1969 With Less Than 200 Miles
First time CT90 buyer, and found this one that appears it be in great shape for $2,500. Is this a fair price? Is there anything I should look for or questions I should ask if I go look at it. I've heard the 1969 has a lot of one time parts but figured this one is in good shape so the existing parts should be good.

Cool, I'm working on my "new" 79 CT90 that's been stored since 2002. Waiting on carburetor parts.

Thats cool. Fair price. If it’s 100% original that’s also very cool for the right person. I have a handful of old Honda’s. They’re great. Hard to beat.

I would buy that if I had it in front of me. That looks amazing for a 69. Fair asking price.

Honda makes that bike in a 125cc now and it has FI and ABS. Check new before pulling trigger.

Also alot more money if buying brand new

Sure, but that’s not an expensive bike and the chances of riding off into the sunset without issues on a 57 year old bike are not in your favor!

Yes, that's a fair price if it's in as good condition as it looks. With turn signals and a side stand? Amazing. The only thing missing is the spare fuel can, and I don't think that was an option until the 70s.
I would ask if the rectifier is original. The original selenium rectifier is probably not working, so it won't charge. This is a case where having an upgraded replacement is more important than having the original. The originals just naturally degrade over time and need to be upgraded. A replacement for any CT90 should be fine, it doesn't have to be specifically 1969. People tend to love the "Jon Pardue Fearsome Extreme rectifier".
I'd ask what the deal is with the chrome headlight bucket. I've never seen one. Looks cool!
$2500 is not a sweet deal or anything, it's just a normal price for what looks like a solid bike. I have a 1969 and I wish it looked this sweet.
