Honda S65 - awakened from a 8+ year nap.

I had stolen the rear tire off this bike for another project. Now I need to get it off the lift, so on goes a new…ish tire. Decided to see if the old girl would wake up after being stored for 8+ years. Follow along to watch me make a few mistakes along the way, but eventually take it for a short rip. #HondaS65 #Lifan125cc

Me too!!!! The last house reno video will post in the next couple days. I’m basically done and can get back to minibikes. 😃

I love the style. It's like a cross between Super Cub and a CT. The tank and seat remind me of the old BSAs I once woke up a Honda CB900 after sitting 28 years, It was only 2 when it was put in the garage.
