Description

 

This is a 1971 Honda CT90 motorcycle finished in Scarlet red paint (paint code R2/C) with grey plastic trim on the side covers, airbox, and frame cover. It is powered by an 89cc four-stroke single cylinder engine with a dual-range 4-speed automatic transmission. This CT90 was sold new in Richmond, BC (an original dealer sticker remains attached to the rear fender, 51 years later!).

 

 

 

The seller recently acquired the CT90 and immediately tended to needed maintenance. He installed a new OEM muffler, a new battery and changed the oil. The seller also states that he overhauled the carburetor with a genuine Honda kit. Pictures of muffler and rebuilt kit part numbers are included in the gallery. The seller also shares that he stripped the inside of the fuel tank and recoated it with tank sealant and installed new fuel lines.

The motorcycle is currently registered for off-road use in the seller’s name - he believes himself to be the third owner of the vehicle. In order to be registered for inner city driving, the vehicle will need mirrors installed and a provincial inspection completed. The seller mentions the original mirrors are missing from the handlebars and are not included in the sale.

The CT90 was manufactured by Honda from 1966 to 1979. It was marketed to outdoorsmen in particular, because it can easily traverse a narrow trail with its compact, lightweight build, weighing only 180 lbs dry while its small step-through frame makes for easier dismounts. Additionally, the intake, air filter box, and exhaust are mounted high on the machine, with a snorkel dropping down to the carburetor, in anticipation of the driver crossing through streams of water. This bike can be used on city roads, however it has a top speed of 89 km/hr. The CT90 offers fuel economy of approximately 75 mpg.

The seller mentions that there is visible wear and tear on the bike; a crack in the carburetor cover, scuffs on the fenders, a crack in the detachable buddy seat leather. Pictures of the imperfections are included in the gallery.

 

 

 

The engine guard is chrome, and the handlebars fold in and clamp down under a quick-release lever for easier storage and transport. Beneath the detachable buddy seat sits a chrome luggage rack. Drivers foot pegs are mounted mid-ship, and passenger foot pegs can be folded in when not in use. Modification to the motorcycle is limited to the missing mirrors. The fuel tank is situated underneath the driver's seat. Braking for the 17” wire-spoke wheels is managed by both front and rear drums. The headlight bucket encases an 80-mph five-digit speedometer, and a turn indicator signal winker (no turn signals that might get knocked off in the woods). The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 1,867 miles.

The Honda CT90 is powered by an 89cc four-stroke aluminium single cylinder engine rated at 8 horsepower at 9500 rpm. It utilises a dual-range 4-speed automatic clutch and OHC final drive chain sending power to the rear wheel. It comes equipped with a manually activated 1.867:1 ratio reduction box for high/low gear options. The engine is mounted almost horizontally beneath a pressed steel frame. Steel bars descend from each side of the steering head to protect the head and cylinder cooling fins. Conventional telescoping-tube suspension is found at the fork, with a twin shock setup in the rear. A start-up and idle video can be found in the Gallery below.
