Honda H100S Super
Encyclopedia
The Honda H100S Super was a two-stroke motorcycle
introduced in 1986 and designed to compete with similar two-stroke 100 cc motorcycles. Honda was losing ground in the 100 cc class, as their four-stroke models like the S 110 and later the CG 125 proved to be too slow compared to those of other Japanese manufacturers (especially Kawasaki
) with their quicker and sleeker two-stroke motorcycles.
This was an upgrade from the Honda MB 100. It had good styling and could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 12 seconds, which was fast for a 100 cc bike at that time. Due to its small ends, the connecting rod had problems; the motor also didn't last long. The piston
s were the first to go and gave in very quickly. Production was discontinued 2 years later as stricter emission levels
made two-stroke motorcycles redundant.
Engine: two-stroke, air-cooled, single-cylinder
Fuel system: Carburetor
Top speed: 120 km/h (75 mph)
