i have a original honda parts list book stating the new and old part number
but i cant find this frame number in it anywere

"C92-" denotes a CA92 model and the "60" simply means 1960. Oddly, what your describing sounds more like a CB92, which should have a frame number begining with "CB". The last year stated for the CA92 is 1959. They are both "Benly's" and they overlapped in production dates, so perhaps some of the early CB92s were stamped with a C92. Still, 1960 is the 2nd production year, allthough I don't know how many were produced in 1959. The early models are described as having Alloy tank, fenders and side covers. Is the fender on your's steel or alloy?

Well no wonder, then. If your down there, you must be lookin' at it upside down!

Seriously though, a picture of the frame is worth a thousand variably experienced words here.

Looks pretty much exactly like a Benly Super Sport to me. The only thing odd is the footpegs are in the pillion position resembling a Benly Touring swingarm. The Super Sport didn't have that mount position present on the swingarm.
