    I'm from the UK. The Square 4 was advertised as having 'armchair comfort'; they didn't tell you it rode like one too. Better with a sidecar in standard form. The later ones with 4 headers were more reliable.
    In the 70s the healey brothers did a limited run of square fours with a better frame and engine mods, now rare and expensive. The company making the Atom bought the name in the 90s, Ariel motorcycles became part of BSA in the 50s, last making a bike in 1970.

    Its amazing what some have been able to keep running, and restore to original condition! These old bikes are really something else! You picked a good one to work on. That Honda trail 70 is a Go Anywhere bike, and hunters used them to haul out their deer during hunting season, besides have fun on them the rest of the year. A lot of history here for sure! You wont go wrong restoring this one to its original state. You may even run across another old bike thats worth restoration in your quest for more used bikes. The contacts you make while doing this is to your advantage and can be a great source for expertise as well as help to find parts. Great Video!

    I have two of the CT90 and one CT110 . Love those bikes. I think you got a good deal on a pretty decent one. My definition of 'running' is probably fairly close to that guy. Cleaned up and a little fiddling to run- its a runner. I rode an SL90 in 1974 from Seattle to Fairbanks and back . Well, almost back . The bike took it's last breath in the middle of British Columbia. I hitch hiked the rest of the way back. Good times.

    Well guys, I share his definition. You cant expect a barn find for that little money to run on the first kick. That thing is what like 50 years old? Of course you have to dig in a little bit and do some basic maintenance like rebuilding the carb, new fluids and stuff.
    So a not seized up motor and very little rust is already a jackpot...

      That means it doesn't run. They guy was asked if it would start and he said no because it doesn't have a good battery in it, not no because it's been sitting for half my life and needs rebuilt. If it's a barn find that is cheap and needs a carb rebuild, then he shouldn't have lied about its state multiple times.

    The Honda Trail 90 were bought by the Australian Post office for mail delivery. There were steel braces across the back carrier and down the side and placed 2 mail delivery bags, one either side. They later went to CT110, then Yamaha step through 2 strokes for a couple of years but then went back to the CT110. They now use a Honda Step through.

    A friend of mine back in the 70s had a camper and he built a rack on the back so he could take his trail 90 with him camping. It was a fun bike to ride. I started my riding life on a Honda 50 scooter that my brother had when I was 12 years old, back in the 60s. I am still riding and have ridden many different makes and models, (presently a Yamaha 1100 and Harley Fat boy) but I still have fond memories of thos little bikes in the 60s and 70s. 😀
