Description

The one that started it all! The Honda US90


The 1970 Honda US90, known for its balloon tyres, & the ability to tear down quickly, to fit in the back of most cars. Clever marketing by Honda saw the little trike being touted as a ride anywhere/do anything machine, & it delivered. Through the '70's, highly modified versions of the US/ATC90 filled the grids at local tracks, until the ATC250R was released in 1981. Many of the US/ATC90 racers went on to become the pro's that we cheered on back in the day, & still revere to this day.
