I've never 'restored' a motorcycle as such, much preferring to upgrade, modify & tune them, but with the onset of old age comes a shortening of the sight & the quick reactions needed to chuck a performance motorcycle up the Via Gellia to the Cat & Fiddle like I used too. So I've pretty much retired myself to life in the garage.
I've been looking around for a sensible restoration project & somehow become focused on restoring a Honda C90.
My God. Have you seen the prices they fetch?
A ratty old field bike can fetch £800. A mint example will sell easily for £3k !
We used to trade these for conkers & I can't ever remember anyone admitting to paying more than £50 for a road legal one. I used to pass the carcass's of at least 5 when out walking the dog !
So if anyone knows of one sat in the back of a shed anywhere? Fair (current) price will be paid & maybe I'll have a go at my first concours restoration.
