This bloke is riding the Arctic Circle on a Honda C90 to prove that you don't need to have a BMW to take an adventure ride. I think I could accomplish that in a warmer climate, like Miami.

Very nice!
On a 90cc I believe?
It's indeed all you need for a fun ride.
It can't go 100MPH, but at the speeds he's going it has enough traction uphill with luggage, to go about as fast as you can go on the icy roads.

I bought a Honda Super 90 a few years back to restore. I had to sell it when we moved this year. I never had put it in running condition. if I had installed an upswept pipe and smaller countershaft from a Honda C-90, I guess I could have made some adventure rides on it. Hmmm.

If you read on he is doing a group ride from Mongolia to the UK. and doing it on a "Chonda", or Chinese Honda...

That generally means a clone... He is taking a group of riders on that trek on a bunch of clones.. I will have to follow that closely!

The BMW is a beautiful machine, but I'll take the Piaggio X10!
