In a world where motorcycles have grown as big and heavy as the ambitions behind them, Honda has tossed out a reminder that sometimes small is just right. The Honda Dax 125, set to hit U.S. shores for the 2025 model year, is a nod to the iconic 1969 CT70—a bike that carved out a special place in the hearts of American riders.
The Honda Dax 125 Takes Fun to a New Level
The Trail 70, with its unmistakable T-bone frame and chunky tires, once lived strapped to the backs of motorhomes, zipping through campgrounds across the country. Now, it’s back in the form of the Dax 125, blending classic charm with modern performance.
Honda’s Colin Miller put it best, saying the Dax 125 is more than a nostalgic trip; it’s an update on a classic that’ll appeal to both the old guard and a new generation.
It’s got the retro flair that drew in families decades ago while packing the reliability and tech we expect from bikes today. Riders young and old are bound to be charmed by its quirky design and effortless fun.
With colors like Pearl Glittering Blue and Pearl Gray and a price tag of $4,199, the Honda Dax 125 is proof that Honda hasn’t lost touch with what makes motorcycles fun: simplicity, nostalgia, and a whole lot of heart.
Available at U.S. dealers this October, the Dax is a bike that fits both memory and the moment. My only question is whether it will take sales from the Honda Monkey, which equals Dax’s retro cool factor.
