Topic: Honda CT90 KO questions

[Magilla]

I found one for what seems like a reasonale price (around here).  Anyone out here know much about them?  Are they worth buying or are the junk?  Any thoughts on a fair price for one that is 95% all there and should just need some minor attention to get it running again?  What are they worth when they are running?

I can jump in here as  I am just about finished with mine.

CT-90 bikes are real popular, easy to get most parts and many Vendors still have OEM and aftermarket parts. Very easy to work on.

Prices vary from junk for a lot and nice ones for a little. I have seen more than one go for $850.00 that was almost prestine. The reason I did not purchase was the fact I just bought two KO's for resale. I'll have to ask $1500 for mine when it's done but it is all new for the most part. If I don't get that price I'll keep it. 

The 1970 model was the first year for folding handlebars. Snowbirds love them. 1969 had an early and late model versions. Front fender reflector on early model.

I have a thread called tiddler time in other bikes section of the forum. Glad to help any way I can.

The one I am looking at is missing a side cover, a tail light and is not running.  Chrome is OK but not perfect.  Seat is ripped.  Paint is original but faded and has scratches.  I was going to buy it for a fix up and resell project.  i gave them an offer today but they turned me down.  They seem to believe it will fetch around $1000 or more.  They said they had a solid offer of $800 and they turned it down.  I told them to track down the guy who offered them $800 and take it.

I don't believe they had the offer.  So I will give it a week and see what happens.

Yeah, like I said I have seen CT 90 bikes that had under 2000 miles and just about perfect for less than that.

I paid $550 for two. Sold one.

The one I was looking at did not run, had no title, was missing one of the side covers and had normal wear on it.  When I went to look at it the price went way up.  I guess someone must have gotten how ear and told him it was worth more than it was.  He was now thinking it should fetch at least $1000. I left, the bike stayed.

[toytuff]

Smart choice.

Right after I bought mine a guy close to me had a CT-90 with 2000 miles. It did not have the spare tank but looked like new. He was asking $850.00. Yeah, my heart skipped a beat.

Still think I should of bought it and flipped it for profit. Worth twice that as clean as it was.

I bought the '69 with the front fender reflector.  Complete and running but all the cables were in need of replacing.  Here in Arizona they are fairly pricy but I got mine for $600.  For the junk he tried to sell you south of $500 is the ballpark.  Craigslist Phoenix has them all the time running in good condition for less than $1000.

Saw one in New Mexico with 2000 miles. $1500.

The front reflector is the early model. Cables can be bought here.

I have some K-0 parts left over if you are looking for something.
