1971 Honda Trail 90 (CT-90) review from United States of America
"Great toy, will keep it forever"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Have to clean the spark plug now and then, and have replaced the battery and recovered the seat. Also replaced fork seals. It still needs a muffler.
General comments?
This was my grandfather's hunting bike, so it's a keepsake. This is what people rode before the 3-wheelers and quad runners took over. It will go through anything. Has a 2-speed (high-low) gearbox and a three speed transmission. Low is LOW... made to go up STEEP hills. The bike is easy to ride, quiet, and fun to putt around on to the store or down a dirt trail. It's also really quiet, at idle it barely makes a sound.
