1984 Honda CT90
Summary:
Cheap, but nasty transport
Faults:
Nothing went wrong while I owned it.
General Comments:
An uncomfortable bike that was so slow that it was almost dangerous in unexperienced hands.
Had a lousy riding position for a 5 foot 8 guy. Unstable at any speed above 40 MPH.
The economy was its saving grace and the fact that nothing went wrong with it.
I had a step thru C70 later on and that was a much better bike.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

Well put, however way too harsh on the dear old girl.
I own the CT90 and the C70 mentioned, both in excellent shape and ridden every day, alternatingly. The c70 IS the more comfortable and seems to have been engineered with the adult frame in mind. It can carry two adults safely and with style.
Too bad it only has three gears though. The ct90 goes real FAST! (in comparison) 4gears+90cc's =P-O-W-E-R! God it is a bit unbalanced with that massive "slain deer carrier" on the back and the gallon spare tank of gas. Don't carry passengers.
They are both terrific and historical motor footnotes, that live in the present with one foot in the past.
