Niiiiiiice. I know I love my CT90 to death. Those little pit bikes are all kinds of fun.
1997 Valkyrie- Light Cutomization, but Too Busy Riding
1980 KZ1300- Bike's Haunted
1976 GL1000 (Yellow)- It Runs (Poorly) and Doesn't Leak (Mostly)
1974 Velosolex 3800- Better Than Walking
1972 CB750- Broke the Chain And Ate the Motor
1969 CT90- The Most Fun You Can Have on 90ccs.
1965 CA77 Dream- Needs a Full Teardown, but Complete

All advice I give is only valid until an expert corrects me.

When I was in the 5th. grade, my "girlfriend" was the ugliest, fattest girl in class.
Why? well...... she had a ct70 and would let me ride it.

The H model had a manual clutch instead of the centrifugal clutch. It also had four speeds instead of three. Fairly rare. Many people didn't even know they made them that way.
