The Honda CT110 is a small dual-sport motorcycle manufactured by Honda in Japan from 1980 to the present and sold in various parts of the world. This motor has sold well all over the world and has a loyal following to this day.
CT110 replaces CT90, which is basically the same machine but with a smaller displacement engine.

Features
The CT110 in its classic form has a nearly-horizontal 105cc 4-stroke air-cooled 4-stroke engine in a step by step tube/stamping frame. It also has semi-automatic four-speed transmission and centrifugal clutch. That's coupled with a 2: 1 gear reduction box known as the dual-range sub-transmission, which switches to operation using a small lever below the transmission box, allowing the bike to climb a steep slope without difficulty.
CT110s are considered good for extreme reliability, economy and ease of operation. Four-speed transmission without grip does not require a clutch lever. In Australia and New Zealand the liberation of left-handed riders makes sending letters easier for postal workers, or "posties".

North America
In the United States CT110 is equipped with legal lights and mirrors for factory roads, large luggage racks, central stands, and additional gas cans. The 1980 CT110 model did not have a double-span sub-transmission, but the feature was back in the following years. The motorcycle was imported from 1980 to 1986.
Australia/New Zealand
CT110 is still manufactured and sold in other countries around the world, especially Australia and New Zealand, where it is known as the "Postie Bike" because of its use by Australia Post and New Zealand Post as a delivery bike, with no double-span sub-transmission. In Australia it also makes them the best-selling motorcycle in the country
A slightly modified version, CT110 AG, is sold for agricultural purposes. CT110AG has recently become enrolled on roads in Australia (2009), and has been able to recycle roads in New Zealand for some time.
After almost 30 years available only through the sale of secondhand from Australia Post in large quantities, Honda began selling road-registerable models to the domestic market in July 2009.
In addition to the Australian market, a large number of CT110 and CT90 models are also brought to Tanzania in eastern Africa, where many are still in use today. Among the original users was Denmark's Danida aid organization. During the late 1970s and 1980s they were standard motorcycle problems for volunteers.
