Honda CT125 Chums Limited Edition: 300 crazy bird edition

The Honda CT125 Chums Limited Edition is a collaboration with the outdoor brand Chums, with a red-white color scheme inspired by the red-footed booby, limited to 300 units. The vehicle uses a 123.94 cc engine, 17-inch spoke wheels, Nissin disc brakes and front wheel ABS; priced from 98,900 baht, 10,000 baht higher than the standard version.

At Big Motor Sale 2025, Honda Thailand turned the CT125 into a style statement with the Chums Limited Edition. Instead of just being a small off-road motorbike, the CT125 Chums clearly shows the outdoor spirit through a series of synchronized accessories and the red-white color scheme typical of Chums, inspired by the Red-Footed Booby bird - the lucky mascot of the Japanese brand.

Limited to 300 units, this version focuses on personality and outdoor functionality: the protective frame, rack and handlebars are all painted in striking red, while the white paint and Booby logo create a distinct identity compared to regular CT125s.

Chums and the Outdoor Spirit

Different from the usual "sticking - changing color" method, the CT125 Chums brings details with practical use value: the front rack, Barkbusters hand protection cover and underbody protection frame are all outdoor-oriented equipment, and are synchronized in red to emphasize the Chums identity. The body keeps the main white tone, the highlight is the Booby bird logo sitting drinking water and the production serial number placed on the body.

In terms of layout, the CT125 is designed with a solo seat and a rear rack instead of a pillion seat. On the Chums version, the red single seat is embossed with the “Chums” logo, matching the exterior accents. This is a suitable configuration for the purpose of carrying camping gear, instead of carrying two people.

Compact terrain design language

The CT125 Chums remains faithful to the compact trailbike shape, open frame and high exhaust pipe - details commonly found on off-road models that emphasize safety when going through shallow flooded areas or gravel roads. The exhaust pipe is covered with a standard bright-colored insulation panel, both protecting and adding to the off-road "quality".

The 17-inch spoked rims retain the CT125's utilitarian spirit. The braking system, supplied by Nissin, includes front/rear discs, with the front wheel having ABS – a useful feature when operating on slippery surfaces.

Ergonomics and outdoor-oriented amenities

The red single seat with the Chums logo provides a flat, easy-to-turn seating surface when standing for a short time. The rear rack is the default equipment of the CT125, allowing for the attachment of a small box or soft bag. This structure is suitable for weekend trips, light camping, instead of carrying a second person.

In addition to the vehicle, Honda also displays a series of Chums accessories such as picnic chairs, drinking cups, clothes, etc. to complete the style "identity". Customers can also choose a red/white 3/4 helmet with the Chums logo for aesthetic harmony.

CT125 Platform Performance

The heart of the CT125 Chums is a 123.94 cc, 4-stroke, SOHC, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that shares the same platform as the Honda Super Cub 125. The electronic fuel injection system ensures stable starting and operation in daily use. The 4-speed round gearbox combines a kick-start system, true to the minimalist and durable spirit of a light touring vehicle.

The 5.4-liter fuel tank capacity and the weight of about 116 kg suggest flexible use in both urban and light dirt roads. In fact, this configuration is more about ease of control and durability at low-medium speeds than high-speed performance.

Chassis, 17-inch rims and Nissin brakes

17-inch spoked rims with light terrain tires increase resistance when going over potholes and bad roads. Nissin disc brakes front/rear provide stable stopping power, in which front wheel ABS supports control when braking hard on slippery roads. For the purpose of picnics and leisurely travel, this brake-tire configuration strikes a good balance between smoothness and firmness.

Safety and technology

On the CT125 Chums, the key equipment focuses on durability and control: Nissin disc brakes on both wheels, front ABS and electronic fuel injection. The presence of Barkbusters handguards also contributes to protecting the handlebars and brake calipers in case of unexpected collisions in the outdoor environment.

Price and positioning

In Thailand, the Honda CT125 Chums Limited Edition is priced from 98,900 baht (about 3,060 USD), about 10,000 baht (about 310 USD) higher than the standard CT125 version.
