A survivor: 1966 Honda C100 Supercub | RTW  

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.

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.

Top Speed of the pushrod C100 is 43 MPH.

Here in the states this model had minor changes between 1960 to 1967 the biggest change was the ohv to the ohc design motor.

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.

I had a c100 in the 60s. It was wonderful.

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.

This was also my first experience with local wheelie boys in my city. They were rather polite.

That my friend is pure class!

Always nice to see old honda cubs ❤

Wooo 🔥. You know I love it!

I live in Thailand and considering buying a new Honda C125 which is a 125cc fuel injected retro of it.

Such great bikes, they can go just as fast as any modern 50cc 4-stroke. The MPH speedo is interesting.

Lovely classic little bike in original condition. Maybe it deserves a 125cc swap 😈

Why brand are the original tires?? Anyone know ??
