I have the blue and white tank on my CB 100 and since it’s been so long ago I don’t know if it was a 1971 or 72 model but the first year I owned it I put on 8000 miles sold next spring and bought a Honda 350 because I was finally 18 which in the state of Illinois you can’t have nothing bigger and 150 cc until you’re 18 years old.
I love the blue and white color on these as well, super cool! Putting 8,000 miles on one of them in a year, especially a CB100, is alot of riding! Did you get a 350 Twin or 350F?
I have a 1970 CL 100, just purchased it. It seems more powerful than my Honda Monkey 125, definitely a different sound through the exhaust. What are your thoughts, did you sell your CB yet ? I have the Aquarius b!ue color and my Monkey is red
I honestly would say they're around the same power and speed. I have a 2021 Honda Trail 125 and they're comparable on terms of speed and power I think. Which is honestly pretty sad, because you'd think the newer bike would be faster after 50 years of development right? I love the blue color as well, nice! I sold the CB100 recently on Bring a Trailer and the buyer got a really good deal on it in my opinion.
Thanks! I actually sold it a bit ago actually, but it was a fun ride. Your assessment is correct - for awhile I had a CB100 with a 125 engine swapped into it and I got similar speeds as you just posted. At 55 mph you need a good tail wind, and that engine is pegged out.
Yeah, they're SO tiny. Small bikes in that respect and handy to keep around the garage. I love CT90's, CT110's (and the new 125 is ok) for this reason.
Not sure, it's been a bit. There aren't too many in the stock sizes around, but I want to say that IRC still makes ones in the correct sizes and tread patterns.
Thanks for sharing. Beautiful little bike. Thanks again.
Sure thing, thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!
Great little machine! Appreciate the upload.
@smallbikestuff - thanks! It's a unique little machine for sure, truly a 'mini motorcycle'. This one is a pretty one :)

@@retro_grade I believe it was the 350 twin. All I can remember it was the street version

I bought a 1975 CB 125S and at 50 mph it was showing 7500 rpm. The RED Line is 9500 so I (might) have safely 55mph. Your bike is/was sweet.

I bought my Cb 125 S because it weighs 213 pounds with a full tank of gas. Makes it VERY easy to move around.

@@retro_grade ok thanks
Have you sold it yet ?
Yeah, I sold it on Bring a Trailer a little bit ago. The buyer got a pretty good deal too (in my opinion).
Hello,
How much do you want to sell it for?
It actually just sold on Bring a Trailer (where I opt to sell most of my stuff when I decide to get rid of it). It ended up going for $2,850.
@@retro_grade thanks for the reply back
