Honda S90

The Honda S 90, where the S stands for Sport, was a small motorcycle from the Japanese maker Honda with a horizontal cylinder and a four-speed gearbox. It was already offered in Germany in 1965, and with variations the same concept was used in other models of the period, including the SS 50, the Dax and the Monkey. The machine had a pressed-steel frame with an oil-damped telescopic fork. Its 89 cm3 engine produced 8 PS at 9,500 rpm and had a four-speed foot shift, and the brochure gave a top speed of about 95 km/h. The price list showed 1,335 DM. At the time a class 1 motorcycle licence was required to ride it. Its successor, the SS 90, also called the CB 90 SS, was a small motorcycle of the early 1970s, where SS stands for Supersport. It was sold only in Japan and had a four-stroke engine with a horizontal cylinder and a five-speed gearbox with a clutch, producing 10.5 PS from 89 cm3.
