Same story here on the chain guard


It's cracked but I can get you a new one.


I believe the petrol tank has been repainted in it's life but I am not sure.


I also believe the covers were resprayed, but again, not sure.

Lots of fun actually, 10,500 rpm redline and with a short geared 4 speed it has more pep than people expect.

Honda Super Cub 90 (round headlamp style). ***sold***
2004, **kick start only** (very easy to start honestly, I'm 57 kg and I have no issues with lashback or tired legs. It's only 88cc)

**Picture representative of style, not the actual bike**

Color, suspension setup, seat layout, headlamp/light style etc is this model shown.



Frame up restoration.

Cosmetics:
Freshly painted this month, finished with an automotive grade paint. This was not a simple respray, rather, the frame was stripped, sanded and finished properly from the ground up. The paint alone was $115 a liter and unlike other repainted bikes here, it was finished with 8 layers of primer/paint/clearcoat, all properly mixed, dried, and applied.

Then for that little extra something, the inner fenders and inner frame area were sanded and coated with a rubberized undercoating (the same stuff they use on cars to prevent future rust, which admittedly this Cubs are susceptible to). There were two 2-3 mm rust spots on the rear fender that I had to sand and fill in, but other than that, the frame was straight and perfect from the start.

Mechanical:
Rebuilt engine, stripped to the cases.
High compression 1mm overbore piston fitted with Honda Thailand piston rings.
Every mating surface was milled, every gasket and seal replaced.
Brand new Japanese clutch installed as well.

Misc:
Carburetor (genuine Keihin was rebuilt with new slide, needle, gasket, jets and float)
All of the light lenses were replaced, but Taiwanese (expensive Taiwanese, not Chinese knock offs) were used as they were the only ones available. Triple the price of the cheap Chinese parts.
Tires are Yokohama Thai made tires and brand new tubes as well.
Drive chain is a D.I.D. 420 pitch chain and geared up for LOW RPM cruising. If you want a quicker bike, I'll replaced it at no charge with a smaller set if you desire.
The turn signal relay was replaced with a Taiwanese unit (the used Japanese version kept failing).

Asking price $1,400. ***sold***


That's all, any question feel free to PM me.

Nice!
Are you going to import vintage scoots to USA?

No thanks, .

I think the closest I'll get is imported a handful of classic 12v Japanese Super Cub 90s for myself and that'll be that. Americans in general really don't seem interested in such "motorcycles" like Cubs and/or scooters like imported Vespas, but those that know about them, love them to death.

the VN vespas are def a no go. LOL, know what i sayin?
i was thinking more like the above.
maybe even a mobilette or so!
then you are dealing.

portland, seattle

i think micro transport will grow a lot in the trendy/poor/lifestyle parts of usa where snow does not factor.
the american 4 wheeler is starting to be replaced in urban areas by micro transport.

there is a big battery factory coming online in nevada- i think- the tesla plant - elon musk ya know.

there has been a tremendous uptake of electric 2 wheelers in the past 5 years, and good batteries will drive it further.

sorry to hijack your thread!

Honestly, while I know the US complains a lot about fuel prices and such, I really doubt that two wheelers are ever going to be seen as anything more than eco toys. I get 19 mpg in my Civic, 10 mpg in my Tundra, and 14 in my 4Runner, and it's never once made me seriously think twice about swapping it out for a more fuel efficient vehicle, let alone a two wheeler as a daily driver (and remember, I am a motorcycle freak). Reason being, there's a big difference between not liking something and when something is not sustainable, and I think Americans are having a very hard time differentiating when something is not sustainable (like $10 a gallon fuel and a 10 mpg truck), vs. when the price is higher than they like. i.e. $3.20 a gallon (when I left) and 19 mpg (my Honda). A month I might spend $300-500 in fuel...nothing even close to hurting most people's banks. Yeah, it's cool to fillup with 3 liters of fuel and go 100 miles on it, but it's not a change I see anyone seriously making unless fuel were over $20 a gallon.

I also believe that Tesla is a doomed venture itself, but that's for another day.

We bought a BMW X5 in Oz at a ridiculous giveaway price. You literally can't trade them in and they're almost impossible to sell. We used it for outback driving where it was perfectly suited, but in the city it would giggle like a junkie with a snow globe any time it was near a fuel station.

The Bumblebee gives us around three weeks running on $8. Mind you, it lacks some of the features of the Beemer, like a V8 engine. And brakes. I miss brakes.

^^Range Rovers are a similar story in the US, they're so cheap and no one dares touch them so you can haggle down to nothing.

Anyway, sale pending on the 90.

90 is sold.
