The Honda CT-90 was a 90cc 4-stroke OHC dual-purpose motorcycle made by Honda from 1966 through 1979 using styling cues from its smaller brother, the Honda C105T. It had a unique step-through design which remained during the run of the motorcycle. The seat accomodated one person and it came equipped with a generous storage rack behind the seat. It is perhaps one of Honda's hidden success stories, this bike sold well worldwide and has a faithful following to this day.

1966-1968[edit | edit source]

The Honda Trail 90 CT90K0 was sold 1966-68. Two colors were available: Scarlet Red and Yellow. The exhaust was up-swept. The exhaust system and heat shield were chrome. The seat was a solo seat with chrome trim. The chrome luggage rack behind the seat was standard equipment. The fuel tank decal reads "HONDA 90". The early 4-speed model had a dual overlay rear sprocket setup. The later models had a single sprocket but an 8-speed dual range transmission. The front suspension used a bottom link rather than telescopic fork tubes. The engine was improved to a 89cc OHC single cylinder with an automatic clutch. The serial number began CT90-100001.
