Honda S90

The Honda S90 was a key part of the company's 1960s US market expansion, slotting between the utilitarian Super Cub and the off-road CT series. Produced from 1964 to 1969, the S90 used a unique pressed-steel 'T-bone' frame and an 89.6cc OHC single-cylinder engine. It offered a sportier riding experience and styling than many of its small-displacement contemporaries, helping solidify Honda's reputation for quality and performance.

Collectors appreciate the S90 for its classic looks, especially the chrome-sided fuel tank and slim profile. Its mechanical simplicity makes it easy to maintain, and a strong enthusiast community ensures good parts availability. They're approachable, fun to ride, and represent a nostalgic period when Japanese motorcycles were becoming mainstream in America.

The market for the S90 is well-established, with an average sale price around $3,600. While running examples can be found for under $2,000, exceptional, low-mileage, or perfectly restored bikes can command prices approaching $10,000. These bikes represent an affordable and manageable entry point into vintage motorcycle collecting.

Prices range from $1,900 for examples in rider condition to $9,300 for top-tier, concours-level bikes.
