My Other Bikes

Welp...it finally came time to clean out and reorganize the shed so I was able to snap some quick pics of my collection. They're in various conditions as you can see. Not pictured are my CT70 restomod project and my CB77 Superhawk (and a couple parts bikes).

73 ST90 that I just picked up. I've always kinda liked the CT70's big brother and opportunity knocked on this one.




My beloved 62 C110 Sport 50. This bike is the best. Runs like a swiss watch. Nothing makes me happier than hopping on and cruising around town on it. The old pushrod 50 pulls all 250lb of me at 35 mph with no problem. It goes over 40 on a downhill grade easily.




65 C200 90cc...this bike has been in my family for years. My father and a couple uncles have each owned it at some point.

Re: My Other Bikes

CT70H K0...The one that started it all. This was the first bike I ever rode with a clutch. Original emerald green bike that was repainted at some point.




69 CA175 Touring...was once a beautiful bike that my father bought at an estate sale years back. Sitting around has certainly taken its toll on it. I think it'll still clean up pretty well.




67 CL90...this is a really nice bike. It was actually imported by someone who was stationed in the army somewhere in asia. Speedo is in kmh and whatnot.

Re: My Other Bikes

My other C110. This one needs a little bit of work.




72 CB100...this is really dirty from sitting but is in fantastic condition. I have new side covers for it. Sweet little bike.




64 Yamaha YG1 80cc 2-smoker. This thing runs great but not my cup of tea and needs a good amount of work. Actually have the original title and everything for it. (For sale if anyone is interested)

Re: My Other Bikes

Nice...

I'd like to get an early CB77 someday. The editor of Clymer is a friend of mine and he's got some really nice CB77's and a K0 Black Bomber I'd like to have.

Black Bomber is pretty high up on my list of must-haves. I'd love to have one of those, my CB77, and a CB160 (the baby superhawk).

That's a CA110...1962-1969, same thing as the two C110's I have pictured above. That bike is kind of a mess. Wrong seat, wrong front fender, missing chain guard, missing side cover, "blown" engine, etc. It has the old pushrod 50 engine...I'm not sure if the newer style OHC 50/70 engines will bolt in. The price seems pretty steep for the condition.

Okay, that fender was screwing me up. I couldn't pin down what year it was. Your right about it being in really rough shape and already I have too many "Bike Projects" on the go.

Thanks for the info and I must say that your collection is very impressive!

I foresee a lot of build threads from you, Rysem!

Great collection. Hope to see more when you get them cleaned up.

Re: My Other Bikes

I love the look of old small pressed-frame Hondas, and you've got a nice herd going there. I like that you still ride the pushrod 50 around too. Way to go, and adding to what Razzo said, keep them alive (by using them!)

I have to admit that I get an extra kick out of seeing them with road fung on them, still with the interesting headlight housing shapes, muffler shapes and all...I like 'em like that.

Can you still find parts for the old pushrod motors easily enough that you're not afraid to ride them? I suppose having more than one of them helps...

That CB100 is like a bike a neighbor used to have, except his was a faded metallic orangey kind of color. I regret passing on that one when it was available intact and CHEAP years ago. I'd have fun with it now. Back then I wanted a 125 motocrosser and couldn't relate to it beyond "that's kinda cool, and old."

My older brother had a white sport 50 like those 2 red one's near the top, in 1967. Thats the first bike I ever rode at the age of 10.

Re: My Other Bikes

Nice pic Long Crapper! What ever happened to the C110??? I have a C110 and they are truely a fun, fun, fun bike! I'm impressed with the amount of power and speed I can get out of the little pushrod motor. Having a fourth gear makes all the difference in the world.

He bought it used from a friend of his and had to do some work on it to get it running. We rode around on it for a few years and he sold it in '69 to some guy that was staying at a motel near by, no-tellin whatever happened to it. Yea, it was a fun little bike.

Re: My Other Bikes

Had the Superhawk out today and snapped a couple pics and a quick video of it. The exhaust is aftermarket but I kinda like it. The bike is my rider, not a show bike but just a real nice rider. 3500 orig miles.
