Introduced in the spring of 1962 the CR93 was offered in two guises, the familiar racing version and a fully equipped road going variant. In road going form the machine produced 16.5bhp at 11,500 rpm, however, in racing form the machine produced 20 bhp at 11,500 rpm and was safe to 13,000 rpm thanks in part to the four-valve per cylinder technology that it inherited from the works machines.
Costing £609 the machine was equipped with a five speed gearbox and wet sump lubrication. The twin cylinder engine featured a 360 degree crankshaft with the drive being taken to the gearbox by a geared primary drive. It rapidly established itself as the machine to have in the 125cc short circuit class, dominating it until 1970 and the appearance of the YAS1.
This example was built over a period of twelve years from a mixture of new, old stock parts and used components. The genuine, old stock parts used include the frame and swinging arm, wheels, handlebars, tachometer and drive, cables, front mudguard, crankcase covers, clutch and primary drive, vertical camshaft drive gears, number plate brackets, gear change, fairing side panels, top yoke and camshaft end covers. The front brake plate is an aluminium example and the forks on the motorcycle are roadster based , although a replacement set of CR93 fork legs are included with the machine. Replica parts used in the build include the fuel tank, seat, rear mudguard and engine breather tunnel. An original exhaust system is fitted. Described as being in very good cosmetically and ok mechanically it should be noted that the machine has not been run since completion.
