In the Honda brochure it's claimed to be chromoly but who knows, seems more like mild steel.

The grinder sparks I got suggested mild steel to me and the  metal fabrication engineer beside me;) Cro/Mo frames advertising? one of the biggest rip-off, lie, swindle, loads of bullshit that went around, rates higher than smooth power over a wide range of revs on your early 100/125 MX.
