The first line of the auction under the title says "Here is a Completely Re-Make Replica of a 1974 Honda 90 Motor Scooter."

If it is knockoff, I can't beleive they put HONDA all over it. Well I can beleive it, but I can't. If you know what I mean.

thats cool, those rims look like "baby Daytons" on a lowrider bicycle

ghostryder · 12-01-2006, 08:39 PM

Its kinda f'd up that he lists it as a 1974 and as brand new. Its a nice bike though. And I'm not sure that the seller is the one that put HONDA all over it. Its got it even in the upholstery. **** maybe it is a Honda, is there a way to tell based on the VIN # he gives?

My guess is it's not even pictures of the actual bike for sale. You know how dis-honest some eBay sellers can be. He probably found pictures of the best looking bike, similar to what he is offering or not, and used them.

The VIN# he lists does not even remotely come close to anything Honda has listed in the Honda Motorcycle Identification Guide.

Below is the only 90cc step-through street model that Honda sent to the US, they were available from '66 to '69.

almostfiddy · 12-03-2006, 02:34 PM

Mine is the orange one. Some guy was selling his house,etc., and I was the second person to look at the bike. It is all original and really nice. Should go real nice with my 75 CR125 Elsinore.

When I first saw this post a while back, I read "radial spoked wheels" and didn't really understand it. I thought that 1TrickZB just posted that because it had spoked wheels. But upon closer inspection when this thread came up to the top of the list again, I noticed that none of the spokes ever cross each other. Is that what radially spoke wheels are? Personally, It seems like the wheel would come out of true like that.

Jthomas7 · 12-21-2006, 07:52 PM

I have one of the SL 90's that were only made 2 years I believe. One of these days I will get it up and going.

Yes, Radial spoked wheels have spokes that do not cross.

Possibly. I heard radial spoked wheels can "taco" easily. Some wheel builders are adding "strength" and bling by adding more spokes, >100 spokes.

arlindsay1992 · 12-21-2006, 09:34 PM

Over a hundred spokes!?!?!? That would be a b---- to true.

Looks like the bike from pee wee's big adventure.
