The break in mileage is 600mis. The bike would be considered in new condition. The 2nd bike is a 1968 Yellow Honda CT-90 with 3,789 original miles. These motors are indestructible and all original parts are still available. I completlely went through both bikes last year. New light bulbs, new headlamps, spark plugs, oil change, carberators, etc...Both bikes have buddy seats for carrying passengers. The offer also includes extra bike parts, original owners manual and original shop manual. The red bike has the original 1971 license plate. These bikes can be ridden on the road. Both bikes have no clutch and shift easily with 4 gears. The bikes also have an additional four low gears for serious off road riding for a total of eight gears overall. Call or text. No emails. When these items are sold I will take the posting down immediately.The history of the bikes.......The Honda CT90 was a small step-through motorcycle manufactured by Honda from 1966 to 1979. It was offered in 2 models - "Trail" or "X" with the main variations being gear ratios and tyre style. Perhaps 1 of Honda's hidden success stories, this bike sold well worldwide and has a faithful following to this day and has become collectable.The CT90 "Trail 90" was preceded by the CT200 "Trail 90" which featured a dual-sprocket in the rear, wherein to shift to the low range the operator clipped an extra length of chain into the drive and ran it over a double-size rear-sprocket. The CT200 had an 87cc iron-head pushrod OHV engine, instead of the CT90's 89cc alloy head OHC . There were also earlier trail models of smaller displacement, including the C105T Trail 55.Early overhead cam CT90 models also featured the dual sprocket setup rather than the sub-transmission of all later models.Market[edit source | editbeta]Honda targeted hunters, fishermen, commuters and outdoorsmen with the Trail 90. Early ads often featured these bikes in wilderness settings, and they were very well suited for narrow trails, being small, lightweight (around 188 lbs) and with a forgiving suspension. It was ideal for climbing and carrying packs. The four-stroke engine was quiet and almost all models were equipped with spark-arrestor exhausts.While targeted at off-road uses, this was not a dirt bike in the conventional sense. They could be registered for road use, and had a top speed in hi-ratio road gear of around 55 mph (89km/h). Fuel economy was excellent, often around and above 100mpg. In local commuter traffic, they were extremely maneuverable, though they were poorly-suited for highway travel due to limited power, off-road-biased tires, and top speed.The CT90 in its classic form was an 89cc 4-stroke air-cooled single with a 4 gear transmission and an automatic clutch, coupled with a 1.867:1 ratio reduction box switched into operation using a small lever under the transmission case. The cylinder was nearly horizontal in the step-through tube/stamping frame. The fork was originally a leading link suspension, replaced in 1969 with conventional telescopic-tube suspension.Call or text. No emails.
