Do You Moto 100?

[DR]

Ironically the world 100cc championship was run last weekend in the US. Scott McKenzie won the whole thing ( evo class against the RMs/YZ's) on a modified TM100 while his mate won the pre 1975 class also on a TM100. Here's a little footage

Hi, I was wondering if the SL 100 came out in 1969? does anyone know, and did the 70 to 74 models differ much from the 69 model apart from the one piece head. thanks 

[Tim754]

SFA differences and late 69 till 74  actually all the one piece head models are basically identical bar graphics.

hey Tim, in saying a release date of late '69 for the SL100k0 still wouldn't make the bike eligible for pre'70 would it..or would it Curious as always

[DR]

Oldfart, I wasn't really watching his finger too much but moreso listening to his holding of gears and the little over revving that came with it. What amazed me was the way the little TM125 took the holeshot and cleared off, had the straight been longer the gap would have been bigger as it was walking away from the evo RM's and YZ's no questions asked

[Tim754]

Released in 69 as a 'designated 1970' model OK

That was cool Doc....i like it at about 2:17 he hit the ground and goes....ooh!...i think he used all the travel on that bike.

[DR]

uh huh..thanks Tim..that's what I'd fugured

yeah Mario, I noticed that 1st time also, unfortunately most camera's doesn't really show the true extent of  how rough and steep tracks are/can be or how big the jumps or ruts are but yup, that was a bloody hard landing from the sound of it even more remarkable for the winning TM100 as it cleaned up with half the suspension travel of the later models. The thing I love about my TM is the way it corners, the pre'75's are miles ahead of any evo or pre'78 in that regard

Hey tim 754 you seem to know a bit  about these little honda's , I was going to do up a sl100 for pre 70 but it sounds like it wouldn't be allowed or is it? thanks

[Tim754]

No the designation as a 1970 model tramples the little buggers for pre70 even if your id plate says manufactured in 69 . Do your SL up for pre75 (suggest the SL125) and have a ball of fun.
 My family used to ride a Hodaka Ace100 MX in pre70, it was proven to be a very rare 1969 model that was not officially called the Super Rat even though that was on the air filter cover. Its engine /frame number was 000004.

Do You Moto 100 at CD7 ? Anyone taken theirs

I'd love to take my little Honco 90 but as I've only got a 3 bike trailer something more serious would have to stay home. It's a shame but a reality shared by many.
