Description
The Honda CS92 Benly Sports, introduced in 1959, is a rare and sought-after motorcycle. It features a 125cc twin-cylinder engine producing 15bhp, good for a top speed exceeding 75 mph.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the CS92's specifications:
• Engine: 125cc twin-cylinder, 4-stroke OHC
• Power: 15 bhp
• Top Speed: Over 120 km/ h (75 mph)
• Compression Ratio: 8. 3:1
• Carburetor: 18mm
Honda's first 125cc twin-cylinder models - the C90 tourer and CB90 sports - appeared in 1958 and were swiftly superseded by the C92 and CB92 respectively. An early addition to the original line-up was a sports model, the CS90, which featured stylish upswept exhausts fitted with perforated heat shields. Much less well known than the more numerous CB92, the CS92 is one of the most underrated and under valued of Honda's early classics yet arguably is one of the most interesting. Introduced in 1959, the CS92 Benly Sports produced all of 15bhp, the same output as the successor CB92 model, which was good enough for a top speed over 120km/ h (75mph). The CS92 is very much rarer than the CB92, being initially produced for less than two years, and this C3 particular example is remarkably original and almost complete (Missing Tank Badge has been sourced and is on order) The engine turns over without any unpleasant surprises, 1964 CS92 Sport - 124cc 15ps/ 9500rpm 4 speeds Kick and Starter Motor L 1910mm.

The engine turns over smoothly with the kick start lever and has good compression The petrol tank is clean and dry. However the bike will need some recommissioning.
Having spent most of it’s life in a Museum display and in a collectors storage in Japan it was imported with part of a collection into the UK in July 2024. Import documentation has been completed and taxes paid it & is now ready to be registered with the DVLA should that be required.
The engine is free and easily tuns over. The speedometer displays what appears to be the correct reading at 13375 kilometres. But due to the amount of time it has been on display and in a private collection it will require some recommissioning.
Currently in Cambridgeshire where viewing and inspection is welcomed and indeed recommended, although by appointment only. Representing a fantastic opportunity for any collection or individual at an affordable investment price. These days, these Honda models are considered collectibles, and rarely come onto the market, especially in the UK.
