Honda Super Sport Chart


I defined the models included in this chart in the previous Honda Super Sports post, so I won't repeat that information here. Suffice it to say that the Sport and Super Sport Cub 50's and the Sport 65 have been included in the Scrambler Chart. That leaves the SS Chart beginning with the Sport 90 and ending with the CB-450. Of course there are many Honda Super Sports larger than the 450, but according to the rules defining the parameters of Tiddlerosis, no machines in the official half-liter (500cc) and larger classes are included.

All S90's had Y-shaped pressed-steel frames, 18" wheels, kick starters, OHC single-cylinder engines,four-speed transmissions, speedometer in the headlamp nacelle, body-colored rear shock covers, rubber gaiters over the front springs, and distinctively slender gas tanks with chrome sidepanels and rubber knee pads. The latest models had turn signals.

All the CB-92 Benly models had pressed-steel frames, leading link front suspension, uncovered chrome rear springs, SOHC twin engines with single carburetors, and silver painted front fenders, gas tanks, and side covers. The silver painted pieces were alloy on the early models and steel on the later ones. The black rubber kee pad was unusual in that it was one piece that wrapped around the rear edge of the tank. The 1962 CB-92 had a red seat without a center strap and with white piping on the sides. The CB-92R models had higher-tuned engines and a tachometer in place of the speedometer in the headlamp housing.

All models had SOHC twin engines with single CV carburetors, pressed-steel frames, instruments in the headlamp nacelle, rubber gaiters on the front springs, and four-speed transmissions. Note: At least one credible source has informed me that some SS-125's were painted yellow, a color that, according to the brochure chart, was reserved for the equivalent CL model, just as black was indigenous to the SS model. I cannot confirm the existence of yellow SS-125's, as I have never seen one, either in person or in a photo. I have never seen a black CL-125, either, but that does not prove they were never built and shipped to the USA.

All models had SOHC twin engines suspended from a tube frame painted the body color, four-speed transmissions, electric starters, instruments in the headlamp nacelle, and drum brakes. None had turn signals and all the headlights and front and rear shock covers were painted the body color. All blue models had blue seats.

The engine was bored out to 305cc over the regular Hawk's 247cc. White models had white fenders and side covers. All others had silver ones, just like all the CB-72 models. The last 1000 1968 models can be identified by their chrome fenders and oval taillamps. The early '68 models were replaced by the new 350's in the spring of 1968.

All CB-450's had single-downtube frames, 18-inch wheels, dual CV carburetors, and DOHC twin-cylinder engines. These last two attributes were introduced on the 450 for the first time on a street production Honda. The original 450, nicknamed the Black Bomber, had a speedo and tach housed in the headlight nacelle, humpback gas tank, silver painted fenders, and black plastic upper shock covers. The K1 had a trimmed down tank, separate instruments, and chrome fenders and rear springs. The K2-K7's all had sleek, painted gas tanks, chrome fenders, separate instruments, and sportier suspension styling with rubber gaiters on the front and chrome rear springs with chrome upper covers.
