Classic Honda Trail 90 Op Test
in Motorcycle
Our classic Honda Trail is going up for sale.
That being said, before letting it go I really want to make sure I’m selling it in good condition. Over the last couple weeks, I put in a brand new battery with fresh acid to see if it would solve the charging issues. Sure enough, I think it did! To be fully confident, I took the 90 on a few progressive rides around the neighborhood. The first ride was around a couple of blocks, just toting the range in which the battery used to die. The next ride pushed the limits a little bit more. I took it on a couple-mile loop down to a “secret" spot in my neighborhood where the line between urban and rural fades to nothing. Check out the video to see how it all went!
