Interesting ad, as the 87cc OHV CM90 model pictured was never actually sold in the USA..... The 87cc OHV engine had been available in the CT200 Trail 90 and the C200 road bike (tank between knees and manual clutch) , but by the time the road-going stepthru 90 got to market it was the replacement OHC 89cc CM91 (the ad copy says OHC too, though the pic is clearly the pushrod engine). The bike in the pic certainly looks prepared to US spec.. No indicators (rubber grommets in the rear holes and empty clear lenses at the front, just like the CA100) US-spec tail lamp and bracket (again same as CA100) and the Scarlet red paint. Other things of note are the two-tone dualseat from the C65 (never seen that on any country's 90 - always plain black) the use of the full-length rear mudguard/fender (the US CM91 got the shortened one from the Trail 90), the '90' badges on the side panels and reflectors in the legshields (neither fitted on US CM91).. The 'Cub 90' tank badge also couldn't have made it to market as Piper Aircraft had the Cub name copyrighted for transport in the USA, so US CM91 just said 'Honda 90' on the tank badge. The pic also seems to be a 1964-5 model - the sidepanel '90' badges and speedo cable clip on the front mudguard both changed to the CM91 style for the last CM90s in 1966. So..... I think .. just conjecture.. maybe American Honda had ideas of launching the CM90 in 1965, didn't do so for whatever reason, then used the pic they'd taken for these ads a year later by which time the bike had changed... and incidentally the US stepthru bubble was already bursting.. American Honda was selling 1966 manufactured C100s and CM91s right up to 1970!
Most engine swaps on motorcycles are sensible. People will stick a SR400 engine into a British plunger frame. They’ll lower
