- I start to work on one of my Grandpa's mint, rare Honda s65s. This bike is in mint condition and all original. It has been sitting for a very long time! Can we fix it and make it run? #Honda, #Rare, #Fix,

Thank you for all your support!
Stuff like what you get your hands on are stupid money over here in england.take them old cr's for instance .everyone wants the old motor x bikes i see them goin for ridiculous money.
hey Joe,, how much you get for it? I have a mint 1964 benly baby dream 150 twin cylinder single carburetor
Have a great year my friend! All the best to you and your family
Why take the carb off b4 you know if it runs or not? Cool bike though.
happy new year to you bud
I had this exact motorcycle. Got it April 68 when I turned 14 and always think back to that summer as the best of my childhood/early adolescence. Freedom in red. Could get almost 60mph with a strong tailwind.
It was your grandfathers, don't sell that bike. Keep it , find an exhaust, get a battery, straighten the foot peg , and use it as a bike to get doughnuts on
I would never sell that bike. Keep it in the family of u got the spare cash for it
@tomlenza2768 that was exactly my thought, out of all the rubbish he buys , this bike he doesn't buy? You don't even tell your grandfather, you just give him the cash , tell him it sold!
It’s a Honda ! It’s like having a Swiss watch ! They are definitely bulletproof !
In 1964 my dad brought home a frame and a bushel basket of parts for the 50cc version of this bike. A few days later, my brother-in-law and I had it together and running. The rear tire was bald so I bought the nearest one I could find, a knobby scrambler tire. I rode it year-round in snow, rain, or extreme heat and it never let me down. Of course, I was riding it illegally because I was underage but I never got caught. I was brutal to this little bulletproof bike and it never complained. I ended up selling it when I got my driver's license and had access to the family car. Since then, I've owned many bikes of all sizes, styles and origins. Now I'm an old man on a Sportster. Still ridin'.....
My twin brother and I pooled our cash and bought one for $100 when we were about 13. I still have dreams about going out in the garage and finding it there. So cool to see one again.
You should be keeping this one bro forever
Was there ever any doubt that honda would run😂
Not at all my friend not at all
I have one in black, awesome bike to ride around town was my grandfather's
That's awesome!
Thts so cool
I've certainly never seen a black one - must be really rare
@@BattlecatRed Most of those in GB are black but they were usually 50 or 90 cc models, it seems the 65 cc model was for the American market.
I had one they run for ever if you reasonably look after them.
@@viviennehateley1843 Thanks! I had a black 1965 Super 90. I loved that little bike. Poor little thing, I was young and didn't maintain it as I should have. I drove it into the ground...
Kudos to your Grandfather for taking such good care of the bike.Very nice
This was the bike I learned to ride as a 12 year old. Not the exact model, mine was a 66’ 90cc. I’m surprised the old Honda didn’t start on the first kick.
By far best audio intro and camera work yet my friend, I felt it👍😎
That little bike scoots right along. Much cooler than a moped. Happy New Year!
I had one exactly like it , same color, brings back a lot of memories. One day my buddy and I were going down the river and he had a Honda 90 and I drove off in a deep spot and my buddy was up on the bank laughing at me and I yelled at him to get his ass down here in the water and help me get it out!!! It took me about 2 hours to get it started. I drove that little bike all over , it was a great little bike.
Awesome bike man I've been following for several years now and its great to see how far and the mount of knowledge you have gained i have also learned a lot from watching you...happy holidays from our family to yours ✌
Your grandfather had some pretty nice toys! Living the vintage life!
That thing is a beauty. A little tip, it might seem like those oily fingerprints on the tank are insignificant but if left, they can potentially damage that original paint. You should give it a wipe down from time to time.
When you're starting a bike that's been standing, if you squirt a bit of 2 stroke gas into the spark plug hole, itll help lubricate the piston and save your bore. New battery would be nice, but the battery on these bikes is there more as a regulator than anything else. New petcock rubber, 5 bucks. New petcock, 20 bucks. Sweet little fun bike should be good for another 50 years if kept lubed up properly...
😀👍
Honda have always been the most reliable make in the world👌👌fact👌👌👌👌
Love the videos keep up the good work and have a great new year
Bro you find some of the coolest stuff. I live in a big college town and never find anything good.
That bike is amazing, it’s still running great 53 years after it was made.
In the early seventies, my first bike was a Honda 55. Wonderful little motorcycle. I did not know anything about motorcycles, engines at all, but it bent a valve one time and I fixed it myself. It was so simple nobody had to tell me how. No, I did not use a torque wrench or a feeler gauge, LOL.
You should buy it from your grandfather and just keep it. Maybe some day little Joe would like to ride his great grandpa's bike
Such a beautiful, well taken care of bike.
The cam is behind that casing a bolt runs through the centre from the other side of the cylinder head.
I was cringing the whole time he was hitting it with a screwdriver and hammer. I guess that's how we learn.
I had one just like it. 1968. Great little bike, rode it everywhere back in the late 60s. It never let me down.
Hey Joe happy new year buddy and also i want to say that bike is a diamond my dude.... Wish you the best
It had enough power to pop wheelies pretty easily and I was able to pull nearly 60mph out of mine. Thanks for the memories, man!!
Had to start laughing hard at the "oil light" comment. Beautiful machine, just started looking for one of these and all the CA sizes
Very nice little honda, wouldnt say shes been sat 50 years, id say shes been messed about with at some point, those cheap jubilee clips on the intake manifold are abit of a giveaway
Great find. They are fast bikes for what they are. I miss those small displacement Hondas, I wish they'd bring them back.
This next year they are bringing back small displacement Hondas. There ya go
@@user-fi3fx5my2s well it's about damned time. Of course they'll be priced out of this hemisphere....
Nice to see a vintage bike live again
Doctor!!!! Excelent!!!! ..... Greating from Chile!!!! Happy new year!!!
I had one as my first street bike.
Looked exactly like that except lower flatter bars.
Great to see something different instead of dirt bikes.
I really like your Grandpas bike, I have a 1967 Honda CL90 that is similar to that little gem, but is more of a scrambler style with chrome fenders and telescoping forks. Fortunately I have an original Chiltons shop manual for all the information that you were fumbling around trying to figure out. My old Honda isn't as sweet as that one, but it is in very good shape and has been stored since the early 1970s out of the weather. The children of the owner didn't like the original color (red?) and took the bike apart, painted it green, and like is often the case the kids were not able to put the fairly new bike back together again. They soon lost interest in their project and the parts were stuffed into a couple of boxes until I received the Honda and reassembled it with the help of Chiltons excelent book. I was able to locate a few missing parts at a local motorcycle salvage yard, but the rubber parts were pretty rough so I never started the engine and took it for a ride. I owned a Harley Davidson at the time, so cruissing the Honda 90 not a big priority... Then life happened, and I got old as dirt, so I need to sell my old Honda just like your Gramps.... maybe I should make a video like you did?? Best of luck to you young man with your channel. Thank you for sharing that great vintage bike.
I have a z50 that my bosses old friend put one of these 65cc motors on it and it's an absolute riot, I bought it last fall. The oil lines on the carbs confused me more than I'd like to admit but after some research it's to add a little heat to the carb. Great video!
The year was 1978, Christmas day. Had been telling my mom that I wanted a dirt bike all year long like all my friends had in our neighborhood. So my mom walked us over to the neighbors house where she had kept mine and my Brothers Christmas presents hidden away for the last couple of weeks. The drum roll sounded and the garage door lifted as I could just imagine jumping and racing against my friends on the track behind my house... but when my and my Brothers eyes finally gazed on the
sight before us, I could have swore we heard
the happy days song playing in a not so happy rendition. For me, a black HONDA 65, and for my older brother, a blue HONDA 90.
My mother must not have known the difference between a street bike and a dirt bike. But we all have to play the cards life deals us. That HONDA 65 looked pretty
cool flying off the jumps behind our house with the white vinyl wrap around the seat
and the rubber on chrome fuel thank pads!
But when it Landed on that stupid swing arm front suspension, I don't think we were saying to ourselves "Thanks mom for the Dirt Bikes"!
Those are highly sought after collectibles. That one looks very original.
We have 2, (50cc “Cubs” )- 1965 & 66. In the family for 40+ yrs.
Nice score 👍
Super Rare!!! Immaculate wow!!!! Sweet, gold mine, get er running kid!!!
Wishing your Grandfather a get well soon. Wow, classic motorcycle in great shape. The wife looked pretty comfortable - makes a great anniversary gift.
Was nerve racking watching you take the cam gear cover off the bolt is on the other side I wish you looked before giving up or hitting at it
Was about to say the same thing
Haha same here
Me too was saying it to the TV hahaha that's why it's good to have a manual handy sometimes
And the oil gets warm it goes by the carburetor it's not a 2-stroke or it wouldn't have valves
That all doesn't mix with the gas Einstein it tells a carburetor manifold when it's warm only it's a 4-stroke
Its a mix between Derbi antorcha and Montesa impala, beautiful! 🇪🇦
You should buy it from your grandpa and sell one of the others.
Buy it from your grandpa and keep it in the family those things are getting really rare and hard to find in that excellent of shape. One of these if you have kids you could pass it down. Thing is a time zone.
You meet the nicest people on a Honda!
That sounds so good just like a Honda grom!
My brother bought me a 1970 model Honda XR-75, we got it from my friend, he raced motorcycles. He upgraded in his class and sold it to me. It went 45 MPH. I know it was bored, and had a larger carburator. No telling what else was done to make it fast. I had a blast on that bike. Some twin friends of mine got Honda XR-80 bikes, but they could not keep up with me. It was so much fun! I would like that own that bike.
Great content, sweet bike, I noticed you dump the clutch alot on starts.
Watch the intake valve as you turn the engine. As it begins it close, the piston is coming up to top dead center. Put a soft probe into the spark plug hole or watch for the piston coming to the top. You are now at TDC. Valves can be adjusted at this point.
My uncle has one that is just like this he had fully restored, that line is a crank case vent, just like on a car it uses the vacuum to help with blow by
Me and my mate got hold of cub 90s effortlessly 20 years ago, we would ride them hard all day long, summer after summer, I had a mint red economy c90 with electric start! That model fetches a few grand now, craziness
You guys rock, that bike is cool. Sounds good the the pipe open
I got a proper set of tiny signals from one a scrapped years ago, just got the engine and signals left, I like that those bikes have a clutch
Oooh you got one of those ! Love it you should keep it man
Man, I'm from Russia. And I like what you do. 😏Good luck in the new year
We've got one of those in our basement, super cool seeing the same bike but in action.
Love the content. Just tell me you put the loose washer from the banjo bolt I saw on top themotor back lol
Beautiful bike awesome video man
Oh my god, this brings memories! Many a Polish biker from the 2000s onwards started their motorcycling and motorcycle wrenching career on mopeds with Chinese copies of this venerable horizontal-cylinder Honda engine! It's called 139FMB
Wow that’s mint! Good vid!
Very cool happy new year and yes u will need the battery and btw running it with out a good battery will blow every bulb it has lol
My first bike, at 14yo. Great video.
You can soften the old rubber with brake fluid. Makes wonders.
You get your hands on some right gems ....
He does here in uk prices on these things r nuts
Man, the engine sound is crazy good!
I love these old Honda scooters! Reminds me of the Super Cub.
I also cringed when you started prying and beating on the cam cover.
Yep it's through bolted
This was my first bike when I was 16. The UK ones had flat bars. The line to the carb is for oil heating the carb. If it's removed the carb will freeze up in cold conditions.
Thank you. He can figure it
I saw an old vid of your 98 cr 250 with the TAG metals bars where did you get those graphics and the bars for it it looks really good
My firs bike was a '68 Honda S65 exactly like that. I went on to other bikes and gave it to my brother years later who then sold it.
Wish I still had it!
So awesome i hope you keep it
I owned one of those as a kid! Not much suspension on it, but scooted up the road pretty decent! Have it's "little brother" Honda 55 sitting in the garage still.....
Wanna say that pegged out mine was good for just over 50 mph.... Made me grin watching this vid! Keep up the good work.
All's well with you try'n to help Gramp's out......but you definitely need a crash course in Honda Motorcycles. Your young and have a way's to go yet......keep plug'n along, and good luck.
Gotta get some heat in that garage....best thing I ever did...."Happy New Year" You should buy that and keep your Grandpa's spirit going! Nice bike to collect! Keep it ...you will be glad you did!....If not let us know when it's listed on Ebay.
home made waste oil heater works great
Damn you’re picking up so many bikes and quads I can’t keep up with all the builds did he finish everything???
Nice bike! I got a Honda C70 step through moped virtually same as that except it's a 3 speed semi automatic so no clutch 70cc, engine and head basically the same from outside it's original 1980 here in London England, done 25k miles in its first 10 years then hasn't moved since 1990! Was mint until few years back got left out in rain unknowingly and rusted away pretty much everything other than frame and engine so I want to do a full restoration on it when I have the time and money bit of nostalgia as I had it since o was 15 when my cousin gave it to me he was first or second owner so want to keep it in family sentimental reasons, Honda Cub biggest selling motorbike ever made 140million sold I think worldwide but remember as a kid my mate had same motorbike as this one you're selling not in this condition though it was old then and we'll used but it wasn't terrible like an antique light blue/green and chrome from memory.. nice bike! Think if it was me I'd have to keep it 😎
Yes... i had a 1974 st90 with that funny 3 speed trans and no hand clutch... shift pattern was 3 down... the original "paddle shift" concept... it only did like 40 mph
great looking little bike mate
Definitely a super cool rare honda
We used to bore our SS50 with this gem of a piston,it was very possible,but the sleeve was pretty thin after
Awsome vid 👍👍
Amazing shape for the age. sure it's going to be slower than snot, but it would make a good town cruiser.
Sweet bike , Classic , thanks .
Hope it goes to good home and is properly looked after not mucked with, credit to Grandpa for looking after it good. Honda Cub are very popular and sell for a good price!!
I would recommend on bikes like this that havnt run in that long to fog the cylinder with some fogging oil before turning over like that after sitting
Looks amazing
Dude, you need to keep your grandpa's Honda! I own a 1968 honda cm91. Same Vintage as me!
Started it in gear, good sign. Check oring in sediment bowl to they go bad fast!! 🎉
think you should buy this off your grandpa for Jade she seemed to really like it and keeps it in the family
Little 6 volt battery like my 125 has. Your lucky, i would love to have one of those to work on. And not broken crap. Sweet!
I actually cringed when I saw the adjustable wrench, glad you came to your senses. I'm a new subscriber and love the videos, keep em coming. I actually use these to teach my grandkids about bikes. Sorry, don't give you credit, they just think old grandpa is really smart. Lol
that cringe… same here!
I think that is the model that was fitted with a belgian made push rod engine. Later ones had the japanese OHC engine.
In actual fact both models were derived from the honda SS50 50cc enginewhich was bored out to 64cc.
Nice bikes but for their engine size they were too heavy on petrol. Which is probably why they were only in production for a relatively short time.
Probably worth doing a concourse renovation on this machine.
definitely NOT pushrod valve actuation; you can clearly see the overhead cam cover (i.e. the cover he couldn't remove @10:30) on the left side of the cylinder head.
I had a S65 back in 1968, exacly the same!!!
That’s a keeper Joe
A cool old bike it took me back to 1977 when i had a Honda 50cc 1966. it only did about 40 mph flat out but that thing started first kick.stay safe...V....
I owned a 65 in 1969. Bought used for $100.00. Road it through the summer of '69 and bought a '69 Suzuki T125 Stinger for $475.00. Only had to replace the Honda's generator. The bike would start and run without a battery. For a small bike I was surprised how heavy it was.
Just a helpful tip try using some ATF to soften up old rubber seals and things like that
Man that's an awesome little motorbike, I'm sure it ran just as good now than it did when it was built 50yrs ago, and if the truth be known,, the pepcock was probably leaking within a few hours or days after leaving the assembly line 50yrs ago..lol
Have a CL 70 think is a 1971, it has a battery but could catch in in gear to start.
perhaps the line from crankcase to carb inlet is the crankcase /gearbox vent
The bolt that holds on that cap you're hammering on is on the other side my God it goes all the way through the camshaft
I would check the valves and see where the timing is set. I had the 50cc in in about 61 and it had a lot more poop that that 65. Most of the ones you saw were black so the red ones were very rare.
