1998 Honda Cub 90

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Very low mileage
  • Fantastic condition
  • Container stored for 20 years

APPEAL

The Honda Cub 90 really needs no introduction. With over 100 million sold since they were introduced in 1958, they have become the world’s bestselling vehicle. The reasons are simple, they were cheap to own, and you could maneuver around town in almost any gear thanks to their torquey little 85cc engine. Granted, it’s not the quickest bike around, but they provided ample power and a top speed of 55mph, moreover, their simple mechanics meant they could be worked on by even the most amateur enthusiast. 
This example here is has done just 570 miles in its life and its condition reflects it. With a recent service, it now starts on the button and rides just as it should.
