1974

The 1974 Honda CT90 'K5, continued the use of model designations that started with the letter 'K", followed by a number. There were no mid year changes in 1974. This was another year that there was only one color of the CT, it was once again, Mars Orange. This is the first year that Honda made turn signals on all mototcycles imported into the United States (see 1971 'K3). The indicator light for the turn signals in the speedometer changed the labeling to being "T" for turn singnals (instead of "W" for winkers). In the early part of the year the left handlebar lever that activated the rear brake was there and later in the year it disappeared.
