May 8, 200620 yr Saw this at the Pre-65 at kinlochleven.... Now that's different..? Edited May 8, 200620 yr by andyrothers
May 8, 200620 yr I'm so old I can remeber the great John Avery (ex Moto Cross dr Nations Team Rider) riding this type of SS 90 in S.midland trials in the early 60's. Sorry to upset you all but it is more pre 65 than a MK 1 concentric carb.
May 10, 200620 yr The S90 was an excellent bike in its day (1964 ie pre 65), 90cc OHC engine, 4 speed if my memory serves me well with a proper clutch. Rare to see one on the road or at a classic bike rally now. There was a similar pushrod bike in the same era CM90E !, this had leadind link forks rather than tele forks. I had one of both when I was a kid. The C90 and C90cub bikes which are still common today are basically the same motor as S90, bit less power probably and a centrifugal clutch with 3 gears. Nice to see a different bike in the P65, bet it was allowed to use a kehin carb! Just a thought, get an old S90, fit a 125 or 150 bore/stroke kit you can buy for a monkey bike (same basic motor), modify the forks and fit 21/18" wheels and you may have a competetive P65 bike? - still in the spirit of P65 - have a look at all the cubs, overbored triumph twins etc all using jap pistons.

May 11, 200620 yr and the black object in Brians post! what are they? blush.gif That is an S90 Honda with a large back sprocket ie geared down - same basic bike as the one at P65 SSDT.
