My Honda 90 is 30 years old now so any manufacturing costs must be long forgotten.
It's still in regular use around town, still does around 140mpg, and I have used (and wouldn't hesitate to use) it for long journeys.
When the fuel gets low, it takes a couple of minutes to fill up, not several hours to recharge.
The 'fuel tank' doesn't need replacing every several years when it loses its ability to charge.
All of which must be food for thought..!
I'd even happily ride it to the NEC for the bike show, just to get back on topic

Re: Who's going to the NEC M/C Show?
I had the C50 and the C90. What I'd give to still have the C90 (probably not that much actually!!). It was fun to ride and of course, very economical. The new C125 apparently is everything the C90 was but so so much more with proper handling and brakes, loads of power (comparatively speaking) and even better economy. Funny, but I cannot remember if the C90 was 3 or 4 speed gearbox. But I know the C125 is 4spd.
I still might be temped to get the C125 as the price is now very low to get a brand new jobbie if you watch the dealers. £2695 is the best on the road price for a pre-reg zero miles bike that I've seen so far. Hmmm...

Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!

Re: Who's going to the NEC M/C Show?
I could be up for a meet up. Dates are flexible for me and I will watch this space. Will be two wheels for me, unless snow, as I want to try out longer trips on my new steed!
Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery but today is a gift!

Re: Who's going to the NEC M/C Show?
C90s were 3 speed ... unless you had one with an aftermarket motor ie Lifan/Loncin.
Mine still is.
The C125s are great. Two lads who attend the C90club events brought theirs to the New Forest. Nicely built and sound and ride like a C90 but quicker and more refined.
They'd already taken 'em over the Alps before the New Forest event.

As for the NEC, it looks like my Son and I will be there on Saturday 24th.
Sitting on bikes has become something of a pastime over the last year or so.
