Honda C90 Cub - Motorcycle Review

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ธ.ค. 2016
- The Honda Cub is a step-through motorcycle with a four-stroke, single cylinder engine. The model has been in continuous manufacture since 1958 with production exceeding 87 million by 2014. No other motor vehicle has been produced in such numbers.
This 1995 version differs slightly from the original design. It has - a CDI (capacitive discharge ignition) system, which reduces the maintenance required. By 2016 the model had been discontinued in Europe by vehicle emissions laws but variants of the Cub were still on sale in Asia. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

A blue Honda Cub 90 was my first motorbike. I bought it about 30 years ago after I got my driving licence back following a drink drive ban. I needed transport for commuting to work, and it was all I could afford to insure at the time. I have learned my lesson the hard way. Although I came to motorcycling reluctantly, that little vehicle served me well for several years. I have had many motorbikes since, larger and more glamorous. But I will always have a soft spot for that Honda Cub 90.
A great motorcycle. I wish they were still for sale in the UK.
The best vehicle ever created. The immortal bike, the supercub...
100.000.000 produced to date.
Best bike ever.
I loved my C-50 back in the day.
Want another!!
I had a 1971 c50 in green with white leg shields ,never broke down ,only 2 rear wheel punctures ,rode it everyday sometimes for 100 round trips .I got 40 - 45 mph on clock & once saw over 50mph down hill on a long ride in U.K.
@@maskedavenger2578 Awesome bikes. Mine was green too, liked that better than grey. Broke the frame in half once and got a red black second hand installed. Did it all myself.
Easy peasy bikes to work on.
Later on moved to SS-50 s
Still have a PF50 Novio :))
Possibly the greatest form of transport ever created....possibly
Certainly very popular!
Steve McGill yeah it's so rubbish it's sold 100 million. Glad I didn't invest ;>)
100 million and 61 years old! So your point is....
@gixeff 750 sounds just like you're describing a gsxr!
@gixeff 750 Are you talking about those kinds of motorcycles in general or about the C90?
I've owened 12 honda cubs over the last thirty three years. Just bought a 1980 v plate round headlamp six volt I always preferred the old shape I paid 1800 pounds for it fully restored in blue its a lovely little bike my first one I paid sixty pounds for in 1987 average condition on a 79 t reg thats all u paid for them then lol .love them legend of a bike 👍
My first Honda cub was a brand new 1971 model Green & white leg shields C 50 here in U.K. .Cost about £120 on road with all taxes & fully comp insurance on provisional license holder only £6•50 p per year .The 2 year finance deal brought the price to around £140 all in .It would cost you more than that for a second service now .If you didn’t do it yourself .
Everybody loves the Cub... Reliable, cheap to run, great for nipping around on... What more does anyone need unless they're into long distance touring
I'm sure I at one Stage Owned a C90 Motorcycle & a C90 Cassette at the same time!,
Nostalgia kicks in with things like Videos, Half Pence Sweets, Playing Marbles etc.
The legend, it's rare items now😁
My dad has a blue 1 wasn't started for 30 Years awesome bikes runs now
Thanks for this.. mine is a 1983 C70 for the U.S. market, and it's pretty much indestructible.. I just read somewhere that the front forks were inspired by the Bambi movie, where Bambi comes screeching to a halt with his front legs splayed out in front of him! Incredible..
Our local district court manager rode 1 for 40 years to work. He saved so much money doing this. Way cheaper than a car. I think these run for weeks on tank of gas.
Was yours called the Passport with electric start .In the U.K. I had the c70 1973 model in yellow & white leg shields .after owning a C 50 .The U.K. model c 70 had an extra front light ,plus both side stand & main stand .Better more comfortable seat ,little light in side panel next to ignition key barrel .my U.K. model never had electric start ,it didn’t need it ,would start up first time only needed choke on freezing winter mornings .
Iv restored 14 of these in the last 3 years I love these bikes
Hi Tom, Im going to look at a couole of these in the next week or so, as i love them. I had a c70 25 years ago and loved it. Im not sure what condtion they're in and Im no bike mechanic, but if so do you do these up for potential clients?
@@user-ck6kq8zl2i hi hope all is well.. I stay on the nc500 route in the Highlands of Scotland and I would restore them and sell them on for people/collectors to do the nc500. Though I have 8 of my own that include 4 Honda c90, 2 Honda c70s,Honda c70 and a Honda trial 90 too.. I do have my bigger bikes also but I have never had so much fun than I have on my old Hondas. And they are great for long trips with parts being so cheap to replace and you can take them apart and rebuild with a spanner too
@@tomthehighlandexplorer8085 Hi Tom yes they are great fun. I had my c70 and went all over London on it. I took it for granted at the time, but I so wish Id have kept it . It ran like a dream and was very comfortable.
@@user-ck6kq8zl2i can't beat them I have a c90 that's done 71 thousand miles and it's still on the original engine.. Though I have rebuilt it twice
@@tomthehighlandexplorer8085 like say your favourite axe ? Changed the handle four times and the blade twice ?
I never understood why they stopped making them. I owned one, an amazing machine.
You can still buy a brand new 125cc version of this bike from Honda...
They're still made brand new!
Just bought an older version, can't wait to try it out.
Brilliant bikes and still are to this day
Great little video for a great little bike. I've ridden the 105cc version (CT110), for my work here in Australia, for almost 25 years. Great bikes almost indistructable. The new fuel injected model (NBC110) isn't anwhere near as robust. I wish it was.
Hi Bernie, Glad you enjoyed the film. Your CT110 Postie bikes are famous, even here in the UK, so it's great to hear from a seasoned user! I hadn't realised there was now a fuel-injected replacement though it's not surprising, I suppose. Lots of people mention that the earlier models were very robust and that's one of the reasons everyone becomes fond of them. If you fall off, you just get back on and carry on! Thanks for your comments!
Brilliant as always - this little gem makes me love my little Honda MSX125/Grom even more. There's something to be said about a small care free motorcycle to ride around town. Looking forward to more videos!
When we started making this little film we wondered how much we could say about such a little bike. We ended up having to leave things out as there was too much to say. Maybe we'll do another C90 film at some point. Jon, the owner, is thinking of riding the poor thing over the length of the UK in 2017, which will total about 2000 miles as a round trip. In some ways it's the perfect vehicle for such an adventure. Thanks for the comments!
Oh this is the bike I used during high school in Vietnam
Great to hear! Did it work well for you?
fantastic machine,last forever if you take care of her.
Can't wait to get mine on the road
Hope you get it back on the road soon. You're sure to have plenty of fun with it. If you can, try doing a longer trip on it - maybe over a weekend!
Thank you for the review and I now purchased one of these bikes
Well done you! Good luck with it. I’m sure you’ll have plenty of fun with it.
im 29, ive had all the sport bikes and all that craic.... When i move back to ireland im buying one of these and thats the only two wheels i want
Hi Cormac. I live in N Ireland and I have a 1997 C90. I have big bikes as well but I have the best fun on my 90. They are very popular in the South. And very expensive. I hope you ģet one. Good luck. Keep er lit.
@@tmac4891 I ended up picking one up last year when I got home in April. They are mad money down here it's true but very popular. Even though I only take her out seldomly it's still great fun, I've a ducati sitting beside her in my shed and I nearly reach for the Honda Every time!
@@BigB-qk6zh Brilliant Cormac. I know exactly what you mean. There's lots of organised runs in the South too. Good luck. T.
@@tmac4891 Sound for that !
From what I have seen these are the craic in Eire they have big Honda cub clubs & get the ferry to North Wales now & then to meet up for mass cub bimbles & mayhem with other cub jockeys from the U.K.
*passed my full licence test on the cub 90 1992 got full bike licence then and the DVLA examiner said he wanted one* 😁
Thanks for the comments. The chap riding the C90 used to ride police motorcycles for a living but he too likes the C90 - jolly practical!
Arriving to the party in a C90✅
I have a 2013 100cc Sym Symba which is a direct copy of the super cub. I use this for shopping and have experimented a bit with carry boxes... Many carry boxes are designed with a helmet or a pizza in mind, but a shopping box needs a sorting area to pack items of varying size.... I have removed the pillion seat and put a tall rectangular carry box on. The lid opens forward and is long enough to sit on the speedometer. The flipped over lid provides a good sorting area... For shorter boxes the seat can be lifted up to provide some underside support....A large carry box can cramp the riding position. To relieve this a little, the gear change lever will slide off the spline and can be refitted at a different angle...There is a bolt at the back of the lever that holds everything in place and it must be replaced from the same side as it came out, In this case I do a heel-heel gear change.
What a bike, I love it!
C-ENGINE is the best engine. Realiable,economic fuel consumption, cheap part,high revving.
Thanks for the comment. Interesting to read about the best engine!
Magnificent machine!!
Stannington, Northumberland. I live nearby!
Just one thing - engine has no roller bearings. It's either ball bearings or special smooth shafts that run with a helical oil seal arrangement.
it has better than most ,that usually only have hardened surfaces in alloy that pits .The Cubs have proper bearings with races that can be replaced without the need for new cylinder heads or major engineering to renovate & harden worn bearing journals & shafts .
Came here after watching c90adventures channel
The C90 Adventures channel is amazing! Glad you called here too. 🙂
C90 C90 llego en la party en la C90
The clutch is centrifugal, the revs have to be dropped to do the gear change. Its not all on the change lever.
Useful to know! Thanks.
I own 1993 Honda Super Cub C90. I've been riding it for years, Since 2011 till now
+WarhawkRevolver
That's a similar age to the bike in the film. Good to hear that your C90 is going well also. Keep riding it !
Simon
lovely
Hmmmm , . Don't need to remove the chain to remove rear wheel he said . I changed a tyre a few days ago on my nbc110 and I removed it all . I'm even wondering now if I even needed to remove the the brake shoe plate , or if there was sufficient wiggle room to leave it attached and dangling . But then the axle rod mustn't be pulled out completely I'd say , enough axle has to remain to support the sprocket spindle.
Nice
Thanks
Did you buy it from CEX (key ring)? They sell everything now..!
We need to get back to basic transport like this , simple to make, to fix and cheap to buy and run, cars have gone ridiculously expensive and the more expensive they get the more tax the government gets , the problem is people are being utterly conned by cheap pcp payments not understanding the balloon payment at the end.
I really like the design of the rear rack. It looks very sturdy and the two V-shaped pieces that drop down to wheel level look ideal for keeping a panier bag from contacting the wheel. Is that an OEM Honda part? Is it aftermarket? Do you know where can I buy one? I'm in the US, but I'd gladly pay freight from Europe or Asia to get one like that! It's so much better than the stock rack on my 1982 C70 Passport (Cub).
Hi Steve, I’ll ask the owner about the rack and will report back to you. Best wishes, Simon.
I wanna get one of these because it durable
I hope you do get one because it will be great fun. Learn how to ride it well and take care of it. Then it will give you good service!
Great bikes..61 years now and still inexpensive at $1600 on the road with insurance included in the country of manufacture now (TH)
Certainly is an impressive design - right first time and still in demand!
Found a completely rebuilt one for 450 in amazing condition
Do you still have it now, that bike sir..
My Honda c90 has electric starter..💪🏻
True classic
I have a more modern version a 2004 125 Honda Innova cub type .It’s has a four speed rotary gear auto clutch gear box .front disc brake & tele forks ,electric & kick start carburettor model .It does 60mph on a good day with my size & weight riding it .It likes 30 - 5Omph .Some lighter riders can get 65mph & even 70 mph with their nose in the clocks down long slight hills or slipstreaming . It’s ideal for busy city’s you can get away with riding & parking in places other motorcycles & scooters wouldn’t get away with ,it’s also brilliant as a small adventure bike or summer bimbles around country B roads & villages just like the old c 50 ,c70 & c 90’s .I ride it more than larger bikes it can get to places they can’t .
I have a C90 1996
So Nice please
Perfect period piece circa 1965?
I was wondering how long the microphone cord was and what it was connected to, a BBC remote location production van perhaps.
Love every minute of it.
Ho-ho 😃 we only noticed how prominent it was afterwards! At one point I thought the microphone would hit the interviewee in the mouth. It was loads of fun making the film and would you believe there was someone using a chainsaw nearby, just to make things more fraught!
Paul, your comment made me smile !
C90, C90 llegando a la party en la C90 :v
When we were kids we would buy up junk C90s and FR80s as field bikes. I say junk but they all still worked and were 80s models, they were cheap though since so many were still knocking around at that time. Also the days you could drive junky motorbikes around fields and woods without too many complaints.
I remember a few of them had been bored to 110CC though, must have been a common mod.
They seem to put up with a lot of punishment! Thanks for the comments.
Good points : reliable cheep to run Bad points : you leave at your girlfriends she finds someone else then sells it
I just bought a 1989 red one
They're the fastest ones...
Simon Hadden I'm not sure as it's a restoration project so I've not even started the engine yet
Simon Hadden 1989 red one the fastest???
Yes, the red ones...(!)
I thought they had a Honda Cub 125 CC around 2019 or so ?
They have a 125 now and a off road one called the Hunter I think
@@elephantsmemory3142 doesn't look so nice though.
Looks a bit frosty on the grass verge, riding past on a little bit of sunshine.
It was filmed between Christmas and New Year and the temperature was hovering around freezing point. It felt chilly and when we were filming beside the church, a chap nearby started using a chainsaw. Every time we tried to record the interview, the wretched chainsaw started making lots of background noise! It took a bit longer to record than normal!

Guy on the right sounds like John Cleese.
I beg to differ. Had 68mph out of my beast
Where is Ed
Gone to lie down!
Great bikes, but those huge indicators spoil the looks on that one!
Mmm, they are rather large!
Normal indicators....taken off a artic truck
