Honda CT110 “Postie Bike” – Specs & Stats

What is the Honda CT110?

The Honda CT110 is an off-road motorcycle made between 1980 and 2013 to replace the CT90 – a variant of the Super Cub design.

The CT110 is particularly well-known in Australia, where it’s called “The Postie Bike” since Australian mail carriers used them to deliver the mail.

While the CT110 was primarily offered in red, there were two different types of red called “Monza Red” and “Tahitian Red.”

• Monza Red: Used for the 1980 and 1982 models
• Tahitian Red: Used for the 1981 models
