1991 Honda C90 Cub review from United Kingdom
"Excellent town tool, but very prone to theft"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Absolutely nothing. Only needed a replacement left front indicator. This was due to the bike falling over.
General comments?
The engine has excellent spread of torque. This allows top gear to be used in a variety of traffic conditions.
The engine pulls very well with two up.
The brakes, despite being drums, are impressive.
The enclosed chain never seemed to stretch.
The twelve volt electrical system with the electric start was excellent.
Only down side to this bike, was the pathetic 3.5 liter fuel tank. This necessitated filling up every ninety miles or so (every three to four days for me).
The ride was smooth and performance was adequate to put some other scooters to shame.
This legendary step-thru with its admired reputation for reliability, robustness etc, is very prone to theft as I and several mates unfortunately found out.
