Thank you for this video on the ME 100. It was my first bike in 1976, I got emotional just hearing it,While all the other kids at the time were on XRs and Yzs and RMs my Dad got me this and i will always love him for it.

[@stevej6159]

My Father brought me a 76 Me100 when I was 10 to learn to ride .All the lights had been removed before I got the bike.Had so much fun on it in the dirt .-I still have the ownership papers all these years later.Nice to see this one in such mint condition-Steve NZ

[@kevinsivertson5800]

[@truvintage5800]

@@MitzvosGolem1 I have a 74 Super Rat mx100 my grandpa bought for my uncle. It's looks brand new!

Takes me back to the late 60's when my Dad was trying to talk my Mom into a Motorcyle for him with the " it get's great gas mileage " angle ( she didn't go for it ) . It was a Suzuki dealership cause I remember they had a Suzuki Grasshopper there and I was mad because at the time I wanted a Honda Mini Trail SO BAD ( whick was a no go also ) . But we gave it our best shot , instead we got a new little sister ( I had no idea why that was good ) . Anyway I remember there was a small bike made by Triumph and I wanted it really bad ! About 9 years later I worked two paper routes ( morning and evening ) for 3 years and bought my own TC - 185 Suzuki in Louisville Kentucky at Derbytown Suzuki nearly across the road from Churchill Downs . Man I was so proud of that Bike ! I sat on rollaround chair with the radio on ( WLRS 103 The Walrus ) and just stared at it ....WHAT A GREAT DAY ! PK

[@williamheeber3290]

I had a 74 SE74 from Freddie Marsh, paid $425 back then....cant mistake that sound from the pipe, and they always smoked a bit...ahhhhhh memories 💪👍

[@francisbertucci1344]

That brings back childhood memories. 👊

[@geomaz35]

I have a ME100 with 2 miles on it, never sold from the dealership, never titled, seat plastic cover still on it. Kaplan arranged shipping for another of my Indians ME175 with 700miles. Great guys there!

[@sissygoog9456]

Sir, that Indian is 💎❤ My most favorite Indian from the Kaplan team in Kaplan cycles. Absolutely amazing. Ronnie and Ken number one amazing info of the other Indian inside the museum. 60 to 80 hours The way Kaplan cycles does their work. It's 100% worth it comes out old. Looks brand new😊🇺🇲💯 I love it! How it has the original license plate? Another Indian that you guys just blew my mind beautiful one that came off the trailer

[@mattlogsdon2962]

One of the first bikes that i rode. Great bike!

[@RicardoValdes-r6w]

Thank you Kaplan and thanking all your staff for the most excellent bikes from the amazing collection of vintage bikes that never go or grow old. Please as I requested from you Kaplan if you would consider giving me a Kawasaki KE 250 I truly thank you. U S Army veteran. Rick in Lee county Florida. Thank you for your excellent care and channel.

[@rabbithomesteading3797]

When ever you post any old dirt bike I need to pause for a second and get a towel because I know I am going to drool! It is another WOW machine! 😎

[@KaplanCycles]

Right on!

[@asadhussain1974]

What a beautiful bike it is, thanks Kaplan America for bringing these classic bikes. I really like them and love to see them. Thumbs up for you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Fr331995]

Awesome find!

[@Fr331995]

Cant belive the rear turn signals have never been kicked off!

[@litta57]

I just picked one up, had fun on it and now its available on Craigslist Long Island runs great but is a bit rusty.

[@MustangNthusiest]

Awesome great finds.

[@308guy8]

It's a little Rippa!!!!!!!

[@1sir-onworld]

🐝🏁 Very clean 👌 someone is going to love this motorcycle nice 👍. Beautiful Sweet Indian

[@damienoregan6211]

Look at that cb 750//4 on the side stand in the back ground O BABY.

[@29scroll]

an Indian enduro, I didn't know this version. Very pretty 👍👍

[@JollUsARoint]

No matter how many hours it takes to get one looking as good as this I say is well worth it and you're not charging extra because it's a classic or older bike like a lot of people would that 100 150 an hour they would be up to about $200 an hour maybe more the museum brother Ken Kaplan America is the most honest bike dealer in the world he don't hide nothing he shows you everything if there is anything and if I was y'all this would be the only bike shop I would ever support there's a reason why they're the best why not be a part of it right💚👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌏🇺🇲👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@RightDucman]

Great find Mr Kap 😎

[@KaplanCycles]

Thank you brother

[@cndboy6646]

the best gem of its kind

[@Bitterstone3849]

Is that a Hodaka motor ? 100 Hodaka motors found themselves in more different companys frames than ANY motor on the planet. Had a 71 Super Rat. 👍

[@ronnieroberts9478]

Perfect I love it

[@mtthielsen8342]

I love old Hodaka's.

[@truvintage5800]

Kaplanism: Unatainium!

[@ThirdHandle]

I have this exact bike, but mines a ‘73. It was my grandfathers, and isn’t nearly as nice as this one, but I ride it from time to time just to keep the memory alive.

[@ThirdHandle]

I also have a 1972 JC 54 that I bought for my son….that is a completely different animal than the ME 100

[@miketr732]

Another creampuff. Wow.what a cool bike.

[@untilucantgripit]

Little rich!!!

[@bps7209]

Just think we bypassed these for those quicker and faster Japanese and European bikes. Nice 👍

[@Off-Grid-World]

Never bloomin' seen one sir. Reminds me of my '75 Honda MT250 Elsinore , well, not mine anymore, sold it for way too cheap a out 3 years ago.

[@Off-Grid-World]

It only had 700 odd miles on the clock... Condition was fantastic apart from a big old dent in the tank at one side. There was this fine golden sand dust I found in the nooks n crannies, so she'd been used out in the dunes or desert somewhere in America before she was exported to England.

[@allcapitols1554]

What happened to the famous one-handed mic catch?

[@KaplanCycles]

Modern technology in progress supposedly

[@douglastucker3677]

LOOKS LIKE A HODAKA ENGINE

[@Austinite333]

I am not familiar with this bike but yeah that looks similar to a Hodaka engine.

[@Off-Grid-World]

Some people buy a bike and just barely use it or scare themselves really good one time then put the bugger away in the shed forevermore.

[@chrishunter5041]

Nice😍😍

[@DrBlue-pt1wp]

Hey! you think you could find me a 1981 cbf super sport tank? the color is silver with blue stripes

[@francoismoreira1583]

Hi,👍💪🏻🙏

[@markvisconti4507]

That is too nice for AHRMA, but that is the one that everyone should want for 11.1.5-100cc mx
