Honda H100S Super

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Introduced in 1986, the Honda H100S Super was a two stroke motorcycle designed to compete with similar two stroke 100 cc motorcycles. Honda was losing ground in the 100 cc class bikes as their 4 stroke bikes like the S 110 and later the CG 125 proved to be too slow compared to other Japanese bike manufacturers models (especially those from [[Kawasaki) with their quicker and sleeker 2 stroke bikes.

This bike was an upgrade from the Honda MB 100. It had good styling and could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 12 s 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 pistons were the first to go and gave in very quickly. Production was discontinued 2 years later as stricter emission levels made 2 stroke bikes redundant.
