I know a lot of you are into old bikes, so I thought you might like to see that there's one of these still around. Brings back a lot of memories.

More than one still around! Have seen a couple of them running around the Yuma area and one guy had a 90 and 110 for sale this winter. Big Grin

OMG, had this very bike when I was a kid. So small, I had to jump down off the seat to keep it up!

I am appalled at the price on that.

I had one for a coupla weeks in the '60s. Bought a Hodaka and was a jillion times happier.

I picked one of these up early last year.... mine is actually a 1981 CT110 which is the first year they had a hi/lo gearbox (makes a big difference going through swamps or up steep inclines). It's not a fast bike but I've had a lot of fun with it so far. The nice thing is that Honda still produces this same bike as a mail carrier for the Australian postal service so new parts are readily available.

I know them well!


Two years ago, I came across an ad on EBAY about a 1973 HOnda Trail 90 with ONLY 250 actual miles. It looked like new. It was about 5 hours away so I called the guy. In our conversation, I found out he had TWO of them...identical and both had less than 275 miles total. They were ordered by a retired couple to put on their RV. They were about 20 units different in VIN numbers, had consecutive tags and ran like new. Needless to say, I bought both of them. I got them for I think, $1100 each. They are fun to ride around the farm on. We also had one growing up. It was my Dad's. We had SL70 HOndas and Dad had the BIG Trail 90.

I bought a brand new CT-90 in 78 and I had more fun with that bike than any other. It had the hi/lo transfer case and a spare gas tank for deep woods travel. I used to put it on the rear bumper of my 1949 converted Grumman paper delivery truck which broke down and I actually towed it with the Honda. That bike could go anywhere, it was great. Sold it, regretted it later and bought another in the early 80s. Wish I still had one to put on the back of the Barth.
