Honda CB92

**seymour14** · 2nd January 2013, 14:54

Something a little different. We have a CB92, however, it does not go very fast due to the fact it has no engine! Dad had this bike from new, but when someone back in the 70's asked to use the engine in a homebuilt bike it was promptly taken out for that purpose, it was then completely wrecked and thrown away!

So now we have everything minus a motor, it will be quite rare, but you never know, maybe someone out there has an engine for one of these and no use for it. We can swap or buy, so would be keen to hear from anyone, as these were little beauts in there day.

I am doing this on Dad's behalf, so give us a message if you can help or have an interest in these machines.

You could probably slap a CB125 motor in it?

any chinese made engine clones that would fit?

We like to keep these things as they were if possible. Might be lucky to find one though, our sources reckon there are only two in the country, ours being one of them. Hoping back in the day some engines came in for other reasons, or one has been trashed in due course of its life!

There were a fair few of them made (24k or so). If you could source a C92 engine I imagine it'll fit
To my knowledge the CB125T (early points models) fan the same motor, maybe with different gear and kick start levers.
They run the same bore/stroke but I'm not sure if the CB125 has the extra crank bracing of the 92.

Good luck finding parts, they're pretty sort ofter overseas, but I would expect there to be a few more then 2 in NZ

A useful source for part numbers etc http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb92-benl...002/partslist/

Sweet bike mate. Sorry can't help with the engine though. I guess you have tried ebay and the likes? Could try David Silver too but i'm guessing you already know all of these.
You have any photos? Would love to see it. Probably belongs in a collectors mueseum.
I thought there was someone of the forum asking for recommendations for a painter as they were looking at getting their old honda repainted.
I can't remember if it was a CB92; but it was definately pre-CB77.

Good luck!

Pardon my ignorance, where does he hail from? I have not tried him and every path is worth looking down!
