    Any idea what year this US90 is?

    I know I could be called a non-believer for saying this, but the early ATCs just aren't my thing. Anyways, I at least know enough to stop by and have a look when I see one. That said, I found this languishing in the weeds while in a private junkyard about a year ago. I'd be willing to bet it's still there. I doubt the owner will sell it while I'm here in Korea as he's fairly secretive. So, other than the obvious, what exactly is it?

    The poor thing looks like a little dinosaur stuck in a tar pit. Best pull it out now, or in a few years someone will trip over the handlebars.

    If the seat and tank looks as good on the other side as the pic shows, you could make some coin parting it out if you could get it for less than $150. The front fender appears to be in better shape than most of that year too.

    Thanks for the replies (and support ), y'all. I'm fairly certain it's not going anywhere as it's in a private yard. I didn't spend too much time looking at it because it was very cold and the wind was howling that day. I agree in that it does look very solid. I didn't see any significant rust anywhere, which is always good. I just wonder what the inside of the tank looks like. I plan on seeing if I can scoop it up when I get back. Where I go from there, who knows?

    The last US90 I bought surprised me, looked like hell on the outside but no rust in the tank. Maybe you will get lucky!

    What a shame that it just got dumped in the elements of weather.

    How many are left out there just to rot; Shame.

    That's a shame! And it's missing the pull start from what I can see, otherwise it looks solid. How long until you get back!? Have someone go get it out of the weather
