Kids. :?

Honda sold a bazillion of those things. Many a dirt rider got his start trying to "scramble" one of those monsters. It was '68 and the first DT-1 before things started looking up.

I remember running circles around them on my Suzuki 90. Honda made a 175 model also.

'You meet the nicest people on a Honda'

The girl across the street from me had a boyfriend who had one of these, and his buddy had a Honda Dream. I was about 11 years old and used to beg them to take me for a ride. They'd do it I'd go crazy trying to get my parents to buy me a bike.

The 305 was so successful Honda did a whole series, 175, 160, 90 and I had a 125, just like this one.

Honda "Benly" 150cc twin.

The suspension is inspired by Cadillac. It's the bee's knees on thermal expansion joints but desperate elsewhere.

I suggest Dramamine for any sort of extended excursion.

Honda step though? Thats what my dad called 'em. We used to have a bunch (5-6) of those in the back yard when I was a kid. Loads of fun slaming into each other in the "Front yard 100" <img class= " title="Laughing">

Yep, a true "moped". Check the pedals, no pegs.

That's a cool pic. My best friend had a 250 scrambler & we rode it everywhere. Loved the sound they made with the baffles in the pipes turned sideways.

My dad has a 90 that he keeps in a spare bedroom. He is the only person that has ever started it. Took it out of the crate himself probably 6 years ago.
