PRISTINE 1973 HONDA CL100 With 1126 Miles!

[@jamesharmon5963]

The S was not for sport model. It was for a slide in the carburetor to limit the horsepower. Back in the day you could get a motorcycle license at 15 but they would limit it to 5 horsepower. So they put a slide in the carburetor to limit it. They did the same thing to the CL100.

[@alexnelson8]

This is 100% true. The S stood for slide, while all CL’s were Scramblers. The only parts that were listed deferent between the CL100 and the CL100S were the throttle valve, emblems, and the sticker on the rear arm. I found my 72’ CL100K2 in a barn with 1800 mi and restored it almost to this level. I didn’t polish the covers, but did everything else. Mine cruises easily at 35mph and can exceed 50mph in the right conditions. I weigh 165lb and it is 100% original. In case you want to check if this is still governed.

I had a nice one back in 1980. It was a gold 1972 CL100S. Also had an 81 RM125X Suzuki. Great times for a 15 year old! Nice one you have there, Ken!

Very cool. When I was 15 my father bought me a brand new 1976 Honda TL-125. Great trials bike, my 2 friends had 1975 models. I remember what my father paid for the TL at the Dealer, it was 750.00

My first motorcycle as a 14 year old, removed everything that wasn't necessary and used it as a trail/enduro bike.
