    Such fond memories riding a bike like this as a child. I could pick one up for a few weeks pocket money back then and spend all day in the local woods tearing up the the dirt. I've snapped one in half doing jumps and then I used the engine in a homemade go kart. Great job guys. I'd love to come to the museum when things are more back to normal and check out your extensive collection and maybe bring something home with me to the UK. Excellent work.

They went from 6 volts in 1981-82.. 1983 they went to 12 volt.. Which was cheaper for bulbs and plugs.. And parts..

Its all about the basket on the front people, fit a few boxes of beer and a French baguette with a block if cheese in that bad boy. Would cruise all day on this. Lovely looking machine. Only one I have ridden was stripped down for off road use lol . Excellent video as allways guys 🛵

    Technically it is a motorcycle like the CT90. It is missing the main part that would make it a scooter.. there is an engine in the place that would be a floorboard. You know the reason actual scooters have the engine placed under the seat closer to the rear wheel.
    Pretty much the Honda Navi is a scooter dressed up as a motorcycle and the Super Cub is a motorcycle dressed up as a scooter.
