The Ace comes with the old Honda overhead cam engine CB125 and a warranty. Honda claims it's built as a bike taxi so I reckon it's ideal for me, simple but with Honda ruggedness. I'm looking for something that's going to be ridden a few miles a week and will last 10 years or more without needing to be fixed all the time! |
Don't get me wrong paying £700 for a C90 is still very good, even a C90 engine with 50,000 mile's on the clock is still reliable than most bike's, Honda c90's are worth EVERY penny now day's, you can abuse them, run them with no oil, run them on mixed petrol and diesel ( i did this as my old chap got some free mixed fuel ) so so much reliability, maintenance free ( almost ) even if you pay £1000 for one their worth it, if you actually maintained a Honda well with fresh oil and stuff it would be incredibly reliable ____________________ RIP jack (wheelie king), you will never be forgotten.

I don't know much about African markets, other than they are a curiouse confection of regulation & corruption, and you buy what you can get your hands on, 'cos it probably wont be there next week!
Implication is that this is a 'Joint-Venture' deal, the old Kick-Start CG tooling shipped to Africa, where a few components are made, to satisft local regime, that its 'Made in Nigeria', rest sourced from wherever, Brazil, Spain, India, China.... and then assembled in the country.
Locally made, and with the Honda badge, some-one is going to want there to be some 'pride' in the product.... Yeah... I think I'd give it a go over a Jailing or HM direct from the orient.

That's exactly how I feel. The dealer 80 kilos away (the town closest to me has no bike dealers - too small) has got an Ace in stock and I can collect it licensed and registered next week. |
