I bought one new in '69 and put a little over 78k miles on it between H/S and college. Great little bike.

Wow! I never achieved that many miles. Of course, we tortured it.
My CT90 was a 1968. We had a ball with that bike. While I've owned many, many motorcycles, that bike was among the most fun. I really won't claim it was all that tough, or all that capable. But it was light, my girlfriend could ride it, and it had a super low range Hi/Lo secondary transmission. Which allowed it to climb stupidly steep hills, such as up very rocky mountainsides. Something a larger, more modern bike could not do. I'd pick my way around the boulders, lift the bike over other obstacles and continue on.
Maybe I was a bit rough on it, as it was always broken.... Even so, fond memories!
I did a search for CT90's for sale. It seems good ones are selling for well over $1000! I'm tempted...
