2 wheeled shite- Ancient honda c90 for sale


Recommended Posts

My old c90. The pretty round headlight model. The all important frame is completely solid. It's in regular use and runs like it should. Everything works bar the kickstart- the splines are worn, so needs a shim or or a pin or something. Thanks to the low compression of these engines you can bump start it just by tickling it. 

 

MOT runs out today and I've got a bit of a lack of mojo to do anything with it, as I really need to get a geared 125 to do my bike test. Taxed for a year though. 

 

I reckon for the MOT it'll need a chain guard (although depends on the MOT tester) and the throttle assembly spins a bit on the handle bars- it'll probably just need the clamp tightening but the bolts are rounded... Nothing major but I just can't muster the enthusiasm at the moment. 

 

What else? New tyres, new battery, new rectifier.... £4 worth of fuel included. 

 

I'm after £350. If I don't get that I'll probably squirrel it away. I'd also consider trades for 50cc things with a twin seat, 125's, a diesel estate (especially bx's) or a light van (especially c15's). 

 

Sorry for the rubbish photos.

I love these, and have fond memories of near death with added wheelies (unintentional) with Dugong as pillion.

Not that helped anything here, but good luck with the Sale !

I started my two wheeled career on a Plazzy, albeit in 70cc format. I think you can put a 110cc engine out of a Jinlung Chopperbong Cheech & Chong Haicheese Madness straight into these for more power*

Chinese engines wont fit the 6v 90 frames without modification. Will fit the 6v 50/70 though. I like the look of the early models but the 6v 90cc had a reputation for being unreliable. Engine parts getting tricky now too apparently. Holy grail would be a c90 c. Early looks but 12v cdi engine.

My opinion would be strip it and put it in the attic. Drag it out in 20/30 years when they have all but rusted. 350 is very cheap for this too.

Cheers for the comments, looks as though I may have found a place to store her for the winter so I may be putting this ad on hold...  :-D
