"Come on little buddy, you carried me a thousand miles, I'll push you 50 yards." You owed this to that wonderful little bike. You respect this machine!

We need more of this from Ari, he seems in his element, and it was so soothing and fascinating to watch.

This was hands down my favorite revzilla video ever. The alaska trip combined with this beautiful rebuild afterwards was amazing to enjoy.

Boy didn't the bike deserve this , born to ride again ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

As a person with a high level of mechanical sympathy I have to admit that I was so happy to see this video come up after the Alaska adventure. I always worry that good machines get left to rot after shows/series like that. Such an awesome feeling to get to see this bike made better than it was when it was first purchased and given a new lease on life.

I think it's incredible that Revzilla is creating these long-form videos without hammering us with product placements or injected advertising. This is well beyond 'moto-content', and turning into 'film'.

Makes me appreciate all the mechanical engineering that went into even such a small little bike!

this is the right thing to do. some bikes put you through hell, this one took you through hell, with you all the way she was loyal to you and it's beautiful to see it paid back in kind, thankyou Ɛ>

This is one of the best rebuild videos I've ever seen in my life. No extra noise, no wordy explanations, just learn by watching. You boys have done a lovely job. Please keep it up, and keep that relationship with kershaw so we can get more of these! (I'll go buy one of their knives if it means I get another one of these... Maybe a tw200 next?)

One of the coolest videos I’ve ever watched! That bike totally deserved it after a 1k ride and credit to whose ever idea it was to have 0 music or dialogue. Great machine work!

I rarely comment on a video here in YT. But in this case, i cant help but do. This is one of the best videos ive seen related to motorcycles. No pretentions. No drama. Just pure, all about the love for what he does. Thank you.

He is performing the overhaul with the precision of a well trained surgeon

I have to admit, this past week has been a great week for viewing RevZilla Videos! The 2-man team of Ari and his friend (sorry don't know his name) is simply amazing! I so enjoyed the "Alaska" trip video!!!! I'm 60 years old and can no longer ride like they did, but man was it an enjoyable video!!! Then, the "Dumb and Dumber" 400 mile Mini-Bike Trip! My back and butt are still hurting from just viewing that trip!!! Now, this Honda CT-90 Maintenace video! Each video by these two young men just keeps getting better and better!! These two guys are my heroes!!! Please, please keep it coming!!! My hat is off to both of you!!!

I have never seen the point in the whole ASMR idea - until now , that was the most therapeutic thing I have watched in years - calming for the petrol head soul , thank you for making this wonderful video

He really broke that thing down into its smallest constituent parts. He's a quantum mechanic.

The amount of work that went both into the frame off, and the video it's self was massive. I usually would not watch one this long from start to finish, but I did. Amazing work, and thank you.

I would love to see Ari do similar projects to some other “ordinary” bikes. Videos like this relate to most us in a way that sometimes the super bike and money is no limit projects do not. I gotta say that the team of Spenser, Ari, and Zack have me visiting RevZilla every week for video and audio content. The best connection between customers and vendor that I have experienced in a long time.

Here I’m thinking the whole time... “And this is a “simple” engine”. Great video Ari, this was awesome to watch you work. Would love to see more videos like this! Cheers

ASMR = Ari's Smooth Motorcycle Repair

Honda motorcycle engineering it's a work of art.

Man, this is one of the best, richest videos I’ve seen in quite awhile. The video itself (shooting and editing) are great, and impossible to not watch all the way through. Swirling around and above the whole experience, though, are so many thoughts, not only of Ari’s skill and knowledge, but also of human ingenuity and the centuries of development leading up to the design of that deceptively “simple” machine. It also brings renewed fascination with the notion that a group of engineers, factory designers, accountants and financial backers, and workers could team up to produce that machine at the current equivalent of around four thousand dollars. Another cup of coffee and I’m sure there’s a whole world of religion, intelligent design, what-are-the-odds lines of thought to explore. Finally, aren’t we fortunate that all of Anthony’s great product videos helped drive the success of Revzilla to the point that the company can now feature the creative works of Ari, Zack, and their cohorts in all of their productions.

How incredible to see that lovely old CT brought back to her glory. She’s ready for another 25,000 miles and another 46 years of bringing a smile to her rider’s face. Well done Ari. Thank you for sharing this.

This is the essence of anti consumerism, keeping well made items running indefinitely with such mechanical sympathy, it’s how I want to live my life.

Big props to the person which idea it was to do this acoustic, meaning no sound just environment sounds. Stunned by the detailed shots and cuts. Wonder if he out it together just by memory

This may sound weird. This actually made me tear up. Only motorcycle people would truly understand this. Best video I've seen in years.

The amount of engineering in these engines is amazing.

After watching the Alaska video, this was exactly what I wanted to see! All the different cuts and camera angles, so much work went into filming and editing, I bet rebuilding the bike was the easy part!

Wonderful watching a master craftsman at work. I love this video format, no chatter or annoying music. Just awesome. Thank you for letting us watch you give this bike a second life.

Extra appreciation to that new spark plug boot for those who watched the special first

This video has so many memories coming back to me for the CT. I learnt to ride on the exact same bike 46 years ago. I was 10. Christmas Day. It was brand new. I would spend hours in the shed just starting & running it through the gears on the center stand. I still remember the first real lesson, whiskey throttling across the paddock with my dad on the rack on the back & the front wheel heading for the sky. We had a dairy farm so the CT had to work morning & night getting the cows in, but through the day it was mine. I was so small, still only 162cm now. I could not start off by myself so my dad, an inventive sort, would stand the bike up after milking with two pieces of wood propping the bike up at the rack. I would start it & ride off, the wood would just fall to the ground & I was free. After maybe hours I would blow the horn for my dad, having come home for lunch, to catch me as I went past. I would ride the bike with the seat up, sitting on top of the fuel tank filler. With a full tank the breather would spit fuel out. I remember having a nasty rash but it didn’t matter. It was a hard life for the little CT & it was rebuilt many times by my dad, & latter by me. Fixing stuff turned into my profession. Memory is a strange thing. So much off what I saw in the video, components, disassembly & the memories above from all those years ago came flooding back. The little CT was the start of a life long affair with bikes. Not at all what the video was meant to be about, but it truly found for me a soft spot in my heart.

Some people just make stuff look easy... This is one of those videos. Thank you for keeping this little one on the road.

The camerawork, soundwork, and attention to detail was off the charts, nicely done--and that engine sounded so crisp!!

I'm so stoked to have seen this bike run north like that! And you completely overhauled it after!?!? RevZilla, this is crazy. I was the one who sold you the bike, and my friends and I have been geeking out on the last couple of episodes. Stoked.

One of the best videos I’ve ever seen on KZfaq, in any category. And the complexity of one of the “simplest “ motorcycles of all time is humbling - incredible engineering and a fantastic, loving rebuild. Bravo

Am I the only one considering this absolutely exciting like a friggin substance??!! Also, I might be wrong still learning, the only change required was a change of the piston head, a fresh boring. Everything else was thoroughly cleaned and lubed. Analog machines are truly amazing, I did watch the Alaska ride. Absolutely unbelievable, after all that a trail bike requires only this amount of servicing?? Seems like Modern-day bikes are just business while motorcycles back then served their purpose in the long run. Absolute marvel!

Best thing I've watched in ages, these "things" that take us on adventures, deserve looking after.....

This rebuild was mesmerizing to watch, the clinks, drills and fluids were all the music this needed. My absolute full respects to Ari, he always explains things so clearly and even though here he does not speak a word, he just did it again. Thanks for all his knowledge and bringing back that Trail 90 to its fullest again.

It's great to see the little T90 back to running. Would love to hear thoughts about how it feels now, compared to on the Alaska trip. That little bike has a lot more trips in her.

One of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen. I had no idea Ari was such a skilled mechanic. This gave me a whole new respect for him and this channel. Amazing stuff.

"Because a bike with this much spirit, deserves a second chance!".........Amen!

This was so satisfying to watch, especially after knowing what that poor bike went through. She deserved a total rebuild.

The part where Ari covers the rip in the seat while scrubbing is a total class move showing the little 90 some love. This is the motorcycle equivalent of ... lucky dog.

I love man who can respect machinery. Not only doing maintenance, but respect them

Best production skills I've ever seen in any KZfaq video. For me, this truly demonstrates the "Zen" of motorcycle maintenance.

Utterly mesmerised by this. You’re onto something here. I thought about suggesting adding captions but then I thought even reading would be a distraction for your eyes and ears. I love hearing Ari talk but I’m a visual learner. If there was talking over this, my brain would just get scrambled and there’s no way I’d be able to concentrate as much as without it. Superb. I love it. Please do more!

Very nice! Now for another 50 years of quality riding👍💯

Great to see that little workhorse get a good rebuild, she deserved it.

I cannot express how great it is to watch a video like this with no music at all. The sound of the rebuild is the best soundtrack. Well done. PS How do you keep all the parts organized?

This was the best, most relaxing yet interesting motorcycle video I've watched in a long time. There is something indefinable about watching someone at the top of their game working on a simple, but incredibly well-built little machine.

Ready for another 50 years! Ct 90 The most reliable bike ever made, damn near bomb proof

I just bought a 1978 CT90 with 585 original Kilometers on it. A Department of Fisheries unit that's been in the back of the warehouse for 45 years!!! I'm more than excited!

Congratulations to The Filming Crew!!, What a Painstaking process to show the different angles with all what implied moving the lighting equipment and parts around to get the final product!! Totally Awesome!!

This is probably the closest I will ever come to a complete meditative state. Sheer brilliance, I won't even be disappointed if this is the only video you make like this. It was particularly enjoyable because I saw this little thing do the mammoth journey as well! Great job !

5:46 - The piston is showing clear signs that the engine has been running hot. The 89.5cc version of the supercub engine is under-cooled and piston seizures are common if you run WOT for long periods. If you want your CT90 to run cooler, fit an oil pump from an ATC110 or 125, as they push about twice as much oil around the engine.

Probably now the best running Trail 90 out there!

I know I'm not the only one to sit and watch every minute of this and absolutely loved it.

Awesome: Mechanical abilities Editing Camera Angle Lighting Sound I've never seen such a well put together video!

I BOUGHT A 1975 SS50 WHICH HAD DONE 49,000 ,1 OWNER, IT SMOKED A LITTLE SO MY FRIEND ALLAN, DID ALL THE ENGINE UP. NEW PISTON ,HEAD, FULL GASKET SET ,FULL SERVCE. IT WAS LIKE RIDEING A NEW BIKE ,JAPAN'S MR HONDA WAS FANTASTIC , THE HONDA C50 WAS THE MOST SOLD MOTORBIKE EVER .

Good morning to you! I am Cross Cub grandpa from Japan and sharing Cross Cub video. Your restore video is awesome!! So great job ! Have a nice day friend !

As amazing as it was to watch him disassemble and rebuild this engine and bike, the engineering that went into creating it is simply incredible.

No music No comments Just perfect! It could have been even a bit longer indeed ! Thanks for the fabulous video

Just awesome to see! Love the story of its adventure and now more to be had! Thank you

Great respect to you and the bike ! I really enjoyed both the video of the trip and this rebuild. That little bike had a big heart. Respect !!!!

*Me before watching this episode:* I know i can split the case on my Multistrada 1200 and get it back together. *Me after watching how complex a little Honda 90 engine is:* ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT

First thing I thought: "oh it's a bit long, not gona have time to watch it all"...here I am 35min later. Enjoyed every second!

A real testament to the grin factor that these indestructible bikes deliver.

Love this type of content. So peaceful and soothing to watch.

While I generally enjoy your commentary and learn something in your episodes there was something very therapudic watching this one.

As a fellow “tinkerer” I just wanted to say thanks for this satisfying and well put together video.

One of the most relaxing videos I've seen in a while 🙂

110% better from just a good thorough wash but absolutely loved seeing the old gal get freshen up! Good for another 40+ years!

Fantastic video. I for one would love to see more like this. Well done!

I understand the encompassing spirit of the 'CT', and what it means to those who experienced it. Some say it is the moment of having an epiphany, realisation of embracing 'Zen.' For me it started my adventure bike journeys, the little 'CT' took me along quiet back roads, forestry trails all from studied maps and a hand written map route taking me miles away from home. Taking me away after sunrise, and bringing me home after dark. Fond memories from a great little bike. Pleased that Ari decided to revive and restore the spirit that so many of us still have within.

Thanks RevZilla for this content and presentation format! Ari, you always amaze! Pure respect!

You think WOW this bike is almost 50 years and the inner parts with the exception of the piston look mint. Honda is really the leader in reliability.

I *loved* that I could sit down, watch this process in its entirety with no ads, and not have it be a six part mini-series. The “shop-silence” was my favorite part. Thx for rescuing her. Good work.

My dad was probably in his late 60’s early 70’s when he bought one of these and used it to get to his hunting spots. I basically grew up on the back of this bike as a youngster (I was an adopted grandson). He had a scabbard on the side for his rifle and he would haul a chainsaw on the back if he needed to clear a trail. He eventually bought me an ST90 to tag along behind him once I outgrew my Suzuki 60. He sold both right before he died. The guy he sold it to offered to sell it back to me but never would give me a number and that was it. So if anyone bought one of these from the St. Louis area, you might have my dads old work horse. Great videos, they brought back a lot of memories of my dad, thanks for that. Cheers

Surprisingly meditative and wonderful to watch after the Alaska adventure. Well done!

A real pleasure to watch. Thank you for the video and thank you for restoring this little guy. Respect all around.

This resonated with me. I am the same age, I rebuilt classic Japanese things in the evenings with the same go to vessel screwdriver and level of natural restoration. I just took my dads 1968 CT90 out of the rafters in his garage this evening and going to get it back on the road.

I was mesmerized watching… soothing sounds for the soul. I was 50 years younger again and riding my CT70.

Loved this too! Knowing what the bike had gone through, glad to see it rebuilt and given the care and respect it deserves!

Good on you! Fantastically done video with no filler in the background! This was so relaxing and comfortable to watch....that old bike deserved the attention she got after that grueling Alaska trip! Bless your souls! Thank you for this!

Wow, strangely enough, one of the most enjoyable videos I have ever watched. Especially, after being somewhat connected to that bike through your videoed Alaskan trip with Zack. It is kind of like paying back all the effort it gave to you on the trip. It gave its all, and so did you Ari. 🙏

So torn. I love the filmography of this video but I’d also love to hear Ari talk about what he’s doing/thinking. Love his voice!

Ari, What an Awesome ride and a great rebuild on that Trail 90... I wish I had your skills!

This kind of video is what I always wanted, it's relaxing & informative. You guys should do more, even with short duration is fine

That thing you didn't know you needed but now you can't live without? Yes, this video right here

Big smile from me at the end when the CT90 breathes back to life and purrs down the road.

so happy to see this little machine get some love!

Absolutely awesome!!! Love that you guys rebuilt it after such a long journey and connection with the bike.

This was chicken soup for the soul. Loved every minute of it - it didn’t feel like 35 minutes long. Thank you, Ari! It was pleasure to see your passion and experience in motion. The silence and the sounds of shop work really heightened the senses.

The purpose of maintenance is peace of mind. The machine is right when the mind of the mechanic is at peace, they come to that place together... to paraphrase Robert Pirsig. This was peaceful throughout, that bike had no choice but to thrive under Ari's careful attention.

Ready for another adventure!! Love y’all’s videos and appreciate all the gear and parts I’ve ordered throughout the years thank you

It is just beautiful, I have no other words! Keep up the excellent work!

I was really hoping Ari would do this at the end of the "1,000 Miles Across Alaska" adventure. So glad he kept it out of the salvage yard! Hope we get to hear some details about this on the next HS/LS!

I'm 59 and when I was about 15-16 my buddy had one of these his dad got for us to hack around on. We lived in the country so we basically used it as a trial bike. You simply could not kill that bike. I mean we hammered the living shit out of it and it just kept on keeping on. Every time I see one I smile and think about that bike. Oh and that buddy, we're still good friends to this day :)

After the tough time the little bike went through on that incredible journey, I am so glad you decided to give the little guy some love. I have owned many Honda C50's and C70's in my time, but never owned a 90cc machine. They were all fantastic machines that were just about impossible to kill. I had one C50 that I used, passed on to my Father in law, who had it for a while. It went 'round the clock' back to zero and he gave me it back when he bought a new one. I then passed it on to a work colleague who wanted it for his son to learn to ride and it was still going a long time after that. Such a joy to watch you do the rebuild, so comforting to see. Hope you're keeping the bike to take on more adventures. Norm, UK.

I enjoyed both videos, thank you guys.
