This would be perfect for the 50cc race season that's about to begin. Why don't they sell them here? After all scooters are really making the big come back, at least around here they are. |

Had an old Cub back in the early seventies. Low maintenance transportation. Remember running through the countryside on the machine. I also wonder why Honda doesn’t bring them back over here, Great little machine. |

Are those things four strokes? |

Here are our little Chinese knock-offs of the old S90's. They are cool little bikes. I taught my wife to ride on them. They have a 50cc 4-stroke. They will do 45mph flat out. We've put 3600 miles on each of them in the past 3 years. They have been absolutely rock solid. I just picked up a couple of 110cc engines that I'm going to put in them and then go up 3 teeth on the counter sprocket. Then we should be able to cruise at 45mph without worrying about the engine turning into a grenade.

I had a mid-60's Super-90 when I was stationed at Subic Bay in the late 60's. I lived in a housing area that was a couple of miles from the main part of the base. It was a twisting ride with a fair elevation change and I loved those rides to and from work. I had a locally made, lightly baffled, reverse cone megaphone exhaust on the bike (the original had rusted out). And I paid one of the bike shops in Olongapo about $40 to for a top end job (new piston, rings and valves) and a set of tires. I used to think I was the Mike the Bike of Kalaklan Housing as I dropped down one gear for that downhill sweeper across the bridge. Hardly anyone rode motorcycles on the base at Subic at that time. There was some rule against importing and registering new bikes and I had found one that was grandfathered from an earlier time. I paid $100 for it, needing some work. Rode it for most of a year and sold it for $300. Jack |
