Tommy, I am approaching my 71st and, since I ended up in hospital last January,I managed to get out & enjoy the Tracer and the Honda C90(actual 110cc)last summer/autumn.When the time comes,which it will, I shall be sad to see the Tracer go but will keep the C90 as it is hardly heavier than an old fashioned bicycle.I have a friend who until a few years ago rode some big powerful machines but failing health and stamina have taken their toll but he still enjoys riding his monkey bikes and old British autocycles. Think hard before getting rid of the cub it isnt much to tax & MOT. Good luck whatever you decide!
😂Or on most bikes with cable driven speedo it contains a rubber guide for the cable to stop it rubbing on the mudguard.

I do though have a very wet front tyre and a big puddle on the patio.

I only bought one and couldn't get the ratio of liquid right and kept falling off,it was particularly hard on black ice or greasy conditions,I'm thinking of taking it off when I'm discharged.
I can hear them comi.....
obviously a man who has had experience of this

Good luck whatever you decide!Hey Dave,What did you do to your C90 to up the cc to 110? did you fit one of the Korean barrel and piston kits? How did it go and what was the quality like.(Heard tales some of them are crap quality)My next job to get the Chicken Chaser re-bored.I have a biker that has shown some interested in the FZS600 and is coming to look at it in a couple of days. Mrs thinks I am mad for trying to sell it, but there comes a time for all things, I will be sad to see it go, just hope that whoever buys it looks after it, like I do/did. Be interested in knowing about your C 90 upgrade to 110 cc, and what difference to performance did it make.My C 90 is the Economy Cub, I believe it is lower geared than some cubs as it is set up for city riding, quicker of the mark from lights and junctions but lower top speed, so I might up the gearing by two more notches on the front sprocket.
Hi Tommy,Sorry for not replying sooner-have been away for a while(no, not a mental health facility!)I bought the C90-G from a dealer 2 years ago-low mileage and VGC. Took it to IOM summer 2017 and didnt like the 3 speed semi-auto gearbox (particularly when trying to get round the Ramsey Hairpin! ) Autumn time I decided to strip bike and treat any frame corrosion etc. Bought a Lifan 110cc 4 speed manual clutch engine complete with carb and ancillaries from Pit Bike Spares for £173. The bike runs well with the original Honda Keihin carb and although not much quicker has better torque and almost identical fuel economy. Went back for 2018 Manx GP in late August 2018 and the bike was faultless. I belong to the C90 forum: C90 Club.co.uk -a very helpful & friendly bunch-glad you are keeping the cub!
Well the new owner rode off today on 'HIS' Fazer FZS 600. The good thing is I just know he will love it and pamper it just as much as I did, it has gone to a good home. Now in the summer it is going to take me 45 minutes to get to the boatyard on my Honda C90, flat out, instead of 25 minutes on the Fazer, and that is taking it leisurely.
