are newer honda cubs any good?

Post by eliteguy50 »

Here is an add I found on CL "hi i have a 91 honda cub 90 cc 2 stroke oil injection it runs great.. had new top end in it last year. a couple pieces of plastic are cracked but doesn't effect the running"

Are the new cubs any good? looks like Honda tried to compete with the Zuma (debut 1989) but also keep somewhat of a trail 90 look? Is it like the trail 70 for ride?

what would one be worth?
thanks

I remember those things from some old Nickelodeon game show. I wanted one really bad back then.. They aren't street legal though right?

Could be made legal, needs a lighting coil.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

that snowbike kit would be awesome, a friend had one on his kx500 and it was amazing (warning: upjet required to ride in snow climate). The guy is asking $800 for it.

800 is alright for a running cub, hit him at the knees, walk up with 500 cash and see how low he will go! cubs are badass, lots of offroad guys use them as pit bikes
