I saw on FB Marketplace someone in North Carolina selling some 2016 SuperCub 110s. Problem is she was asking almost $3,000 USD per bike, basically the same price as the more modern C125 and CT125 that are being sold right now in the USA.
I recommend a 1980s Honda Passport C70, they can be picked up for around $1,000 back in the USA.
Yeah, I have been looking at the CT110s in the USA too, rare but somewhat affordable and there are big bore kits to take the engine up in size. I have ridden the C125 and CT125s here in Cambodia, and they are more than fast enough to move along an American highway at 55 or 60 mph riding solo, some people seem to have success upgearing the sprockets a bit to help with this.
Another alternative is to find a wrecked Honda CRF110 dirtbike and do an engine swap with a postie or C70. The newer CRF110s are fuel injected, the same engine as the SuperCub 110 here in Southeast Asia. Could potentially build a DIY SuperCub 110 from a Honda Passport and a CRF110 engine for perhaps $2,500 with a lot of labor hours.

I wouldn't mind a postie bike either.
I recognize that the 125s are not the originals. But, a little more power doesn't hurt.
