SL90 MOTOSPORT 1969 USA

info

Launched into the almost insatiable North American off road market in 1969 the SL90 utilised the 89cc overhead camshaft engine from the S90, although re-tuned for less BHP but more flexibility. The frame was a full cradle type, and with the Hi-Line exhaust and heat shield looked superb.

Cycle World’ when testing in 1960 said “The styling of the new Honda is sharp, functional and crisp” and added “The SL90 is one of the most comfortable small bikes around”. So they liked it back then, and Honda enthusiasts and collectors from the North American continent like it today, good examples being highly sought after!
