Vehicle Description
Welcome to Street Dreams Texas as we Celebrate our 26th year in the
classic and muscle care business. We're happy to offer this really
neat 1973 Honda ST 90 is a classic mini-bike that was designed for
a blend of on and off-road riding. It was part of Honda's ST
series, known in some regions as the Dax or Trailsport. Here's a
breakdown of its features and history: History and design The
Mighty Dax ST90 (often referred to simply as the ST90) was produced
from 1973 to 1975. It featured a unique pressed-steel frame,
reminiscent of a Dachshund dog, which is where the Dax name
originated. This T-bone frame housed the fuel tank and other
components, contributing to its distinctive look. It was marketed
as a Sport Trail bike, offering more off-road capability than its
sibling, the CT90. The ST90 was designed with larger 14-inch wheels
and tires than previous models in the series. Features and
specifications Engine: Air-cooled 89cc (90cc) single-cylinder
engine with a single overhead cam (SOHC) and two valves.
Transmission: Three-speed semi-automatic transmission with a
centrifugal clutch. Suspension: Hydraulic forks in the front and
twin shock absorbers in the rear. Tires: Knobby tires, front and
back, optimized for off-road use. Other features: Twin engine
protection bars, a rear luggage rack, elevated fenders, and high
handlebars. Performance The engine produced 6 horsepower at 8000
rpm. It weighed 85kg dry. The semi-automatic transmission and light
weight made it easy and fun to ride, particularly for younger or
less experienced riders. Collectability Due to its short production
run, the ST90 is becoming increasingly collectible. In essence, the
1973 Honda ST 90 Mighty Dax was a fun and capable mini-bike that
offered a great introduction to motorcycling for many riders in the
1970s. Its unique design, easy-to-ride nature, and relative rarity
contribute to its appeal among collectors today.
