Honda SRX90 information

Although guilty of over ‘Americanisation’ the styling is actually rather cute, and was aimed by Honda for their Japanese home market well known for their penchant for vintage products. The SRX50 Shadow as it is known in Europe and Joker in Japan has a 48mm bore with 49.6mm stroke giving a swept volume of 89cc. Its compression ration of 6.2:1 adds up to 7.7hp @ 6750rpm. Oddly the model is only sold in the U.K as a grey import, maybe Honda think the ‘Brits’ are too conservative for this stylised design. The number seen on the city streets of London and the popular ‘Surf’ areas of the southwest of the U.K may prove that Honda, this time at least got their marketing strategy wrong! And although looking like a marriage between a Vespa and a Harley, this model was never exported to the USA either.
