Looking forward to picking it up!

$811.01 lol that's a lot of money, and this makes my 3rd Honda motorcycle to sit in my garage.

Looks to be a good buy. I've wanted one of these little ripper's for a while.
my financial situation says otherwise though. Have fun with it.
That's what I'd like to hear.

I'm deciding on whether or not to keep it factory. 

The things I would change are: Seat, handlebars, rear fender, color (all black).  The only aftermarket part on eBay is a cafe seat, but I'd love to find/make a scrambler high-pipe.

Thoughts?

I love the little 100cc racer type bikes. Especially because you could really push the machine on the road without gettin yourself into to much trouble. ;D ;D

What do you guys know about these? I just got one that's been half taken apart and sat for decades.  I can't seem to find neutral, and the ignition cover doesn't fit. Are there two parts to the points cover?
No matter how fast or how far I rode, I couldn't leave her memory behind.

also have a cl125 stock bike.
bought it with 1500 miles.  its near mint.  now she has about 4000 miles.

you can use cb750 parts to make a big bore kit
powroll.com has tons of hop up parts
oldrice.com is a good place for info on the motors.

I saw one of those at bike show a while back.. Thing was TINY. I felt like i could strap it to the rack on the 350 and take it home with me!

Still, pretty cool bike.

Great little bike.  Almost indestructible.  The bike I learned to ride on.  My buddy James and I would ride two up on one to our after-school jobs.  If you search a bit, you'll find all sorts of cool stuff people have done on them.

My buddy at work just bought one too, I think he paid $1200. It's in great original shape and looks good with the blue paint.

I bought a cb100 today. It looked like a big pile of crap when I went to pick it up, but for $50.00 I couldn't pass it up. It took me 5 minutes after getting it home to start ripping it apart.
Is there a way to get forks off if they are frozen to the lower triple tree?

I tried This post pictures but they are too big
