apparently "these bike are over $5000 brand new" and he also claims it's a 2004 model, does anyone know if honda still made these in 2004?

Would appear the dude is serious. Deluded, but serious.
Got the following off the search "honda"&"CT110"&"NZ"

The 250cc Bike List
Capacity: 110cc, Honda CT110 They _are_ actually the most popular (in terms of
numbers produced) of any ... About $1500- $2000NZ for a good one. 2-stroke ...

Honda CT110 Posty
Honda CT series A postman would be seen on nothing else than this family.
Type: Scooter Cheap low-performance transport.
Capacity: 110cc They _are_ actually the most popular (in terms of numbers produced) of any model of motorcycle, but traffic conditions in Australia don't really suit them. Perhaps, as local transport in a quieter "country" town, they may be considered a good thing...beats walking! ;-). ..but in fast traffic, they are well out of place. This family of bikes do provide interesting transport options in certain circumstances.

Full credit for trying! How'd he wear out the grip so fast?
Things that make you go mmm.

There is a group of guys who did a tour across Australia on CT110's

See http://www.ozbiker.org/news_current/...05_24_6_05.htm

Brilliant off road though. Once saw a hunter riding out of the ranges with a deer carcase tied to the back. They go almost anywhere, and are light enough to drag out of a ditch. They were made up until a couple of years ago, and may still be making them. Those trusty Honda 4 stroke singles go forever.

Not only were CT's still made in '04, they still make them now. Current list price is ~$4300.
Often called "Postie Bikes", they were built as farm bikes, but Australia Post (somehow...) figured they would make great mail delivery vehicles, hence the nickname.
Best bike I ever rode around the south Wairarapa coast was a CT90. As Dadpole says - they go damned-near anywhere.

Dam that looks fast, what'ya reckon guys, an Inline 4?

**avgas** · 22nd January 2006, 19:06

Where do i put all the honeys i pick up with that thing

**T.W.R** · 22nd January 2006, 19:15

plenty of people mainly rural types learnt to ride on those antiquated old steeds, unchanged for many a year, robust, reliable, boring but they just keep on going.
there was a international rally in oz recently for the wee buggers, i think Zadok actually posted about it, there was also an article in one of the kiwi mags an issue or two back.

Wash your mouth, they are 4 stroke. Also may still have the dual range gearbox in them too.
I lernt to ride on an XL125, then dad bought mum a CT90 for her birthday. It was great. But it in low ratio and it would climd banks that were unbielievably steep! Had many hours of fun making new tracks up the side of a shingle pit next to the farm.

Found it really easy to get away from my mate on his PE 175.

i will personally go and laugh in the face of anyone who seriously bids for that item

**quickbuck** · 22nd January 2006, 19:35

Bare in mind these make a very good farm bike. It is designed for a purpose, and designed very well. There aren't many bikes that you can ride while carrying a sheep on your lap. I have seen it done in complete safety. The price is realistic in my opinion.
