Finally getting around to adding my 1979 CT90  to the garage.

I was going to buy a new 2022 CT125, but in the Spring they were not available. I decided to but the best looking CT90 I could find. 

It is titled and is one the road.  This bike is so fun.

Very cool. I'd really like to find one of these. 
 

I read a road test of the new CT125 and thought that it's exactly the kind of fun I remember having on small motorcycles. I want one.

I assume you watched Zack and Ari riding one in Alaska?

I had good luck with DrATV when I was restoring my CT-70.

Fred and Dave spent some time on a pair of them on Dirt Every Day this season too.

My dad bought one new back in the 70s. It was the first bike I rode on the road. Good bike for investigating trails or putting around town. The 45 mph, wide-open-down-a-hill top speed is off-putting to me today though.

We have a group of "older" guys who have scooters/small bikes. We take the backroads to a small diner. The Speed limit matches the top speed of the bikes, so it is a full on race and no worries from the local police.  The top dog is now  a Yamaha Yuma 125. That can hit 60. I am looking into a 22 mm carb and bore and stroke.

 

Grassroots Cafe racing for the old guys.

At one time there were a ton of aftermarket parts for those motors when ATC 90 and ATC 110 were popular, 

also check out c90 adventures where he travels Asia to Europe , and Alaska to Argentina on his C90
