Greeting from Australia

Post by JonFoster » Wed Mar 20, 2019 4:03 am

Hi All,
I recently purchased a 1983 C90D Super cub here in Brisbane, Australia.

Have since been trawling the internet for more information on the bike. Doesn't look as those the UK had the C90D although had the versions either side C90C and C90DD?

Will be the third owner and its all in good shape for its age.

The C90C is rare over here and was only made a couple of years.
Lovely.
The chainguard would be the same colour as the frame for the C model.

Thanks all.

It came with the original Australian sales brochure, the indicators look to be original for the C90D here.

It's an absolute cracker and, as you say, totally original.
Loved the brochure.

Also mentions "powerful headlight".

Shocking lack of proper proof reading.
