I happen to have a CT-90 motor sitting on a shelf in my garage. No carb or exhaust, and missing a few trim pieces, but it wasn't locked up when I put it there 20 years ago. You can have it for free if you pay the shipping. It should give you the parts you need to put the engine together.

[@user-dv8mq1gf5w]

I'm 63 so I can give you a little history on the CT 90 and why it didn't do so well as far as being accepted . Honda was making leaps and bounds in their smaller bikes in those days . The very early Honda 60's were almost a moped with plastic fenders , horrible shocks and wire wheels . Then came the Mini Trail 50's with their mag like rims and fat little tires . They had adjustable seats ( great idea ) and they could carry an adult . This was a full on WINNER and my cousin had one . This was our learner bike and all four of us put it through hell ! It was made tough , just fast enough , had an automatic clutch and would ride for hours on that little bitty tank . Then came the 70 and was bigger faster but still had the fat tires and still had the tough little rims .I'm telling you the things were indestructable ! When the 90 came out with it's bigger frame and a motor that couldn't fill it up . wire wheels that made it look wimpy , slimmer tires it just didn't look like it could take the punishment the 50 and 70 took . So Honda came out with the XR 75 and it was A WINNER ! It had a regular looking engine , a clutch , a motocross look and it just felt faster . Honda wisely adapted it's colors to their CR motocross line and if you didn't know hired Jeff Ward ( the flying freckle ) to race one professionally ! Jeff Ward became our instant hero . First off he could ride like no kid you've ever seen and was unbeatable and in the original " On Any Sunday " movie wheelied his Mini Trail 50 for what seemed like a mile . Honda was brilliant with their Mini Bike development that earned them Major Bucks . Every kid in America was saving their paper route money for a Honda Mini trail or an XR 75 ! The Honda 90 Mini should have been built like an XR 75 and they would of flew out of the stores ! The XR 75 and Mini Trails had the other brands scrambling to catch up ... The Suzuki Grasshoper had a dumb name and looked weird . The little Yamaha's tried but failed then became part of the Motocross MX's and DT's and did great . Kawasaki missed that boat completely so badly the KX didn't come out with motocross bikes until nearly 1978 . Kawasaki wanted the street bike money . Didn't mean to talk your leg off but I saw it all develop and I thought you might find it interesting . There's even more to the story but I didn't want to write a book . PK

I had a trail 70 as a kid in the early 90s and I stopped riding it cuz everyone else had 125s and it wasn’t cool anymore. Adult in my 40s with tons of toys and all I want is that trail 70 back.

[@geoffreyjones2000]

I love my ct70, but I've always wanted an st90

[@destinationunknown3947]

you boys should seriously invest in a leaf blower

[@lukemeier8917]

It's more about the leaves than it is the rear tire I've been in that same situation change tires and it didn't make a lot of difference because the leaves are so slippery just rub two leaves together and you'll see what I'm talking about

[@removeableskull7446]

Do you guys remember the ruckus that you all got running again? What if you took a 420 predator and a Colman rear wheel and made a rear section to bolt in. Or maybe silver wing swap the ruckus

[@davidowen888]

I grew up with a lot of these honda bikes in the neighborhood , brings back a lot of memories 🤤 that things stupid fast ! To fast for leaves, need a leaf blower, That'll be good on the road passin a Grom 😮☮️

[@jimnaz6281]

My first bike as a kid was a ST 90 back in the 80s..looking forward to this series!

[@Simplysimps420]

Johnny boy won't get back on after y'all get it fixed to fast for him he left a brown skid mark after he took his spin on it lol 😂🤣🤣

[@ratinsurance2053]

You guys should sell those engine adapter plates. I’ll bet they would work on the CL90 and the CT90 too!

[@Thomas-fo9zu]

Throw a knobby or two at that thing- makes a world of difference. I have a Z50A w/a Chinese 4-speed on it w/a 16 or 17 tooth front sprocket and a boat trailer tire on the back. But once those leaves come down, the knobbies go on. Just no grip in the woods/trails. I'm almost 60 and falling hurts! Love your channel and content, keep up those great videos.

[@noonecareswhenalltheydo]

Just a suggestion, but since you more than likely have a zero turn lawn mower out there, run it over the course before making a lap with all the leaves and tall grass.

[@gEtar87]

Thanks C&C, these CT's being back memories! My buddy and I found a couple old broken down ct50s at his grandpa's. He said they'd never start, so 15yo me gets em both running and brakes working on one and barely the other. We 'borrowed' em and somehow made it from our outskirt of town to my place, then to another buddy's.

[@dennisirving8794]

My family actually inherited a 1969 Honda ST-90 when I was a kid in the mid 80's that had belonged originally to my great grandfather. I grew up riding it around in the field behind my house. Unfortunately, in the 90's my dad randomly decided to sell it to my uncle because it was taking up space in his garage. Ours was the bright green and in almost perfect condition when he sold it. I knew then he made a massive mistake and that it would eventually be worth a lot of money to collectors in the future.

HEY John you guys would probably benefit huge if you got a small medium sized vinyl printer......then you can reprint graphics that were original but make em new or make your own custom graphics/livery

[@terminalpsychosis8022]

The engine is perfect. A few tweaks, and defo some fatter tires, and it's one of the fastest minibikes you guys have. That one is worth putting some work into.

[@darrellnichter9894]

Used to lay it down and jump up to finish the lap...now we just lay there and contemplate our decisions! Love them old Honda's

[@ricwatkins1437]

It will definitely be fine. I love you guys. I had a 73 ST 90 and never had more fun on a motorized vehicle in my life. Mine felt a tad underpowered but I could ride it anywhere and it was FUN...You guys are so good at what you do, I will be watching your vids til the day I die. More more more.....P.S. the drag rail, more please !
