A lot beefier frame and shocks. :8)

On a side note, I absolutely love my CT90. Its fun to bomb around on a bike you can throw around like nothing.
1997 Valkyrie- Light Cutomization, but Too Busy Riding
1980 KZ1300- Bike's Haunted
1976 GL1000 (Yellow)- It Runs (Poorly) and Doesn't Leak (Mostly)
1974 Velosolex 3800- Better Than Walking
1972 CB750- Broke the Chain And Ate the Motor
1969 CT90- The Most Fun You Can Have on 90ccs.
1965 CA77 Dream- Needs a Full Teardown, but Complete

All advice I give is only valid until an expert corrects me.

100 million sold! That’s a bunch! I bought a $400 dollar 71 yellow ct90 about 6 months ago. Hasn’t run
since 1986. Still won’t run, no spark, I hate electrical stuff. One of the best tings in my opinion about those
little guys is they are so light and that they take up very little space in garage. Glad to see them coming back.

Love the red, white, and blue color scheme.

If I had the room, I'd get one just for fun.

If memory serves
Most common no spark issue is dirty points.( under the flywheel ) They need to be clean and gaped to open at "F" on the flywheel mark. Just before TDC-"T"
