Is that the one referred to as a 'Sport 90'? Whatever the case what a super classic. Looks like showroom condition.

I had a red one, but it was a '66, and it was called an S90. Looked about the same. Mine had telescoping front fork instead of knee action.

That is in really nice shape! How do people keep things looking new for 50 years?

A pristine beauty. I believe they are incredibly bulletproof. I rode the step through model of that up mount Hamilton from Alum Rock Road in San Jose, with two people on it (more than 400 pounds!!we are not small) in low gear to the top, holding it wide open all the way. it was not over reving, it was in its torque peak. When we got to the observatory it had no issues. I idled it around the parking lot for a minute or two (it seemed reasonable) and I call that heroic output. Jim

looks like more of a heated garage find than a barn find.

So Daryl, give us the story behind this one. Where'd you find it, does it run, how much, etc.

I'd love to find something like that, been a Honda guy my whole life.

Rusted:

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So if the bike is a "pristine beauty" then the farmers daughter must be SUPER UGLY. LOL!

Man, what a nice find! I love that kind of stuff. I have a 1973 Yamaha DT2 250cc Enduro, but it does not look that nice!

Found it on craigslist last weekend. I was the first caller and went to look at it the same day. Starts on one or two kicks and purrs like a kitten. Gave $1350.00 for it, which was more than i wanted to pay, but the owner would not budge on the price. He said if i didn't want it, there we're 6 more calls after mine that morning.
