We have been on the road for a year now.
2-up on a CT110 Postie with metal (homemade) panniers.
Average distances have worked out to be 200kms.
It depends on the roads and traffic really.
We can cruise at 70km/h if given the chance.
In Indonesia the roads we so bad 30km/h average was tops= 200km days were tough.
In Bangladesh we usually slept in and started riding after a big lunch. Good roads and no traffic in the rural areas. 50km/h average. = 200km half days.
Here in India the traffic is terrible and the heat intense. We still sleep in though. 30km/h average. 150km days cos there is somuch wierd stuff to stop and gawk at.

You can see the Bike prep and road reports of all the countries so far on our touring blog.

A fantastic bike.
After this trip Im gonna convert one to run on methane. Get some goats, chickens and cows together, collect all thier waste and scive the gas to run an ecofriendly postie.

See you out here.
Nat and Aki

Ya know, I havent a clue! check here....Honda Trail CT's - Message Board - Yuku
for more info than you can handle...

Al i Know is. you CAN turn a CUB into a CT90, with the replacement of the engine (easiest way) removeal of dual seat, add a single plus rack, throw the legshields and add the bash guard, different bars and maybe dependin on year diff forks.







Whew!:D

Lovely bike, and round the world is the answer. 200-300 kms a day is nice and you get to see what's what. This is actually the most successful bike on the planet - and I think they are great.:thumbup1::mchappy:

That would be me, Charge Of The Midgets pt.2_Cape York on 110cc - AusTouring.com I did a 450 to 500km day and it took about 12 hours of solid riding excluding tyre repairs. Most was black top but the last 150km was reasonable dirt. No idea what speed I was doing as the speedo was broken, not important really.

They are a great little machine, I still can't wipe the smile off my face.

Some friends have just bought a pair and are going to ride them from Brisbane to Sydney and Melb in the next couple of weeks.

I have an idea gaining momentem to do an outback Queensland pub ride next year! Might organise some backup this time!
