Frequently Asked Questions
A Honda farm bike is a two wheel motorcycle built specifically for farm work in New Zealand conditions. The range includes step through models like the XRM125 and CT125, all round XR farm bikes, and versatile CRF farm and trail models.
Compared with a typical road bike, Honda farm bikes are set up for low speed control, rough paddocks and farm tracks. Features like off road tyres, protective guards, carry racks, farm gearing and large fuel tanks are designed around day to day farm jobs rather than commuting or touring.
The best farm bike for you depends on terrain, rider experience and the work you need it to do:
Flatter farms and lifestyle blocks, short or learner riders
Step through models such as the XRM125 or CT125 suit frequent on and off, multiple riders and shorter farm workers, thanks to low seat heights and easy mounting.Mixed terrain and general farm work
XR models like the XR150L and XR190 are proven all round farm bikes. They are lightweight, nimble and comfortable for long days checking stock, shifting breaks and running between sheds.Hilly country and farm/trail crossover
CRF models such as the CRF250F and CRF300F provide extra power and suspension for more technical terrain or where you also want a bike for off farm trail riding.
Your local Honda dealer can match a bike to your farm size, terrain and rider skill and can arrange a demo ride on the models you are considering.
Step through farm bikes (XRM125, CT125 Farm)
Designed for easy mounting and dismounting with a low step through frame. Ideal where multiple riders share a bike, or where quick on and off is common around gates and sheds. They offer good carrying capacity and are popular on flatter country and dairy farms.XR farm range (XR150L, XR190)
Classic two wheel farm workhorses. They combine light weight with strong, reliable engines and farm ready features such as off road tyres, carry racks and farm gearing. They suit a wide range of farms, from dairy to drystock, and are often used as the main farm bike.CRF farm and trail models (CRF250F, CRF300F)
Higher capacity off road style bikes with strong suspension and fuel injected engines. They suit bigger riders, hill country and owners who want a bike that can work on farm during the week and explore trails in their time off.
Some Honda farm bikes can be registered for road use, while others are sold primarily for off road farm use. For example, the CT125 Farm is able to be road registered, which makes it suitable for trips on public roads.
Honda farm bikes are known for reliability and low maintenance running. Honda has been supplying farm machines to New Zealand for over 50 years, and the two wheel farm range is built around proven four stroke engines and practical, durable designs.
Service life on farm will depend on terrain, workload, servicing and rider behaviour, but many Kiwi farms run Honda bikes in demanding conditions for years. Regular servicing with genuine parts and following the service schedule will help maximise engine life and keep downtime low.
Honda recommends regular servicing based on time or hours of use, including engine oil and filter changes, checks of brakes, tyres, chain, air filter and general fasteners. Following the schedule in the owner’s manual and using a Honda dealer or qualified technician will help keep the bike safe and reliable.
Farm use is harder on a motorcycle than normal road riding. If your bike works in mud, dust or on steep country, more frequent air filter cleaning, chain adjustment and inspections are a good idea. Your local Honda dealer can tailor a service plan to your farm conditions and usage.
Honda Motorcycles NZ, through Honda Rider Finance powered by UDC, offers a range of finance options that can be used on many new Honda motorbikes, including eligible farm models. Farmers can often choose between different structures and promotional offers when available.
Finance availability, deposit requirements and interest rates do change over time, so the best step is to talk with your local Honda dealer. They can explain the current Honda Rider Finance options for farm bikes and help you choose an option that suits your cashflow.
Honda farm bikes are designed with farm safety in mind. Depending on the model, features can include:
Low step through frames and seat heights on models like the XRM125 and CT125 to make mounting and dismounting easier for a range of riders
Strong brakes, with disc brakes front and rear on some models, and ABS on the CT125 for added braking stability
Farm protection items such as hand guards, mud protection and engine guards on selected models
Lighting and modern digital instruments to keep you informed when working early, late or in poor visibility
Riders should always wear appropriate safety gear and follow best practice guidelines for using two wheelers on farm.
Honda has a nationwide dealer network with over 50 dealerships in key farming regions from the far north to the deep south. Your local dealer can arrange a demo ride, provide pricing, explain current offers and finance, and help you choose the right farm bike for your property.
After purchase, the dealer can handle servicing, parts and warranty support. Many Honda dealers are long standing members of their rural communities and understand local farming needs, which helps ensure you get practical advice and backup when you need it.
