Little Hondas.

[steve murdoch]

Rotating the stock for the winter projects and took a couple pics.
Honda S65, S90, CB160 and CB77. All of them are '64-'67 bitsa bikes.
'72 CB350 in the background that is a couple notches down on the priority list.
As many here have experienced small bikes can be a blast to ride. Wring the most out of them.

Very cool, did you refurb/rebuild all of them?

Cool. I dig those S90s. A few years ago I found an old Honda 90 service manual in my fathers garage that included the S90. No idea why he had it, as he never owned one. It was neat to look thru.

The Honda S90 was a big deal in my neighborhood when I was a teenager riding a bicycle. My older brother had a red one.

Just the S90, Dave.
I wish i had that kind of skill. Got a friend in Toronto that did all the work.
He hasn't ridden in 15 years but loves the mechanical aspect of bikes.

Do you have a fireplace in your garage or bikes in your living room?

Very cool, we're looking at a Motorcyclist Classics quartet. Then there is the CBX tank, seat and cowl in the background. Must like small and big Hondas

Yea, I wouldn't mind seeing that row of big Honda's too
Cool little bikes....I like flying around on small ones too.....as long as they have no camshafts, and are missing a few strokes.....

 

[steve murdoch]

Thanks for the kind words, Gents.
Used to have a couple nice pics of the Sixes lined up but i have not fully figured out the f'n Photobucket fiasco.
Got to get a pic of the 4 old ones with a total of 6 cylinders beside a CBX with 6 cylinders by itself.

A Super Cub & a 400/4 would round out that Honda stable nicely.

Oddly enough, just saw a beautiful white S90 outside the cafe the wife and I had dinner at tonight. First one I've seen in years. They really are gorgeous bikes.



(That's our PCX behind it)

.. i have not fully figured out the f'n Photobucket fiasco.

You are not alone. But I googled my photobucket and it showed me my pics, and showed links ( but I didn't try to link them)
I was just happy to retain some pics that were lost when my HDD blew up.
( If you can see it, you can save it... and then save it in google pics to share)( or other)

I never realized how fun 14 rwhp could be until I started running my CL175 in AHRMA races. On a big track like Road America it’s a little ridiculous on the straights - just take in the sights and watch your rpms - but on smaller tracks they can compete with some of the bigger bikes... depending on the rider.

 

[steve murdoch]

14 hp....you must be flirting with the rule book. haha.
Do you do the LeMans start?
Is that a CB400 Hawk tank?

 

[Tom R]

That’s the stock ‘72 cl175 tank. I’d like to find a cb200 tank to fit on it though.
For the cb160 class it’s the LeMans start, which is a lot of fun. I’m a little faster on my feet, and my bike starts a bit easier than a lot of the other riders....so I could usually pick up several positions. The gp200 class is a standing start though, and not to my advantage.
14 hp is just a guess, but that’s what I’m told to expect with my setup... fresh top end including kibblewhite valves, springs, titanium retainers, timed cam, dyna ignition... I’m still running stock carbs and exhaust. Some of the faster bikes are 20+ hp, which again, is way more fun than it sounds... and they sound loud.

CBX's are the coolest.....beautiful bikes :clap::clap::clap::clap:

[steve murdoch]

If it is truly original i think it is a good deal.
I do not know enough about Benlys to notice discrepencies but it seems odd to me that a bike in such nice shape would be missing tank badges.
At least they are available for reasonable dollars in repro form.
Certainly not many white ones around.
