The '''Honda CT-90''' | The '''Honda CT-90''' was a 90cc [[OHC]] [[dual-purpose motorcycle]] made by [[Honda]] from 1966 through 1979 with a somewhat 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. | ||
