1963

The 1963 Honda Trail 55, Model CA105T and C105T was also manufactured in 1964, with essentially no change in common characteristics. The Honda parts listing always mentions the CA105T or the C105T as a 1963 and does not mention any other years. The year designation found on state titles or registrations usually refers to the year in which the CA105T or C105T were first sold. Production and dealer ordering (often controlled by American Honda) sometimes left CA105T's and C105T's on dealer showroom floors into the following years. We have seen several cases of CA105T's and C105T's with titles stating a year into the middle 1960's. This was the first year of the up swept exhaust, which combined with the already high air intake on the top of the frame down tube, allowed CT's to cross deeper streams easily. This year, Honda used an all chrome front fender from another model.
