Front and left hand side view. In the United States the 1980 model of CT110 lacked the dual range sub-transmission, but that feature returned in following years; the motorcycle was imported from 1980 to 1986. It is still in production and sold in other countries around the world, most notably Australia and New Zealand, where it is known as a "Postie Bike" due to its use by Australia Post and New Zealand Post as a delivery bike, without the dual range sub transmission. In Australia this also makes them the highest selling motorcycle in the country. A slightly modified version, the CT110 AG, is sold for agricultural use. The CT110AG has recently become road-registerable in Australia (2009), and has been road registerable in New Zealand for some time.
After almost 30 years of only being available via second-hand sale from Australia Post in bulk lots, Honda began selling the road-registerable model to the domestic market in July 2009.
Apart from the Australian market, large numbers of CT110 and CT90 models were also brought to Tanzania in east Africa, where many are still in use today. Among the original users was Danish aid organization Danida. During the late 1970s and 1980s they were the standard issue motorcycle for volunteers.
CT110s are well regarded for their extreme reliability, economy and ease of operation. The clutchless four speed transmission (centrifugal clutch) does not require a clutch lever. In Australia and New Zealand the freeing of the left hand of the rider makes mail delivery easier for postal workers, or "posties".
