At the beginning of the 60s, life was totally different from what we now know. Just to take an eye on the advertising spot of the Honda Ct Trail 55 That the Japanese firm was taken out of the sleeve, we can glimpse that nothing had to do with the thought and needs of the time with which they are currently prevailing in our society.
The publirreportaje that you can see in its entirety below, left no doubt about the philosophy of the CT Trail 55, but above all its capacity and efficiency in any circumstance and land. This gives us the rifle 300 Weatherby Magnum who had hung from the front of the small cyclomotor, the protagonists of this legendary advertising campaign.
Honda CT Trail 55: “Little but matona”
We do not know if the CT Trail 55 was designed in origin with the idea of becoming the ideal partner of hunting clients … probably not. However, the time has come to sell the model and make it known to their future buyers, the Honda came up with the brilliant idea of demonstrating that to go hunting, a huge off -road vehicle was not needed to use.
The CT Trail 55 gathered all the necessary requirements to reach anywhere, even the case, loading the piece dejected shortly before. While more than one may seem a bit sinister the image of a deer?
In one of the scenes of this video we can hear the narrator of the same exclaim: “As strong as five horses and ready for action just turning the wrist!” To tell the truth, he was not right. Although the small CT Trail 55 equipped a simple air -cooled propeller and associated with a 3 -speed automatic change, its 5 hp of maximum power gave a long way.
In addition, it had a cycle part prepared to face its mission efficiently, with a huge back plate, anchored to its posterior tire, presiding over its drag kit. The same that made us understand that this small offroad mount had been conceived to offer an additional plus of force, even reaching 45 mph of maximum speed.
All this for an official price of 275 dollars of the time, about 10,700 euros today, to change. However, this does not go from figures, rather how our society has evolved, where an announcement of this type would not be admissible. As if weapons no longer existed, or people did not go out to hunt … things of modernity and progress.
