I got this a couple weeks ago, 1977 Suzuki RV90 it was painted all camo and I have since stripped and repainted what I could and cleaned up the existing chrome. Looks pretty good now. Best of all, I have a title and 1991 De. registration for it. I also acquired a "parts bike" last week, it runs but is missing some parts and has low compression. mainly wanted the DMV passable tires that were on it. Does anyone have one of these or MAYBE an electric schematic? I have an issue with the headlight, somebody has been in the headlight bucket and I need to find out what wires go to the headlight. All other electrics work and the headlight is the only thing holding me from getting it passed at Dept. of motor vehicle.

i've seen a few of the RV-90 "Can-Can" around here. one low mile original example (1973 blue) was sold just a month or so ago for $350. i almost bought it, but thought, that's just what i need, a 5th mini-trail.... the Can-Can was marketed to the surfer croud, hence the big balloon tires, good on sand. you could say these are the first "fatcat" bikes from a major motorcycle manufacturer. i hear they were pretty peppy with the 2-cycle 90cc motor. they also made if i remember correctly, a 125cc and a 200cc version. the 200cc being toward the end of the RV's production. anyway, cool bike. the low compression is probably just a reed valve and some rings...

here's another 1973 fairly local to me for $200: http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/mcy/2429523010.html

strange how much more the honda brings than the suzuki. here's a pretty rough 1980 CT70 for $350: http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/mcy/2429902578.html

maybe one of these days the "can-can" will catch on and the price will go up....
