I rode a PS 125 in my Race suit. That was fun. And I rode to my bike lessons in Holland on a bicycle in full gear plus helmet (was easier to wear than carry) which was fun.
The cubs are one of the best bikes ever created for town riding… You can nuke, bake, fry and torch them and they’ll still be fine. It’s a cultural thing maybe but come to greece and they are everywhere, still running perfectly fine from the 60s and 70s. Plus of all the small bikes/ scooters, they still look the best
Ok not in leathers/ MX gear but they are the dogs bollocks. I don;t care how many bikes I end up buying, whether they are litre, 600s, nakeds, SMs…my heart will always want one of these bikes. It’s a relic of my childhood and I know more people who have taken their first nervous riding miles on these bikes than there are bikers in the UK.
Indeed, a mate of mine rides like a demon on his! Loves it to bits. Heading into bends and roundabouts he just pins it! He’s annoyed a few big bike riders with his antics! Seen him getting sparks off it throwing it round a roundabout, absolute class.
“Fitting this meant i had to remove the airbox and so i fitted a foam race filter which actually gave the bike an extra 480 bhp !!”
Tempted but I have a feeling it will go for too much. I’ve only ever considered spending about 3-400 or so for one (not expecting it to be immaculate by any stretch) as that’s the sort of price I could pick them up for in greece.
They are after all a very small cc engine.
Never, ever, knock the C90. That thing is a legend in it’s own life time. (Yes. Still in production in parts eastern under a couple of brand names.)
It’s the machine that got the 2nd and 3rd world mobile and has been the mainstay of so many youth motorcycle projects for so many years it deserves a blue plaque of its own.
