Hire one when on holiday in Malta back in the 80s. Shop we hired it from forgot to tell us about the gears, we thought it was an automatic until one of us had to get off and bush the other up a hill Lots of fun, would have one now.

I sincerely trust Mrs Local has been showered with wondrous gifts after granting you permission to purchase your collection.. If not, then I hear bread makers or Hoovers go down well... Or so I heard ,.. Only kidding... Looking forward to a great driving and biking year ..👍

Most of my mates had these bikes in the early 80s to take off road on the coal slag heaps, if i remember right there was c50, 70, 90 and 120 , great fun

It's a legendary bike - bullet proof, and got millions around the world to work, play , etc People tour around the world on them.

We have cg-125s here instead of cubs or super cubs. They're literally everywhere. Older original hondas and later indian copies. And they're the first and only thing that I tell anyone who wants to start driving to be aware of the most, running red lights, coming wrong direction into traffic at night with no lights, speeding in sidewalks, etc.

My mate used to bomb round on one of those back in the mid 80s. Used to be so badly abused it was unreal. but kept on going. They still 3 speed.? And are they still called "chicken chaser's" 😆 🤣 😂

Had one of these in my 'yoof'. End up using it as a pit bike. Scraped the leg shields along the bottom edges. Used the 'funny gear change' to do wheelies. And eventually broke the monocoque frame in half after one too many heavy jump landings! 😮 It was never in great condition, but wish I still had it.

Famous last words "this will be the last motorbike I'll buy for a while"

beautiful bike,, got one myself lovely

Brilliant. I was 16 in 85 and remember these very well. My old man had one for a while when he was working at, you’ve guessed it, the local factory. Can’t say I ever wanted one. We hopped on the fizzy and then onto 125 dirt bikes as soon as we were able. Remarkable mpg though. I often wonder if folk were more oriented to using vehicles like this how much fuel we could have saved over the last 30 years. Nowadays, everyone in the house has a car and they all use them in isolation to drive 500 yards to buy some polos. Rant over. Great video. Back to the IAM research 😁

Love my C90. Perfect for the Irish back roads. Ive also a 1250 GS but enjoy them both equally. When you stop at a junction in 3rd pushing forward on gear lever again will put bike straight into neutral and then pop it into first. Saves going back down the gears. Fantastic channel by the way Reg.

The old C90: tremendous fun, bullet-proof reliability and an engine that seems to run on thin air. What's not to like?

I had 3 of them in the 80,s when I was doing The Knowledge of London Changed them every year after 16000 miles Great bike and fond memories I had a clip board on the front with the roads and points I had to learn!! Been driving a cab in London now for 25 years but sadly after Uber etc finally stopped but great memories Have fun on yours

Always a good idea to use non Chinese inner tubes much less prone to punctures

You chuckled all the way through that and so did I😂 I'm not a bike rider but like classic cars and have a 1955 Standard 10 and I laugh a lot when I'm driving that along with concentration overload when you get above 50mph!! I think it makes you a better driver because you need to plan ahead as the last thing you want is to loose momentum!!

Just bought a1969 Honda super cub CM91... Cannot wait for spring!!!

Your AJS tribute struck a chord with me Reg as I also lost my Dad fairly recently and have bought a Tiger 900 in his memory as he used to ride a Triumph in his youth. I've been without a bike for a few years and have started ROSPA training, your videos have been invaluable. Please keep them coming.

I bought my Honda 50 in 1963 and got 200+ mpg, what a great set of bikes!

You're living the life, Reg. Doing what you love and experiencing all these amazing vehicles. Keep doing what you're doing!

Great video Reg, giggling all the way through it, put a smile on my face!! 😂

My first and only motorbike experiences were on one of these - or at least the Yamaha equivalent which was called a town mate and had a shaft drive. My mate's grand dad had one and had passed away so we set about trying to ride it, my first attempt ended with it wheelieing out from under me as struggled with the gear change and I chased it down the road upright and still wheelieing! First thing we did was to remove the naff plastic foot guard "for weight saving innit", I also remember how the front suspension was wierd in that it had a linkage which cause the front end to rise slightly when braking. My mate later got a Kawasaki KZR which was a much more modern take on these, 110cc, disc brakes and telescopic shocks up front, it was actually as fast as an average car up to about 40mph.

I did my motorcycle test in the bad old days on a C90 and I did OK on the emergency stop.

I'm picking up a c90 next week from a pal of mine. It's a fixer upper but I can't wait. Funny enough I noticed your Dorothy's Speedshop sticker. I live 5 minutes away from the Speedshop.

great video mate love it,looking forward to future c90 video,s,greetings from birkenhead town wirral merseyside

I've a 1980 c70 in aqua blue round headlight 6v I've had 11 off them in the last 35 years always preferred 6v u could pick them up for 50 quid in the eighty's mine set me back eighteen hundred 3 years ago going up in value all the time last owner restored to as new condition I don't use it I just like owning a peice off history legend of a bike.👍

Beautiful countryside, and sounds like you had a fun ride. Like you say, they just put a smile on your face, although I have the new C125 not the older one. But it puts a smile on my face and it seems to evoke the same reaction from other people too. I get a great smile when I fill the tank and pay with coins from my jeans fob pocket! I'll be watching your videos with interest 👍🇦🇺

Love it. You don’t need a gazzilon pound bike have fun 😀

I was a bit worried at first I thought maybe you’ve been wearing your helmet too tight. But after an hour you convinced me it is a lot of fun. I could not part with 2000 quid but like you for the right price I could be converted. Although I did notice in that video you forgot to deliver the pizza

Absolute weapon

it should have a positive neutral stop in top tap the lever then into 1st

The traction control light was going crazy at 13:51 😉

My fist bike, i kicked the living crap out of mine, but i loved it.

I have the 2019 super cub it's brilliant also have cbf1000 but use the cub more 😳

I have one of those,now it is 150cc but i bought the 50cc model

So Nice please

Great little machines those.

Hi i have an 85 electric start model but as you say i kick start it. The gear change i found a challenge when going down. My wife cant understand why i bought it ! Btw a proper set of leg shields aren’t £30.

What are the differences between a c90 economy and a c90 super cub

Nope livi ng in thailand C90 hard to find,all drive Honda wave yamaha fino....lucky u have one i would to have one.

Is this bike hond c 90 avaiable in pakistan karachi

My friend had this same bike in 88 until some nice person stole it and burnt it out on the playing field .

Ed marsh is the toughest barstard i know

Is this a classic yet? Forgive my ignorance if it is.

Send me price honda bike c90

Send me price honda bak

well 13,20 in you would have failed your test, gears, bike sympathy, and indicators. lol

Not very good riding Reg. At one stage (almost half-way through the video) you turned right at a stop sign and left your right turn indicator on for miles. A sure way to meet a bad end. For a guy who rides a 1250 cc BMW and big Honda, you should know better.

Great to see you having fun. Well you have the solution to spiralling fuel costs. If my brain has it the right way round: If you are always going to use super which burns slower (?) then you can advance the ignition a touch. From KZfaq the ignition setting appears to be with covers off so I'm thinking you can't do it with the engine running. I'm assuming you have the points ignition and not electronic. Enjoy! m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j96orNCiq7XIf3U.html Also (I see the C90 distributer is not like a car so don't think you can adjust while running as in bits of this car write up. . .) classicmechanic.blogspot.com/2011/05/ignition-timing-with-modern-fuels.html?m=1 A good initial way to do it is to set the timing for the smoothest idle. Then see if it pinks anywhere as you accelerate through the rev range. Keep quiet on all this of course, then you will be ahead on the run in Wales . If it doesn't work then just keep quiet anyway (Now delete this comment)
