CT110 Adventurers

The growing trend in travel

In the first week of ONE TEN opening the doors for business in 2006 we had a young Japanese man named Taka come in and choose a CT110 for his trip around Australia. We thought he was a bit mad at the time and gave him as much advise and support as we could given the enormity of his task. We kept in touch with him thoughout his trip and sent him whatever he needed to keep him going.

 

We were immensely gratified to have him come back to us in one piece with the bike (pictured above). We still have that bike in the shop and marvel at his efforts. After selling that bike to Taka we have noticed a growing trend not just for the many Asians visiting the country but also our fellow countrymen coming in to purchase their 'ride' - the mighty CT110 Postie Bike, to see this vast country of ours.

      

There are a few terms used by our customers to describe Postie bikes. The ones we seem to hear the most are  -  'bullet proof', 'work horse', 'tough as nails'. The common theme here is obvious and some of our customers have gone a long way to prove how tough their Postie bike is.



These bikes go on the various organised postie challenges run around the country, they get punished every day of the week on postal runs, they're used as commuters, farm bikes (with or without Hi & Low range gearing) and paddock bashers alike - then there are the individuals that customise them and their motors wanting to push them to the limit, but the CT just keeps on going. There are various websites linked to the CT110 Postie Bike and now there is One Ten Motorcycles dedicated to keep them alive & running.
