R90S back on the road and MOT'd

[Wanderer]

Well, it's been almost two years. But they do say that if a job's worth doing, then it's worth doing properly My 90S finally came back together a couple of months ago. Then, she wouldn't start. After some advice on here (thanks Proff et al), I changed the points. She fired straight up. Then, just a matter of waiting for the weather to cheer up so that I could get MOT'd. That happened today at Southport Superbikes - cheers Jim. Also huge thanks to Phil and Steve for mechanical prowess. Not only did she pass the test, but she's balanced too (by ear/experience as the Dell Orto's don't have take-off ports for a balancer)

Absolutely great ride to and from Southport

Light years ahead of anything around at the time IMHO.

She's a beaut'........A 'One Day' 'bike if ever there was one......Recently, came close to buying one, but it wasn't to be......

Lovely, I've fancied an R90s for years, but unable to find one at the right price.

Heres a pic of my old R100S that I restored a few years back, not quite the same as an R90s, I wish I hadn't sold it.

 

[Wanderer]

That's a lovely bike Fatal. The red and black fade scheme is really growing on me. Looks like a great restoration and a credit to you The R100S (along with an R80G/S) is a bike I'd love to get next. Mind you, that'd require a lottery win! In fact, should my lottery numbers come up that'd be my dream garage: the 'S' line up. R90S, R100S, R100CS, R1100S, Boxercup, R1200S and the new R1200SHP thingy. Maybe, just maybe

Cheers Will, I need a lottery win to finance my fantasy garage as well.

Hi Proff.

You're a very bad man! A R100CS. Ooooh. Get thee behind me satan! If only I had the cash, I'd be there! Could offer a trade involving a very nice Rukka suit

Seriously, it'd be nice just to see the pics, if that's possible?

 

[(RIP) Proff]

I'll get her out of the barn and take pics soon Will
She runs superb and handles bootiful....
THEN she will be up for sale ......
