Surprised if you found a picture, they are normally buried under fridges, pigs, ten children and wardrobes

Nothing wrong with a C90. Many, many years ago I had a 1978 C90 in red  8)

Nooooooo.... my mates had these, we called them "clunks" around here. I had a DT50 and never felt the love for a clunk. One of my mates has recently got one and restored it. There are NEW Chinese copies around, he has a new Chinese 125 engine in it with the original Honda engine casings on it as they're a direct fit so to look at it you wouldn't know. He says it's proper scary

Had a C70, we called them 'Chicken Chasers' lol, trying to pop a wheelie was a laugh.

That does look seriously clean, like brand new straight out the crate clean, I'd expect nothing less to meet your standards though but it has to raise the question.... it's not a brand new Indian/Chinese model with Honda stickers is it? ;-)


Has it ever even been ridden? What year? or am I being impatient? I'm sure all will be revealed soon enough.

I am already on edge , don’t do this to me, It’s allegedly an August 1988 2,300 mile bike , three owners, been in a private collection.. there is a bit to be done by me, some definite patina here and there but I guess that could be cheap Chinese parts crumbling ...might explain the more modern top box and rack though ..
Was Still cheaper than the new Super Cub 125

Not seen inside the chain guard but This would appear to be the biggest cleaning issue, under the engine,  not bad for 32 years old ..
