Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 are they silly my wife says she will laugh at me if i get one but they go forever and it should last me my two years of cbt while i get my bike test passed
MightySprocket Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 they are the new retro cool I want a monkeybike but the c90s will be the new vespa i reckon
Stu_B Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 They're cool, my mate had one as a field bike (although it took us about a week to get working and ran for all of 10 minutes before getting wrecked ) and I had the engine from one in a go-kart!
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 one of these bad boys? yes thats the one they have plenty of nicknames too clicker grandad bike chicken chaser
Copey Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 lad in college had one, we ripped the piss outa him on a regular basis
mk1super Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 You want something drop proof to smoke around on, sod what folks say! You go for it. Thing is also sooner or later your gonna drop it, far better to drop that, than some nifty 125 you have paid through the nose for eh? They are cheap, go forever, are a piece of cake to maintain and cheap to run, and nobody pinches em, and beleve it or not there dead easy to mod Go for it mate i wish you all the best and do take care as car drivers never seem to see bikes
Copey Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 do take care as car drivers never seem to see bikes i can agree with that, my mate just got knocked off his bike, he was very lucky to be alive, he flew 14 feet through the air and landed on his head, even more lucky, he didnt break anythin
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 Honda 90's rock... FACT! A mate of mine had one some years ago, and when I was a medical courier I was very tempted to get one myself. Totally bombproof, ultra reliable, good fun and excellent spares availability. Nothing else compares really. Also another point worth making, if people take the piss, it's only because their jealous and they have to walk. I think if I was a bit more normal. I wouldn't get any stick if I owned one, instead I own 2 Yamaha SA-50 Passola's & a BSA Ariel 3

Smudger105e Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 one of these bad boys? yes thats the one they have plenty of nicknames too clicker grandad bike chicken chaser Called Plag 90's round here...
Trevmk3 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 they are so fookin cool, wear an open faced helmet on it so you can look like Wallace from Wallace and Grommet . me and some friends messed about with one years ago and launched it off the top of a quarry. the engine still ran after although the frame and stuff was a bit of a state get one
Admin Vista Posted May 20, 2008 Admin Report Posted May 20, 2008 Honda C90, the preferred mode of transport of many a Thai nightfighter.... "Me love you looongggg time white boy" as they wiz past you at 40mph A few hundred thousand far eastern prossies can't be wrong mate, go for it. Though having owned one myself, a Honda Monkey bike is way cooler and a lot more old skool.
Mrs O/H/C Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 a c90 is a very cheap bike to run and it will see you through the 2 years i do suggest that no matter what bike you have ... that you wear a high vis jacket as car drivers DO NOT see bikers
D4N Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 I don't like it but i dont like any bikes one bit. I don't fancy falling off the blooding thing Mate go for it, by the comment above it seems like a good bike!
X-pack-Glyn Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 I had one i used to grass track at organised events, we used to race in beaconsfield not sure if they still do. mine had straight through zorst and a K&N woth a flowed head (4 stroke remember), tyres and back sprocket of a KX80.
jed Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 Yep theyll take the piss but they are the greatest bike ever made... sort of ya cant go wrong
zetecmk2 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 i've converted my dtr 125 to c90 ignition, easy and super reliable!! (off road only)

surfingturnip Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 does it come with a mahoosive domino's pizza cary box on the back? they have a retro cheesey cool factor all of their own mate so I say go for it
Mr Sam Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 deffinetly silly dude at college had one and he used to wear full leathers although there well cool at the same time, had an 80cc varient with a bunch of mates which we used to bomb aroun on down a business park,,,,happy dayz
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 instead I own 2 Yamaha SA-50 Passola's & a BSA Ariel 3 Does the Bsa run? I'm afraid it doesn't at the moment mate. I have got a new piston to fit, then a nice clean and paint up Sam... I will dig a couple of pic's out in a while mate
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 Here you go Sam. Unfortunatley I don't have any better digital photo's of the Red one. This was my first scooter, but it is in bits for a rebuild at the mo. It will be getting a modern Yamaha 50cc engine with performance upgrades... that should upset a few chavs with their Typhoons and Speedfights The Green one has only done 600 miles from new and I won it on eBay for £35 it still has it's original tax disc. I just need to match up some paint to do the little scratches on it. It's a rare colour too for an SA-50.
Billy_smith Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 A C90 is also referred to as a steppy/pizza boy mobil. i like em and can wheelie them shit hot but ur asking to get terrorised
