Honda Trail 90

Nov 27th, 2007 | By Jon | Category: Misc

One of the toys I have wanted to get for a long time is a small motorcycle for tooling around on. We live in the perfect area for one with a trail right behind our yard and all of Lake Mountain to explore.

Back in the 60’s and 70’s Honda made a line of bikes that was targeted at hunters and fishermen who wanted to get into the back country. They made extremely sturdy and reliable bikes. With a top speed of 55 MPH these bike could be ridden on the road, but they were designed for trails. They are not really a dirt bike though, and should not be ridden hard like a dirt bike would be. Weightless Dog has a great site devoted to these bikes. Check it out at ct90.net.

These bikes are exactly what I have been looking for. I have no desire to buy a true dirt bike designed for speed and hard riding, what I want is a little bike that I can ride around on and get up into the hills with. An added bonus are that these bikes, though 40+ years old, are workhorses and are inexpensive as well. They seem to range in price for $400 to $1400 depending on the condition of the bike.

    Yes, I got your message, but I don’t know of anyone looking for one right now. Good luck selling your bike. I am sure if you price it right you will be able to sell it very quickly.
