The first sporting derivative of Honda's classic C100 Cub 'step-thru' - the C110 Sports Cub - appeared in October 1960. Unlike the Cub, the C110 was a proper small motorcycle, with spine frame and a more powerful version of the C100 motor having a higher compression ratio and an alloy cylinder head. In 1964 a new overhead-camshaft, all-alloy version of the Cub engine was introduced on the CS90 sports. Sold as the 'S90' in the UK, the latter abandoned Honda's traditional leading-link front fork in favour of a telescopics, while a revised form of the spine frame and larger (18") wheels were adopted at the same time. Although it only produced 8bhp, the ultra-lightweight (191lbs) CS90 was surprisingly nippy and provided many a fortunate learner with his/her first taste of proper motorcycling.
Unfortunately, nothing is known of this S90's history, although the HPI report states that the motorcycle was previously registered overseas and first registered in the UK on 12th November 1985. The start date for the current keeper is recorded as 10th March 2017. The current odometer reading is 789 miles (not warranted). Accompanying documentation includes a current V5C Registration Certificate and a photocopy of a previous V5C. Please note that both V5Cs incorrectly record the engine number as 'S90137623'. The model is also incorrectly recorded as 'C90'.
Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning and/or restoration to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's completeness, history, authenticity, originality and mechanical condition prior to bidding.
