Up for sale is an amazing barn find 1967 Honda S90 that is all original. This bike was purchased from the original owner, along with a black S90 of the same vintage. I found this bike, not far from my home town of Bakersfield, CA. The owner of this bike purchased these bikes for his twin sons back in the mid 1960s to commute back and forth from school. They were very well cared for, as seen in the pictures, until they were put away many, many years ago. They have been stored indoors, and as such, they have remained in excellent condition. This bike, showing 17236k original miles, starts, runs, shifts and stops like a new bike. There is no smoke on start-up, no funny noises, and all systems work as they should. After purchasing this bike, I only gave it a very minor service that included new fluids, new bulbs, a rear inner tube, a carb clean and a battery. The bike fired up very easily and required very little in the way of tuning after it came back to life. Please refer to the pictures and video of the bike. It will best describe the condition of this time capsule. There is no documentation or service history, other than what was verbally communicated to me, and a couple of pictures of his sons on these bikes. This bike will be sold with a BILL OF SALE only. The owner has long since misplaced the title. The last registration was in the late 60's so it is well out of the DMV system. It retains its original black plate, tags from 1965 and 1967, and the San Jose Honda frame around the plate. The key is original and actuates the ignition and steering lock. The key chain is period, and shows the selling dealer with an original 5 digit CA phone number. The tires, as pictured, are very old, but still supple, and with the new tubes, hold air. I'd recommend new tires, for safety, before any real riding is done. Please feel free to comment on this auction. Ask questions and contact me if you'd like to schedule a pre purchase inspection.
