2020 Honda CT 125 Hunter

Probably going to be similar to the Monkey in price. MSRP High $3000's to low $4000's. Non ABS and ABS (+$200). Out the door will be mid to upper $4000's. Another important thing to note, don't fall in love with the design of the turn signals. Once they get to the US they will be redesigned and made to look over-sized and hideous.

Hard to say about the turn signals. Lighting compliance regs have been changing rapidly and for the better. With a 12v system, LED options abound, so that wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me. OTOH, adding 25-30% above and beyond MSRP...no f*****g way I'd pay that when I can get a much more capable bike for the same, or less, money. If it was an updated version of the Dax, I could see GROM/monkey pricing. Competent minis are few and far between. Once you're into the world of fullsize bikes, which includes lightweights, there are many options...including ultra-low-mileage bikes. I really doubt that my thinking is unique on this topic. I also realize that there will be some who have been waiting for this updated version of the CT110 and will gladly pay upwards of a $1K premium to be the first kid on the block to get one.

Plan on Honda using something from the parts bin for a brake light and turn signals .

It is some decent Coin for this ' updated version of the CT110 ' but if you look at the price of new cars lately... this seems kinda reasonable.

I was just out on the trails this morning, on my 91'. no lie, i was at the same place i dropped it last year and the ride is kinda rough on that 91 CT70! I was on the pegs a lot as its untravelled out there with lots of craters .I am using the Rebel's old fuel i drained out yesterday...

But Maybe this new 125cc offering will handle the trails better, i'm guessing it will. I still wouldn't mind having one, it would fit in perfect with the rest of my crew.

With a mini, the goal is getting through the trails. With a full size bike, one can think about ripping through them. Just adding 17+inch tires is one helluva big advantage, simple physics. If the new 125 model is your dream, go for it. My point is that in this size range and price point, there are more capable bikes and that doesn't bode well for sales volume...the same things that spelled the end for its predecessors.

Very true, seems Honda does produce the more capable bikes but those bikes need a bigger and capabler rider and that ain't me.
Could be Honda is trying to find a niche market that is really needed. An updated capable bike that is easy to handle with low weight & seat height is Important for those built closer to the ground.
