the C90 riders forum site is always worth a visit, One bike/man did 1000 miles in 22 hours. That takes respect.

Congrats! Haven't seen on of those for a good while. And not one in so good condition.

Nice, I had one recently G reg, kick start model with 5500miles. Bit tatty but that I sold for a profit
wish i'd kept it now though. Very simple to work on and good mpg 100+ even when ridden flat out. Mine
had a variable stop speed of 40-55mph, always depended on the weather.
Whats years yours? Is it a kickstart only model? I think they shifted production out of Japan and those cubs suffered
more from rust.

Well done. I keep on thinking of going for a cheap 125 and doing it up. Just like this I guess even tho its a 90. But as in impulse buy if found at a cheap price with seconds to go. Kinda like my sportcity. About 30 secs to go and at £1000. Cheeky bid at I think 1040 and I got it. 23k on the clock. And she's still parked outside as I type. But now at 41k.

nice machine, how many people can you get on yours or is that just an Asian thing?

26 years ago I explored West Cornwall on a blue C70. I thought it had a hybrid engine that ran on petrol and photosynthesis! Happy days!
And if you ask Mister Chippie where he got his paint from -
