  • This is the video update for the final leg of my Malaysia to UK trip as I ride through Europe from Bulgaria to France.
    In this update you can see just how indestructible a Honda C90 is, and also how fast one can go round the Nurburgring.
    Don't forget to check out my website www.c90adventures.co.uk for all your C90 related nonsense.

    At 2:34 there's an Ohio license plate visible on a (somewhat weary-looking) Harley in Bulgaria. Sometimes I forget Europe actually has a Harley market, let alone apparently imports old American bikes. Also as a proud C90 owner (1980), this video just impresses me. These little things are indomitable, and I love them for it.
