Bought this sweetheart at a yard sale last week. (pix)

[Gold Metal Flake]

1970 Honda CT-90.

1. That's a beauty

:)

[Gold Metal Flake]

2. Thanks!

One owner, just over 1200 miles. Last licensed in 1976. It has been exposed to weather, probably in a shed, but it cleaned up pretty good. Over half an inch of gunk in the fuel tank.

My first motorcycle.

3. I never would have guessed, looking at the photograph.

Enjoy, and take it slow for the first 500 miles, both for its benefit and yours :)

[Robb]

5. Now, now....

I think until it breaks 100cc, you can still call it a scooter. :)

Beauty, though. That's gonna be some ride. :thumbsup:

9. Its called a trail bike.

Cuz that's what its for. Tiny little motor, but it takes 50% grades according to the factory.

[Metta]

4. Sweet. I hope you wear a helmet.

10. But of course!

Need brain. Brain goood.

[Metta]

17. Yes, an ounce of prevention.

Too bad not everyone gets that.

[Floogeldy]

6. Totally groovy.

And what is that in the background? :)

8. Welll...

These days it's 460 powered.

20. Did you keep the tri-power?

Oh, man that is sweet. I also noticed the Mickey Thompsons behind the cycle in the picture...beautiful car (and bike). I'm quite jealous of both.

7. Cue the "Easy Rider" soundtrack!

Seriously, only 1200 miles on that? Sweet find!

[Gold Metal Flake]

11. Yeah, it was a surprise.

Funny thing was, this time Ms. OR was with me, and saw the whole thing happen. Usually I just bring things home with no warning.

:evilgrin:

[Katina]

12. Isn't that a moped?

don't get me wrong, I had more fun on a moped than riding on the back of a motorcycle. I like it. It looks like it would be a LOT of fun.

[pokerfan]

15. Nope, it's a Honda Trail-90

Very popular back in its day. Bunch of my friends had them and I wanted one but my dad bought me a used Yamaha 125 Enduro, which was probably too much bike for me at the time.

13. Looks like a real thigh-burner of an exhaust .... n/t

[Gold Metal Flake]

18. Not that bad when yer moving.

Putted around the culdesac until the old chain broke. But I ain't riding it in shorts.

[BrotherBuzz]

14. I played with a similar one - maybe a '68 or '69

Lots of fun if you haven't been on something bigger.

Can you still get parts for that thing?

[Gold Metal Flake]

16. Lots of parts available.

And collector's intrest has brought out reproductions of parts. The CT-110 and the CT-70s are also popular. Check this place out:

19. Cool..

... is that a 4-stroke?

My first bike was a Kawasaki 90, I went all over Fort Worth and surrounding fields on that thing :)

[Gold Metal Flake]

21. Yes, an itty bitty 4 stroke.

It's designed to be easy to ride, maintain and be reliable as hell. I've been watching for years to get a good deal on one.
