When I was a kid and the S90's first came out, I lusted for one. It never happened though.😥 Enjoy that lil' puppy!

  Nice bike! Those are awsome bikes.
  I was shopping for an S90 but a friend had a nice QT50 Yamaha for sale with a title, nos seat and owners manual. I had to buy it for our pit bike. It's a little short on mph but I haven't burned the oil out of the muffler yet. 
No matter how many times you paint over a shadow, it's still there.
If you love it, set it free, if it stays it's probably one of my 750's.

Still have the bike. Still ripping it around. Getting cold here in New England. I gave it the big bore treatment. 50mph is easy and I am smiling.

That's a Nice S90 Stev-o.  8) I like the extra padded seat but that taillight is a boat anchor for that bike.
I love the fairing on your Park Racer behind it !

It is a nice seat and in perfect condition.  The tailight has already been removed, it wasnt even hooked up, a proper S90 taillight has been ordered.  Why do PO's do stoopid #$%*e?!

I finally had to part with the S90. My daughter really wanted an atv. I couldn't afford one so I did an even swap for an old Honda Fourtrax and an old school mini bike.

Feel a little burned and regret but, kid loves the atv. 4x4 is alot more useful around the farm.

Keep an eye out for plastics!

  • So, what do ya wanna talk about today?
You need to get a CL90 now Frankie, so you can go moto-crossing in miniature! I bought a 1967 CL90 last year from the original owner, it's been on a farm from when he got it, so it's well used and slightly abused, but it's a cute little thing. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I think the farmer I bought them from used them as "Bark Busters". (hand protectors) Obviously they're no longer on the little bike, I took them off as soon as we got it to Spotty's place. The owner stopped riding bikes 10 years ago after he hit a Kangaroo on is Harley and now has an acquired brain injury, but I'm pretty sure he had them on the CL90 before he rattled his brain. ;D
