I am from Greece and the Honda underbone style motorcycle (C 50 - C 90) used to be king. Pretty much the only European country that they are popular in. I had one as a teenager, impossible to kill despite the teenage shenanigans. Back in the day they were so ubiquitous people would (figuratively) throw them in ditches when they quit running. They were everywhere. Now we find ourselves in a situation where even the small cc motorcycles are emissioned and fuel injected, underbones are no longer made in Japan and people are full of nostalgia. An original Honda C90/C50 with papers will command 1500€, I have seen restorations that were asking 2500 and low mileage barn finds for even more. Whoever set the design parameters for this bike and engine was smart, the engineers that delivered were geniuses.

My current bike is a vintage BMW R100GS. Why? Because my first bike was a Honda 90 Trail. So old that it had leading link front forks and a second rear sprocket that bolted over the street one. Obviously, there was also a short piece of drive chain that had to be spliced into the street chain. This led to years of tuning and crashing a variety of motorcycles mostly in the dirt, sometimes with studs on a 1/2 mile ice oval. Please tell a 72-year-old diehard biker that you will treat this seminal motorcycle with all the love and respect it deserves. It has fueled dreams beyond imagination. Thanks for all you do.

It's worth noting that the Postie bike version was slightly different to the ones sold in other areas, Auspost had a whole bunch of changes, such as the removal of the high/low range gearbox. I know one of the posties who got to trial the new model C110X for Auspost back in the day when they were looking at doing a switch over and he said they had multiple front wheel failures and brake wear issues on the trial and as such Auspost requested Honda deliver the new model with an upgraded front rim and some sort of change to the front brake to keep up with the abuse that these bikes cop. I assume the CT90 and CT110 underwent a similar process.

I was "helping" my old man work on his Oldsmobile circa 1970 something, he was under the front end. He was a tough man and not one to teach or explain stuff. "Hold this wrench here". He just needed that extra pair of hands like you needed. Anyway, the bolt he was wrenching' on gave way and the socket I was holding spun off. I watched in horror as it clanked through the frame and doinked him on the forehead. Expletives deleted... He never said anything else. I later found out from Mom; he told her he saw the look in my eye saying that's what you get for treating me like a piece of sh..t. Years later we worked on all kinds of car repairs, oil changes, he always asked me "what do you think? Looking me in the eye. Your channel is an intellectual challenge. Will it run? Not the point. Keep posting. Hearing your mind work through problems, keeps me guessing what might work and watching you figure it out, things I never would have thought about. Teaching all the way. learn by doing.

Top tip for protecting the con rod when working with the head/barrel off is to use a piece of radiator hose zip tied over the length. Tough as anything and little chance of any damage at all. If that was mine I'd get it running as is and ride it past Mr Rip-off at next years meet. Massive understatement on the work needed just to make the point. Nice video though I like your style a rare breath of common sense and a BS-free zone.

It had a gem of an engine and I loved it but I traded it in on a '68 Triumph TR6-R when I joined the army and could afford it. Thinking back though, the really cute girls liked the Honda better,

A lot of these 90cc dual geared bikes were used by hunters to get way back in the wilderness and haul their game out. That oversized luggage rack came in handy. I was lucky enough to be able to buy one in 1972. It is one of the best small motorcycle ever made.

back in the 70s my best friend had one we drove that thing everywhere the high and low range really made it kind of unique and with the step thru frame it made it easier to drive in beach sand for better balance

Awesome video as always. You ever put valve grinding compound on a Philips heads when it's slightly stripped. It fills the voids and lets the screwdriver bight.

The bike was a fail, but the video was a HIT! Really enjoy watching you work. Thanks and hopefully you can use a few parts on another project.

Theres tens of thousands of Ct 90s and ct 110s out there you should be able to find a used crank out there some where the rest of engine looks salvagable

My Beezers pistons were frozen in the cylinders after 20 years of sitting. Every day or 2 I would heat/soak/beat/repeat for 3 months. Then Brainstorm. I broke the porcelain out of 2 spark plugs, tapped for grease zerks, screwed it all together then 2 packed the cylinders and heads full of grease, bolted the head and gasket back together and started pumping each cylinder full of grease. After about 5 minutes of switching back and forth I heard some crunching, then Bam! 1 cylinder let go, so I just kept pumping the hard one and a minute later it let go. May be useful to all of you gearheads out there.

His schedule is perfect for me, some people get up Sunday morning and read the paper and drink their coffee and its their time. I get up 7-8am and its my time, his hour long videos are perfect, my wife and kid know not to disturb me when I am watching Mustie1.

She's a real gem Mustie To clean up the poor bore try cutting the head off a long 3/8 bolt then hacksaw a slot in the end of the bolt the same width as your emery tape. Cut a foot of tape off the roll and fit it into the slot then fit the bolt to the drill. try that. spray it with kero or brake cleaner as you use it. Its rough but it works as well as anything else.

When you talk to us as if we have the tool, I find it really funny like when I was a kid helping my dad fix stuff in the shop and I’ll grab that screwdriver he needed to do something small or the wrench he had to do something small and therefore I would have that tool he needed… ha ha ha ha

the biggest difference between M1 and GG is GG easily sells parts and uses the money to buy relevant parts and usually has money in the good before selling the unit
