Honda C90 Barn Find- Will it Run ? After 52 Years !!

[@zenzen9131]

This brings back memories. I had use of my brother's F Reg C50 as a first ride for me :)

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@dord1954]

I wouldn’t expect anything less from an old Honda 👍

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

You're right! I said it would start in 10 kicks but maybe slightly over optimistic after 52 years! haha

[@gntdriver2840]

A couple of years ago my mate bought a C50 from its original owner whod bought it new in 1966 when he was a young office boy in London in anticipation of train strikes and being left without transport to work,strikes never happened and not being a motorcyclist he never used the bike except for an occasional summer ride before parking it in his garage where it sat for 55 years until 2022 with under 200 miles on the clock and a 1967 tax disc

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

That's a great story! Did the bike run? What happened?

[@gntdriver2840]

@@Bikes_And_Biscuits it did not take much to get it running,just a new battery,spark plug fresh petrol and oil and the carb stripped and cleaned and it started after a few kicks,he kept it for a while then sold it on

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Yes that's about it. Although the carbon didn't actually need cleaning as you saw. Maybe because the old petrol was so much better ? Thanks for watching, its much appreciated .

[@RyanMayo-j7d]

Classic bike. That take me back to our youth buzzing around the back streets. ❤

[@martynbeaumont1100]

Yes. Me too. We had one that we painted white and luminous pink, yellow and green. Proper ugly!. We tried to blow it up by draining the oil out and revving it to death. But it wouldn't break after 20 mins we got bored, put the oil back in and carried on riding it with a new-found respect for the little thing. They are bulletproof!

[@taihavard]

Getting a decent number of views!

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Yeah. C90 is a popular bike. Honda sold massive amounts of them!

[@martinm3446]

Got to love an old bogseat 90 👍

My DREAM BIKE !😉

[@normality3848]

C90 made a great ‘cheap’ dirt bike in the 80’s. 😎

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

So true! They take beating and keep going somehow.

[@roberthatfull3816]

Had loads as a kid they cost bout a tenner or i was given a few rusty ones too but they allways ran after a go over i had about 20+ in my parents front garden and it was fun as a 12 year old to ride to the feilds with your mates and spend all weekend scrambleing and camping out we modded them too different forks trike engines (125cc)and different swingarms /shocks was all good fun .

A lovely example. I’m actually looking at buying one.! I’m nearly 60 and this was the first bik bi was in the road with. Great memories 👌

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Oh thatsgreat! They are hard to find. Have you had any luck yet ?

[@soapy3204]

Loved it ……what a bike ….bit of a national treasure 🎉

Thanks!

[@martinchayman]

Good job. Great it ran after so long. They don't make 'em like they used to.

[@martynbeaumont1100]

They were great bikes! They might still make them somewhere in the world.

[@iandaniels8386]

@@martynbeaumont1100 honda do a cub 125 but not as good as the old ones.

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

Had an identical one , same colour , still have a yellow C70 with just 3,900 miles.!.The C50 is very capable of course and the original but a bit of a slug, but the C70 & 90 are simply incredible machines that punch well above their weight , especially with Honda quality but my favourite all - rounder is the C70 from the early to mid 1970s.

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Yes the C50 is a bit slow! The C90 is very ridable though. Might try and get a C70 and do a video on that

[@lucybrown-nd1cf]

Quite nice that, people paying nice money for them too, very popular.

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

You're right. They are going up in value for sure

[@stephensudlow6938]

Class little bikes

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

They are!!

@@Bikes_And_Biscuits had a few of em when they was 20 25 quid way back , big bucks now

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

It seems all the bikes that we payed very little for back in the day are big bucks now. It seems even modern "cheap" bikes are not cheap. Cant buy anything for under about £750. So kids cant really buy old scooters or mopeds with a bit of saved up pocket money like I used to.

good to watch, I had a Honda C70 in the 70's, took me from Lincolnshire to Blackburn Lancashire , over the snake pass through Chesterfield most week ends, (Hole in the wall public house for a rest and comfort stop!!) really reliable! Wish I had it now!! Have you got the motorcycle MoT done?? Best wishes from Lincolnshire.

[@martynbeaumont1100]

Thanks!. Glad you liked it. No Mot needed on this as it is is historic vehicle. Love you C90 memories!

I like the gear shit click back for first then the rest forward great bikes

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Yes they are funny aren't they! I forgot that they have neutral before 2nd, so missed the gear the first couple of times!

Those things are bulletproof. Last years if you look after them.

Bulletproof is the right word! They are amazing

Did you check the oil ??

[@Wull-cfc67]

Aye its a honda

[@chrismccartney8668]

All working after 52 years no surprise Did check for oil.

We did! yes. Thank you for watching!

[@roberthatfull3816]

Had a c90 in that exact colour as a kid sgf49f eas the reg i bought it for a tenner had to clean the carbs and the fueltank and take off the back box and luggage rack i put knobblie tyres on it too and trimmed the rear mudguard as it was rusty i used that bike for 3 years over the feilds and trails and sold it after its still about too in my mates garage .

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

That's a great story. Love that you bought it for £10 ! Thanks!

[@roberthatfull3816]

@@Bikes_And_Biscuits back then i got given loads of motorcycles bout 50%of them honda cubs if there was an old rusty motorcycle in a garden id knock on the door and enquire if it was for sale or if they wanted it removed for free id filled up my front garden with old motorcycles vespas ,honda cubs old mz, motorcross bikes from the 60s and 70s and more i only paid for about 6 bikes and got given the rest id ride them till they broke and then strip them out and make a frankenstein bike from the parts was good with the scrappers too id trade stuff for intresting motorcycles and parts I loved the 80s/90s it was a great time where nothing realy cost much 🤘

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Haha. Thats great! Thats sounds very similar to what we used to do. We would build bikes from all sorts of parts. We put a RD400 engine in a Yamaha RS125 once and also turned it into an off road bike. That was a bit of beast!

[@roberthatfull3816]

@Bikes_And_Biscuits i put a honda super dream 400cc into a 60s go cart and used vespa split rims with knobblie tyres on them as it was driven off road it had no suspension at all but a seriously padded seat lol ,that thing ripped 🤘

Love this! My Dad had one of these bikes. It wasn't that old though! 😂

I think lots of people's Dad's or Grandads had one! They made millions of these C90 and C70 and C50.

[@martinascot5477]

The Ford Cortina of Thailand in the 90's.....I had thousands of miles of fun on one in the hills of the north it would go anywhere.....literally.....wheezing like an asthmatic bagpipe at times but it would get there.

[@JackNboxSeeder]

As a boy, my cousin tried Motorcross on one 😂

I think many people did! The c90 somehow survives surprisingly well on a dirt track!

Should start first kick

Haha. Would have been great!!

Not seen IT 175 in years..

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

We are going to do a video soon on the IT175. Look out for it! Awesome bikes!

[@kennybo-iy2ed]

i had a brown one just like that one, that was a gallon tank, i remember i paid 50 pence to fill it.

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Yes. 50p worth of petrol went a long way on a C90 !

[@austinmatthews347]

my first bike was identical to that its was a 1976 p reg it had beed rattle can sprayed over in ford tractor blue but where the paint chipped it was that colour they can do over 200mpg

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Yes they are so good on fuel!

[@austinmatthews347]

@ in about 1985 me an my mate set off from huddersfield to whitby which at that time was about 120 mikes its less now due to the road changes he had a ts100 and i had my c90 i filled up and as you will be aware its not a gallon its less she did whitby i ran around for a week then rode home i still had fuel left so well over 250mpg quite simply the best vehicle ever made and the biggest selling vehicle of all time period i now have a r1250 gs adventure but i never forgot my 90

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Love that story. Thank you!

[@jamestongue6056]

Definitely tested on a closed road... 😂

[@martynbeaumont1100]

Of course. It's a private road.

[@iandaniels8386]

very hard to kill cub 50. 70 and 90 best bike ever made yes some are bigger faster but if you want a easy to fix bike what lasts forever thats your choice

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

That's very true. We've sold it now and I miss it. Maybe they are addictive!

[@thomaspenman4101]

They were prone to the back wheel arch rusting had loads of them hondas had a honda C70 REG HEN 147N COOL reg❤

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Yes i think they were!

@Bikes_And_Biscuits could hen. 147n been transfered to a car

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Im not sure. Not heard of that before.

[@terrybarton8388]

Did you change the oil, you never showed it?

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Hi. We didn't in this case, although we did check the oil and it was totally fine although old of course. But we sold the bike now and the new owner is going to give the bike some more love. Including changing the oil because we mentioned it to him. He wanted to ride it home 25 miles! But I convinced him to collect it instead. After 52 years I think better to test it locally first! Haha. Thanks for watching!

[@bobgorman9481]

The immaculate appearance of the carb interior just goes to show how crap modern day petrol is !. Also , I don't think that the person who commented on the absence of a helmet / tax/ insurance etc was trying to be a jobsworth, he was pointing out the facts as they are re the cops these days ( sadly ).

[@Simon-fr4ts]

Too many older English people saying 'cool' these days. I am 53 and find it such a cringe Americanism. I cannot say the word. Same as 'Awesome' and 'Bro'. We don't need these creeping into our vocab. These same people usually say 'can I get' instead of 'can I have' in a shop.

[@thomaspenman4101]

I could make it like brand new çleaned hundreds of them brillo pads in warm soapy water will remove all rust wont leave scratches

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Yes, you're right it probably would but we wanted the small rust dots to stay to preserve the old look. We just used an oily rag mostly. Thanks so much for watching. Hope you enjoyed it!

[@twizzlestickx7]

Hi great find i noticed at end of video its blowing from manifold it may have a nut missing off it or something more serious lol if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for bike

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Well spotted!. We did indeed find a problem with the exhaust manifold. It had a slight crack. We put a thin tube inside it as a sleeve. Worked a treat! Thanks for watching our video!

@martynbeaumont1100 no helmet or insurance because it is a historical vehicle.?

[@gntdriver2840]

​@@martynbeaumont1100 its not a historic vehicle until he actually registers it as such with the dvla and the police do watch youtube videos for people driving vehicles illegally (no helmet) and have traced and prosecuted them also will need the front reg plate removing

[@dronedays450]

Obvious it would start its a Honda cub they were bullet proof

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

They really were! Amazing little bikes!

[@twizzlestickx7]

You should of just put some petrol in it first and a battery and tried to start it that bit spoiled the video abit for me

[@Bikes_And_Biscuits]

Hi, Yes I think you are right, but the slide was stuck down in the carb so we had to fix that. I just assumed the carb would be full of crud after 52 years. But as you saw, it wasnt! So actually it may well have started with just fuel and a battery! These Honda C90s are amazing! Thanks so much for watching! Martyn
