In the mid/late sixties and early 70’s, Honda was busy. For one, they were developing and releasing arguably one of the most important motorcycles of all time, the CB750. Simultaneously, they were also putting a reliable, well-built engine into a series of purpose-built motorbikes. The single cylinder 90cc engine was the heart of their CL90, CT90, CD90, the iconic C90, and the S90.
The Honda S90 was Honda’s small displacement, lightweight sports bike. It was in production from 1964-1969 and featured the air-cooled 90cc single cylinder engine mentioned above, producing 8 horsepower. The frame was pressed steel rather than tubular to save weight and the transmission in the S90 was a 4-speed unit that was fitted to all the 90cc bike produced in these lines. The S90 didn’t come equipped with a tachometer, what it did have was suggested shift points on the speedometer.
This example is VIN: S90474384.
The odometer shows 2,167 miles, however the seller cannot confirm accuracy.
