I saw this the other day, what a nice little scoot for the city.

Coo, we had a bunch of different years S90, from 1965 to 69 (or 70?)
That's one of the earlier ones 65 or 66. They used an alloy cylinder on 66 model and tanks/panels changed over the years
My brother did some crazy work on his, 70mph in third gear, nearly 90 in top
It was 'heavy' on big end bearings though ;)
 
I had a Suzuki 90 for a while, it was like riding a bicycle with a 90cc smoker, lots of fun, lots of wallowing in corners.
 
It had clip-on's and rear-sets as well 8)
Wasn't too unusual in late 70's Britain, 'WE' were still winning a lot of GP's (Barry Sheene, et. al.)
Later model had pressed swing arm with a brace tube, we fitted footrests into the brace and reversed gear-change lever.
Can't remember what we did about rear brake?
 
That sounds cool.

On this bike I like how the seat hump continues the gas tank ridge them.

How high did that little engine rev, must have sounded wonderful,
 
Only about 10,500rpm
Ended up with stock exhaust because otherwise it attracted way too much of the 'wrong' attention ;)
Didn't seem to limit the power though (after a sharp 3/4" rebar 'tuning' 8) )
