Of all the motorcycles that I have had the good fortune to acquire in my lifetime, the C-50 (blue & white) that I had a teenager in 1966 was the one that I miss the most. It was a simpler time and it offered the ultimate economical FREEDOM !!! Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
@@barrybegley5379 hi Barry, great little things aren’t they 😎 I have a different one now (same bike) that I rescued after 10 years. Took me a couple of days to fully recommission. (There’s a video of you want to check it out) A couple weeks later I did 200 miles on it with no issues! Thanks for watching
The dynamic duo are back, a great wee bike as you say we have all had these at some time and they are coming into their own again. Grand wee video ATB Big Dave Scotland
I'm glad to see you back making videos, healthy again and with a new bike! looking forward to seeing what you'll be up to this autumn/ winter. Best regards 😎
Thaks for the video, great to see another cub owner having fun around some beautiful scenery. I bought a C125 after watching Mr Fish and Teapot One having their little adventure, and I can confirm it takes you back to the basic joy of riding a motorbike. You have to leave your ego at home ( not enough power for a passenger) but I've found most riders are very positive and come up and have a chat about it. It's amazing how many bikers got their start on one of these, or have their own supercub story like yours. 👍🇦🇺
Not enough power to go downhill in wind as well. I love riding my semi-auto scooter, it makes me smile everytime and I think for first year power was enough, but I live in area full of hills, so hillclims or windy weather really was pain in ass, so that is why I tuned it up a little bit. I find it actually sad, that after all those years, Honda was unable to add 5th gear, more power, bigger tires, and instead added electronic bullshit. I live in country, where you can drive Cub like vehicles with car driving licence only, so I think 11 HP from start could be dangerous, but really in long term, it does not make a sense for people who are not typical asian size.
Glad to see you back. Great choice of bike!! My first bike on the road was a C90 in 1972. As well as my Roadking, I've had a Meteor 350 for almost a year, easily as much fun as the Harley (I'm waiting for the comments!! 😁) maybe see you at The Old Stores sometime. Ade Nicholson, Mold
Fabulous settings for the video with the viaduct and canal. Infectious enthusiasm too. That’s such a fun little bike. Let me try and tag my friend, who is in the process of becoming a C90 owner @EpicAdam Motovlogs 👍🏼
Good to see you back on here buddy, on your iconic new bike. You'll be aware of just what you missed at the Dragon.... you were lucky! Cheers anyway. 😎
That's a beaut of a c90. Hopefully I'll be picking mine up soon. I think mine is from the mid 90s but it's not in the best condition. I'm buying a multicoloured shellsuit to match my c90.
Hello mate new sub here 👍 just found your vid searching c90 stuff as I fancy one for myself soon, happened to notice we make vids in the same area too.. Then I happen to notice you ride an Enfield too and talked about wild camping ...decent😄👌
Great bikes, I’ve had a couple of C90’s and a C50 too. I did 16500 mls in 18 months on my last 1984 C90. Just change the oil ever 750 mls or so and the motor will last for ever. Good to see you back man👍🏍🤪🍻
@@mrgrizzlyrides I’ve just bought some Castro power1 4t to put in it. Will get round to it soon, not entirely sure when it was done last so May as well get it done.
Even though it has a semi-automatic gearbox, you can still push start it. Just simply push the bike forward, and when you reach maybe 20 km/h you kick the shifter on the back side. I have a Taiwanese-made one, fun bike to ride.
It’s really cute it’s got the same colors as mine. I have a 2020 Honda super cub but mine has a 125 CC engine for our American road. I would not want to go any smaller but it might work for you. It’s got a bigger step than mine.
@@thatwelshman4518 oh yeah, the brakes are good. In fact one other guy I’ve been watching on RU-vid actually put a new caliper on his brakes that have two pistons instead of just one. that one now probably stops real fast. But you had to be careful and keep in mind because I might be able to stop faster than a car behind me. And I noticed in the video you said that that little one has three gears the bigger one has four years and it really does not need a fifth gear. That little one is so damn cute.
Hi, I'm the happy owner of the same bike 1997 year but with electric starter, metalic blue and with only 7200 miles on the clock. Sorry about my english and greetings from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷!!
Love the bike mate I race c90s with my boy and my brother I'm only over the hill from you we should do sum green lanes together sum time if ya up for it
Hi mate, I do the odd one on my Himalayan (some vids on here too) but not been tempted to take the C90 on the rough stuff cos it’s in such good nick, seems a shame. Cheers for watching 👍
I’ll tell you what man I am jealous of your kickstart I wish mine had a kickstart but they had to go and make a keyless. Oh well what are you gonna do?
@@thatwelshman4518 yeah, I agree with you about the keyless but I didn’t have a choice in the United States. That’s the only model they got, unless you get import. But I do like the analog brakes that they added for the front and the LED lights all the way around and the fuel injection.
So I wear a Harley Davidson jacket when I ride my super cub of my coworkers, who actually has a Harley gave it to me and was like here it’s got Kevlar in the arms and shoulders where it for safety and don’t kill yourself. I need to get the Kevlar for the back part of the jacket but I did think that was a pretty nice gesture.
@@thatwelshman4518 I appreciate the support man. Most people have been support full about my choice of motorcycle, but some have not but I didn’t buy it for them. I bought it for me.
Tells you a lot about Chinese manufacturing that they could take something as utterly bombproof as the C90 motor and make a copy that wears out in 10,000 miles.
@@thatwelshman4518 I own one a couple of years ago for cub racing events, the off road ones were a blast, currently building an ecub, brought an electric kit from china but ultimately I’d love to mod a c90 with 200-300cc engine to allow safer drives on 60-70mph roads, nothing worse than having a lorry behind you lol
Yep. Still a few sites with old new Honda stock, or plenty of cheaper aftermarket stuff about. Can even pick up an entire brand new Lifan engine with gearbox for less than £350 👍
