- A friend recently acquired this 1966(?) Honda C100. Commonly mistaken as a 100cc bike, this was actually a 50cc engine with a pushrod cam/valve set up unlike the later OHV offerings. 3 gears, no hand clutch and a whole bunch of reliability.

I just pulled a 1965 ct200 out of a fiend's barn. It’d been buried in the dirt 35 years because they lost the key. Cleaned the carb new battery and new ignition from Taiwan and it started right up today.
I had a c100 in the 60s. It was wonderful.
They really are nice simple machines.
That my friend is pure class!
Such a great machine!

This was also my first experience with local wheelie boys in my city. They were rather polite.
Always nice to see old honda cubs ❤
Completely agree. The owner of this bike was in my latest video riding his Honda Grom!
@@SmallBikeStuff Thats great !!! Love your video's 👍
beautiful bike. Thank you for the video.
Thanks so much for watching!
Wooo 🔥. You know I love it!
Thanks for watching brother!
Beginning in neutral, up for first then down for N then down to 2 then 3 is traditional British gear change pattern....lucky folk had a 4th gear, down yet again. Logical really as 1st is the highest ratio of engine speed to wheel/road speed with top gear the lowest ratio. Love your work, keep it up.
Thanks so much for the comment. I was struggling to explain it on the spot. I got used to this gear change pattern a few years ago so it seems so normal.
Here in the states this model had minor changes between 1960 to 1967 the biggest change was the ohv to the ohc design motor.
Sure did! This was the first pushrod cub engine from Honda I’d ridden. Glad I can tick that off the list. Thanks for watching!
Such great bikes, they can go just as fast as any modern 50cc 4-stroke. The MPH speedo is interesting.
That’s exactly it! Supposedly these are actually a little faster than their modern OHV counterparts.
That thing is so cool man I have the 2020 Honda super cub. It’s the C1 25 and it does have a 125 cc engine I would not want something smaller than that on the roads in the United States where I am so no highways for me but I can total around and I can actually get anywhere in the country I on the roads that is but I just won’t get there fast top speed for me is like 50 I’m 6 foot tall 180 pounds and I put a 65 L waterproof lockable box that is not air dynamic but it does make a nice trunk, but I probably could get to work on that 50 cc one but then I’d have to have two of them but I do think that thing is pretty damn cool specially, since it’s an old one now my tires, I think are the same size as far as how big they are around, but my tires are definitely fatter, and I do like the fuel injection disc brake in the front and lock in the front And the LED lights stainless steel exhaust and stainless steel brake lines. There are not a lot of bells and whistles, but I think Honda definitely did not cut corners where it counted. I also like the fuel gauge and they decided to make the new ones in the United States keyless, which I’m not the biggest fan of but that’s the only choice I have.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! The newer C125's are a great bike to ride. Especially when 50cc just isn't enough to be safe in your area.
Lovely classic little bike in original condition. Maybe it deserves a 125cc swap 😈
Haha anything is swappable!
I live in Thailand and considering buying a new Honda C125 which is a 125cc fuel injected retro of it.
It costs US $2,500 in Thailand.
Good idea! I’ve ridden a couple and they are really nice bikes. The monkey is very comfortable too. Also worth trying the CT125 as it has the same engine.
@@SmallBikeStuff I already have a Honda Monkey 125. It is a great small motorbike. I might buy a DAX 125 to see if it is fun.
I just bought an XRM 125 with dual discs here in the Philippines and it was $1,400 USD. I now have 3,000 km and it is a great bike, love it. 65 km/litre and I ride it hard, amazing.
Top Speed of the pushrod C100 is 43 MPH.
Such a great top speed for 50cc! (well slightly less than...)
Why brand are the original tires?? Anyone know ??
Not sure sorry!
Yokohama
CB100 or 125 pls :)
I'll keep an eye out!
