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.
