My second bike was a Honda CL-90 usually referred to as a Scrambler 90. When I got it I was wanting a CB 160 but my dad didn't think I was ready for that. Going from a moped to a scrambler 90 was like going from a VW to a Corvette. Next step up was to a Honda 305 Scrambler. Going from a 90 to that 305 was like going from a Corvette to a Formula One car. I owned over a dozen bikes when I was young. After I got a little older and smarter I got dirt bikes thinking that would be safer. Not sure that was true because I loved riding dirt bikes on the back wheel. My friends called me the "Wheelie King" and let me tell you, I earned that reputation the hard way. I've flipped over backwards several times. The worst being on the pavement when I shifted into 3rd gear. The pavement ground the skin off most of my finger tips, my shoulders, and my knees. It also ground a face shield snap completely off my helmet. If it weren't for me wearing my helmet I would probably be dead. Not long after that I gave up riding motorcycles altogether and never looked back. CL-90

I won't go into what, when and where, but I still do have an actual Puch moped that looks pretty similar to the Sears model, except it is black and doesn't have the fuel tank appendage, just the large lower frame member that is the actual fuel tank. Mine isn't the two speed model? I have the saddle like that but changed it to the longer style to get a more comfortable angle on the pedals. The pedal location feels like they are behind you with the standard seat. Now that I think about it, mine has a very long muffler with removable baffle on the left side. I guess it isn't so alike, rated at from 1hp-2hp depending on carburetor and called the MAXI, a real contradiction in terms.
