Many farmers have come to realise that ATVs and UTVs have a place on the property, but when it is just moving people around the property, a two-wheeler really fits the bill.
The CT 125 with its step-through frame design makes for easy access, especially for those vertically challenged workers, has good carrying capacity, can handle the tough stuff and importantly is road registerable.
Featuring a 4-speed transmission and simple chain final drive, the CT 125 is equipped with single 220mm disc brake up front and a 190mm unit at the rear for excellent stopping, while the front unit is also equipped with ABS for increased safety.
The chassis has been designed to adapt to all types of situations and a wide variety of riders, featuring an increased wheelbase that makes it nimble, easily controlled and complemented with an 800mm seat height and upswept handlebars.
