Ghey as fook.

I love it. Health to enjoy man. :thumbup:

Does it have the ANF125 engine?

Tubeless tyres now?

Take out the centre stand pin when it's new and grease it up,they seize over time and are a bugger to get out.

Collected the Cub from Dobles in Coulsdon yesterday.

Strange useing the old auto-clutch tranny again after 20 odd years, and it was like meeting an old friend.

I've owned a few C90s over the years, and they were mega reliable, getting me to and from work, and even the odd long-ish trip to the coast etc.

They were all fairly well thrashed in the time I owned them, and they recieved minimal maintenance, but I did very regular oil changes, as they don't hold a lot of oil, and I think that helps a lot.

Givi topbox on order, which is a must, as you can carry fuck-all on these little bikes.

As in the past, I can see me riding this a fair amount, in most weathers, as I do enjoy riding them as much as I enjoy riding most of the bikes that I've owned over the years.

Small bikes can be fun too. :thumbup:

Do they still have the toe and heal gear changer and still 3 speed. ? We used to have one for messing in the fields, well, a lap around the perimeter taking turns, great fun. 👍

Exactly the same, but 4 speed now. Also fully cyclic as the later c90s. That is, N-1-2-3-4-N, or you can go back down the box using the heal.

Obviously, a bit more grunt with the extra 34cc.

A wee bit of pressure on the gear lever to activate the clutch,then it allows you to give it a blip to ease the downchange. I loved my little Innova. It was the tubed tyres that became a dealbreaker,as every puncture was game over.
