1990 Honda C90 Cub review from United Kingdom
"A remarkable machine"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
It has had a battery, exhaust pip and a headlight bulb. I have changed the rear suspension bushes and it has had 2 chains and 1 sprocket set.
The seat is cracking and it is going rusty, but it gets used every day, no matter what the weather.
General comments?
I love my little 90. It has been so reliable and cheap to run. It handles poorly, stops eventually and wouldn't pull your hat off. But it always starts and runs really well.
I use it to commute on everyday, come rain, shine or snow. I do do a bit of low speed touring on it, and have covered over 100 miles in a day on several occasions, albeit slowly, but hey, where's the fire!
It's been a good little bike and has earnt me 4 years of protected no claims. I just hope I've not been too late with the Wax Oil...
