Honda Other description

Up for sale is the classic 1966 Honda S90. This bike is a great restoration candidate, and with just a little work could be showroom quality. It is VERY clean and there are a lot of positives with this one. It was purchased from the Honda dealership in Kalispell, Montana, where it had been stored indoors for many years. As you can see from the dealer badge, this bike has called Montana home from the beginning, which means it has spent its time in a nice, dry climate. It is free from any major rust issues, and even the inside of the gas tank looks to be in amazing shape. It is not currently running, but the motor kicks over and has nice compression. The chrome on the exhaust pipe and wheels looks great and still has amazing shine considering the age. The fenders are beautiful, as are the headlight and speedometer gauge. 

This S90 is being sold AS IS and without any warranty. It does not come with a title.

While this bike is in very nice shape for its age, there are a few things that are missing or that need to be mentioned. The turn signals and taillight are missing, although the bracket is still there as you can see in the pictures. There is no chain on the bike. The clutch lever cable is missing. The battery side cover is missing. The seat cover will need to be repaired. There is a pretty decent sized ding on the right side of the tank under the rubber pad, along with a couple of smaller dings - that being said, it looks like something a body guy could fix easily and I don't see any creases. Beyond that it looks to be very complete, but take a close look at the pictures as I tried to get a variety of shots that paint a good overall picture of this bike. 

If you've been looking to restore an S90 with minimal work or parts to find, this is the one for you! I am located in Missoula, MT just off Interstate 90. Many freight companies have hubs here, so shipping is usually very easy to coordinate. 

Please ask any questions BEFORE bidding, and if you have a feedback score below 5, PLEASE message before bidding - I've had 4 Buy it Now Auctions killed recently by people who hit the BIN button and then vaporize afterwards. 

$100 deposit due at auction's close via PayPal. Balance due within 7 days via cash, money order, or certified check.

Thanks, and have fun bidding!

The launch event takes place at 7pm [GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) or 4pm EST in the U.S.], and will broadcast live via webstream on the TT’s official site homepage: www.iomtt.com.

2013 Honda CRF250M Launched in Thailand – The Supermoto Version of the CRF250L

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Honda has revealed a new supermoto version of the new CRF250L in Thailand dubbed the CRF250M. Like the L, the CRF250M uses re-tuned version of the CBR250R‘s engine, a liquid-cooled fuel-injected 249cc Single. When we dyno’ed the CRF250L in our recent 2013 250cc class dual-sport shootout, we measured a peak of 20.3 hp at 8700 rpm and 14.0 ft-lb.

Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show.  On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca.  With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem.  When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season.  We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!
