Trail seat. Since you have both models I was wondering if this is true? Is the lower looking seat on the Cub as comfortable as the seat on the Trail? Could you try swapping the Cub seat onto the Trail for us to see if it actually fits? If it does fit onto the Trail this may be the easiest way to lower her Trail seat. I would also need to know the model year of your Cub to order the correct part. I think the Cub seat would look great on the Trail too! You have two of the most popular motorcycles in the world, lucky guy. Thanks, Randy.

[@nbgen]

Both are great bikes the CT will kick start and run without a battery. The super cub can be started with a boost start but still wont run with a flat battery, it HAS to have a charged battery to run. That is a potential deal breaker for the super cub. But As my runs are 5% if ever off road, the super cub is my choice. But I will have both if I ever get enough money. You are a blessed man.

[@Dailycozwerks]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnm360]

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

[@timhudson1846]

I prefer the super cub. Simply because you can put a long seat on it...and it looks right. Much much more comfortable.

[@Dailycozwerks]

Good reasoning! Thanks for watching.

[@DrunkyMcAwesome]

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

[@Dailycozwerks]

Thanks for watching. You can't go wrong with either tbh.

[@kongwashere]

Does anyone know whether the engines are identical (except for the kick starter)? Reason for asking: the Trail is not available in Europe and self-import fairly impossible because of the trail not being Euro-5 emission homologated. That’s not necessarily saying it couldn’t pass that test, but that homologation is way to expensive if not done by the manufacturer. However, the SuperCub is sold in Europe (at least in Greece as far as I found out so far), so that engine must be certified as being euro-5 compliant. Thus my idea whether putting a supercub engine into a trail would allow me to make the Trail street-legal in Europe 🤔

[@jessemullins8144]

Love the bikes! I’m in the market and I also own a 2013 fender edition beetle. Six speed. 👌🏻🤘🏼

[@martinabenfield]

Great video

[@Dailycozwerks]

[@dennismasmhburn8960]

changing the exhaust helps gets up to speed quicker

[@robertleslie2467]

Love this video flick. Heck yeah! Gimme the super cub with a rear rack for a bigass milk crate for commuting to work, some groceries, and beer and the trail for camping and fishing. Too bad every time I go to look at one at a dealer they are always sold out. I reckon there’s a reason.

[@Dailycozwerks]

Definitely. They both have their place and that place is rarely in dealerships haha. Thanks for watching. I appreciate you.

[@TheKingsapostle]

I have NEVER seen a Super Cub in dealership!

[@ufooooooooooooooooo]

I actually browsed local dealers stock after watching this video and low and behold there are plenty of super cubs listed and the metropolitan and ruckus are even commonly listed below MSRP but I have seen not one single trail 125 at all. One guy local to me even went so far as to go 1000 miles to Washington State to buy one at a reasonable price.

[@vanmandad]

What do you think about the Can Am Ryker? I want to ride again but I'm having to learn to walk again (neuropathy) and balancing a bike at a stop let alone shifting with a foot I can't feel would be difficult. What do you think?

[@Dailycozwerks]

They seem like fun. I don't know a ton about them, though. If I were in that situation, I would likely go for the Piaggio MP3 or Kymco CV3. I just have a soft spot for scooters.

[@vanmandad]

@@Dailycozwerks thanks man. Love your vids 👍

[@cporter1775]

Great review. Like the trail bike best.

[@Dailycozwerks]

Thanks for watching!

[@ktranne]

Sup dude. I’m in Jonesboro. Where would you recommend to buy a Super Cub?

[@Dailycozwerks]

Hey man, I have had luck at Ride Now Powersports (It used to be called Freedom Powersports) in McDonough. They seem to have consistent stock of minimotos.

[@herdfan697278]

I have owned them both recently and the gearing is lower on the Trail 125 and either one work well on paved and unpaved roads but if you plan really going off road then you had better buy the Trail 125 Honda.

[@being5743]

Im solid Honda Super Cub fanatic

[@ShahryarSaigol]

The Trail 125 can be kick started even if the battery is completely dead. And it has a real key not a fob. And it comes with factory fitted side stand and center stand. It is overall a better value. If your supercub battery dies, you cannot push start it because the ignition will not fire without being activated by the key fob.

[@Dailycozwerks]

This isn't true. You can 100% push start a Super Cub with a dead battery. It will generate enough energy to power the ignition and start the bike. I have done it several times. A couple of which were in videos on this channel.

[@ShahryarSaigol]

@@Dailycozwerks How did you activate the power switch if the battery was fully discharged?

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

I know I am in the minority, but I wish they would offer the base cub version that is sold in other countries to us. It has spoked wheels a drum front brake and a keyed ignition. I just like it's looks, and it would be so much cheaper.

[@TheDeelunatic]

It didn't sound like you covered that the Trail has ABS on it's front wheel as well as dual disc brakes that the super cub does not have. (No ABS, only front disc brake and the rear is a drum.)

[@lancenorton1117]

The 2023 Super Cub has ABS on it's front axle.

[@monopolymoney2703]

100% they charge a cool tax. I have a trail, and i absolutely love it, but yea i was out $5k on the bike. Used they might fetch a higher price than a cub but both will hold value really well. Whichever one you pick youll be happy. Tubeless tires are definitely a plus. The super cub is classy.

[@Dailycozwerks]

I agree completely. Thanks for watching!

[@MOUSEBOWEN]

It is beautiful I want one so bad

[@Dailycozwerks]

Do iiiiit

[@MOUSEBOWEN]

I think the trail is way way better looking. I don’t line the silly wheels on the Super Cub

[@Dailycozwerks]

I mean.... you're wrong... but I still like you 😋. All jokes aside, I can definitely see that with the wheels. I like mag wheels more, but these ones definitely aren't the most attractive example.

[@MOUSEBOWEN]

@@Dailycozwerks so I went to the Honda dealer today and you right they have two Honda cubs a green one so beautiful I fall in love absolutely love it . $3800 plus all of the bs that stealership charges

[@kennethboehnen271]

I live in Thailand. I'll buy both for half the US price. 😁

[@Dailycozwerks]

Some guys have all the luck, haha. You probably get the ADV350 there, too 😒

[@nathangabriel8379]

do you sometimes feel unsafe on the supercub ?

[@Dailycozwerks]

Not at all! The brakes leave a lot to be desired, but I never feel like they are putting me in danger or anything.

[@andyandy4471]

What year is your trail?

[@Dailycozwerks]

2023

[@terrykeil6751]

Here in Thailand I paid $2600 usd out the door including tax lic and ins...for the Trail 125

[@Dailycozwerks]

Very jealous haha

[@Dailycozwerks]

Oh awesome! Which are you leaning towards?

Do thay sell the Honda Forza in the U.S. here we 3 models a 125 a 350 and a 750 the 125 and the 350 look the same. ok like your show .👍

[@davidclifton4394]

I do wish harley made a super cub type. They made the hummer a long time ago but now its not a thing sadly. Im not interested in the trail at all.

[@KtotheL]

I heard they're really struggling... They should embrace the newer technology before it's too late.

[@Lecream1]

Wow that dealer pried on your friend wow

[@kenaidiun3736]

Kick start is the deal breaker for me and the rear disc break is cheery on top....so CT125 .

[@Dailycozwerks]

Good reasoning! Thanks for watching.

[@hdrvman]

Leave the ceiling white !!!! Lol !!!

[@Dailycozwerks]

🤔🤔 maybe. If so, I really should have used tape lol

[@skipcallaham1517]

I agree, the white ceiling helps with the light reflection. But the black columns look good.

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

The pricing you are talking about for the CT125 is absolutely crazy to me... I can walk into any of the Honda dealerships in Bangkok and ride out the same day on a new CT125 for about $2500. While I think its a great bike, and a great looking bike, but $5K is wild to me.

[@Dailycozwerks]
