Anybody Like Old Hondas?
3 Attachment(s)
I started riding motorcycles at six and was rebuilding bike engines by 12. Don't have a two wheeler right now but it's not because I don't want one.
First bike is a 1974 Honda Elsinore MR50 I bought for my son when he was one week old and spent three years gathering parts to rebuild it. Second bike is a 1978 Honda XL100 that I restored for a guy. This bike was his wife's first motorcycle and purchased for her by her father. Last one is the good old classic 1985 Honda Big Red ATC. Refreshed this one for a guy and it still goes to deer camp every year. Sorted out some wiring issues to get it starting from the push button and headlight working. New fork boots, etc. |

My neighbor had one of those Big Red 3 wheelers. I remember when they were banned from sales in the US (1988??).

Re: Anybody Like Old Hondas?
I had an old 1970 trail 70 I was going to go through but got rid of it to help fund the engine and trans rebuild for the C10.

I loved my little 01 CRV. On a side note, I just retired from Honda in March, after 30 yrs. I worked at the East Liberty Plant, where the CRV, RDX and MDX is built.
I have had several 4-wheelers in my past, from Honda. I don’t have much of a need for one now. |
Re: Anybody Like Old Hondas?
I've had three Honda bikes '78 CB750K, '82 CB900F Super Sport, and a '84 VT500 Ascot. I loved them all!!! I put 110,000 on the '78, 82,000 on the '82, and 87,000 on the '84.

Honda has a Heritage Center, that is located right across from the main Marysville Plant. They have a lot of older Honda’s displayed in the center. Here is a video from YouTube, it will show all of them.

I have no pics but I have 2 1969 Z50's 2 1974 QA50's a CT70H 4 speed engine on a Z50 frame with a SL 70 Swing arm and forks sort of a project bike. Oh and a ATC 125M engine that I want to put into a cart of some kind built from parts of a Quad. My original 1969 Z50 I have had for 36 years and is street legal. All of them run. Yeah I guess I like them...

Re: Anybody Like Old Hondas?
I started riding on a 69 Z50 and then went to a CT70.
My sister had a yellow trail 90 at some point. Man, I wish I had all those bikes back now. I also had a 74 Kawasaki MC1M dirt bike. Only made them two years and I’ve looked for years for one and only found one in Arizona about 10 years ago. Wis I would have got it and just had it shipped to me. |
Re: Anybody Like Old Hondas?
Cool ! .
I actually hve 10 or 15 all told, three are the hard to find 1969 CT90K1b's, two of those are complete and one even has a tile . My plan was to have up fixed these and sell them off once retired . Man plans, God laughs . I retired and nearly killed my self falling asleep on the Angeles Crest Highway riding my Ural Solo sT in 2017 and that changed everything . An old friend of mine says he'll come take them all away (all the bikes, crashed, rusty parts hulks etc.) and see about getting them back into circulation . Older Hondas are hands down the best engineered and highest build quality Motocycles ever . I've been resurrecting dead ones since 1971 or so . Parts are still available either from your dealer ($!) or new from out of country and used pretty much every where . I well remember the tiny little "Monkey bikes" with the 10" wheels, when they were new I thought them toys but the decades have taught me other wise . I hope to keep one CT90 to ride (yes, although I'm crippled and sleep in a chair sitting up I still want to ride) but we'll see . |
