Honda file

The C92 replaced the C90 in early 1959, adding an electric starter and crankcase changes to Honda's 125 cc overhead-cam twin. With its pressed-steel frame, leading-link fork, enclosed rear dampers and 16-inch wheels it was a refined small tourer, and it later moved from 6-volt to 12-volt electrics. The sporting CB92 and the 150 cc C95 were built alongside it.
