HONDA Super 90 Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

The Honda Super 90, also known as the Sport 90 and S90 was an ultra-lightweight motorcycle powered by a 90cc engine based on the Honda Super Cub. The bike was manufactured from 1964 until 1969 in various forms, like the S90Z in Indonesia.

In 1964, the Japanese bike maker introduced the Honda Super 90, a small displacement motorcycle known by various names, like the Honda S90, CS90, Sport 90, Benly 90, and S90Z.

The bike was made around a pressed steel frame instead of tubular steel to reduce weight. It was fitted with a telescopic fork on the front for improved handling and dual shock absorbers on the rear.

As for braking, the motorcycle's wire-spoke wheels were fitted with internal expansion drum braking units both front and rear, delivering optimum stopping power.

The bike's visual department was characterized by standard features, such as a round headlight upfront, a fuel tank with chromed side panels, a one-piece dual seat, side-mounted rear shocks, a center stand, and wire-spoke wheels.

In the performance department, the 1964 Honda Super 90 had its soul brought to life by an 86cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine mounted at its core, delivering 8 hp with a peak force at 8,000 rpm.

A four-speed manual transmission redirected the power generated by the engine to the rear end via a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to 103 kph (64 mph).
