I never knew how many small bikes Honda made. I thought there was just the 49cc Cub, the 90cc Street or Trail bikes, and then the Honda CA95!

Thought that one was cool as it has emblems that actually say Benly on them!

Ahh yes the 1960 Benly Racer! Rare bike indeed. I have on of those in my family. Hardest items to get for those CB92s are the little clear "windscreen", tank badges and and original mudflap on the back fender. It's "unrestored" as he says but there are major parts that aren't original on that bike.

And why doesn't he start it up? What a weenie. I would think that it would be worth a lot more running. How cool would that be? Pretty cool to see a good one going for sale on Ebay. This will surely bring a higher price than what is on there right now. I can't wait to see how high it goes.

What major parts have you spotted Ryan, I can only spot one and a few minor things missing.

The seat is weird looking. Is that sprocket original? It looks much newer than the bike.

The rear sprocket is OK but the seat looks a bit suspect.
Red CB92s had black seats and the blue ones had red, I'm not sure about the blue seat, perhaps it got torn, looks like a recover.
