The c90 is the only one left in production, yes they do still make them, but they stopped making the c50 ad c70 years ago.
But I think the c70 is still a good bike. They are fuel efficient (About 80mpg) and for their capacity (72cc) they are fast. I would't suggest doing a long journey on one, but as a commuter they're not bad.
It's a semi-automatic, so no clutch, but still has 3 gears. 4 o later models, and the really early ones did have a clutch I think.
It has a kick-start.
The c50, c70 ad c90 follow the same 'stepthru' concept, the only difference being the power.
Why are they called Stepthrus I hear you ask? Well, it's because they are designed so you can step through them, unlike normal motorcycles which you have to jump onto :-)
c50s, c70s and c90s must be three of the easiest bikes to control ever. The steering is superb, it handles like a dream (Actually, it handles like a superdream!) the fuel economy is excellent, they last forever and spares are plentiful and cheap. Actually, it's usually best to buy 2, 1 as your bike and 1 as a spares bike. This way, you can avoid having to shop around for parts.
The 3 c models were introduced in the mid sixties, ad still have the vague styling. The colour options are red or blue, not alot of choice but you could always respray it.
The seat is very comfortable, and the hadlebars are positioned just right for a comfortable ride.
These bikes are 4 strokes, making them slightly harder to maintain than a 2 stroke, but they do use less oil.
Overall, I would say the Honda c50, c70 and c90 is a good choice for a fun little bike.
