Hello all,

Not a C90 owner just yet. Currently have an MV Agusta Brutale 800rr, previous bikes over the last 20 years include mainly sports bikes, Zx6r, Zx10r, 675r Daytona etc, commuting bikes include Fazers, Aprilia Pegaso, KTM 990 SMT.

Previous Hondas include a ‘blade and a PCX 125. Oh, and an S2000.

I’m really interested in a C90 (and an Ape 100…) to pootle around the lanes and relive my youth when I REALLY wanted a C90 - have ridden a friends dads around a playground, my first experience of an engine.

I’ve missed the boat price wise, the Cubs seem to be appreciating quickly. But thought I’d join here to get to know the community, and learn the finer details of the cub.

Thank you,

Volant

Welcome.

As Spike says there is almost always local knowledge around, this is a proper community. Yes you can lose time on here but just about everything has been covered one way or another.

In case you've not twigged it the best method to search for something specific on here is to Google your query and add "C90Club" to the end. This is quicker and easier than using the forum search.

If you keep an eye on "Local rides" you'll see that it's not unknown to meet up at Rykers, whatever you're riding. I have done it on a Cub in the past but usually on a bike more capable of coping with the M25. We've had the odd ride out from there as well (pre Covid).

Thank you for the advice. Not the only forum where it’s easier to google than search.

I have found a cub, done the deal, and now waiting for it to be delivered. I’ll post some pics when I have it.

Thanks again, and expect plenty of upcoming questions!
