We have two Vintage Trail-Bikes that are the perfect accessory to go along with our 1973 Seeker Travel Trailer. These are just right for my 11 year old Grandson and me.

Oh man, that 78 Honda Trail 50 sure does bring back some memories. My brother and I both had one as kids, and I think we logged a few thousand miles in the backyard track.
Grew up on 5 acres and we wore those things out back there!
Thanks for the pic's

Just goes to show yeah.... you don't need the latest or greatest to have fun. Looks kool and brings back a ton of memories. There was kid at the end of my road that had a Honda 50. Fun bike.
My first bike as a kid was a Kawasaki 80 then a KD175, jumped to a 360YZ. Soon after that I bought a new IT400 Yamaha in my senior year. Dad co-signed for me. I did it by washing dishes after school.
Thanks for the memories, have fun too while you can.

The trail 90 still looks good at 37 years old.Can you keep up with highway traffic on it(55-65 MPH)?If I remember correctly they can get around 75-80 MPG.Nice combo.

robwen...thanks
everymilesamemory...I always wanted one as a kid but,we just couldn't afford one.
Michcruiser60....you are so right,you don't need the latest greatest thing to have fun. My first bike was a 1969 Honda CB350 and my Father also co-signed for it. Insurance was $25.00 a year.
Live42day....every one that see's them loves them
nowgrn4...The trail 90 goes about 45 to 55 mph and gets around 80to 90mpg.

Oh believe me, I think my dad pilfered them out of some garbage pile, and neither of ours ever looked as good as yours did.
My dad worked in Detroit and we live 50 miles away, so it seemed like every other week he was coming home with another one he would find in the garbage.
My brother and I had a barn full of parts to swap out as we would wreck ours. Great memories from such cheap fun!

Nice bikes, I'll take this one. It still looks new.
Here's our two youngest daughters on my wife's mother's 1983 Suzuki QuadRunner LT 125, the worlds first 4-wheeled ATVs.
They still have it and it still runs like new. They also have a very nice Honda Fat Cat with less than 800 miles on it.

A fat cat with less than 800 miles on it, someone need to be out there riding that thing more!
I put that many miles on our Honda Trail 50's per summer as a kid!
