[edit] Performance
The 99 cc engine produced 11.5 HP according to Honda. This was sufficient to propel the bike with a small rider to about 55 mph. The CL100 was also available in a model designated CL100S (1971-1973), which had a governor to reduce power to 5 HP to meet some state restrictions for younger operators. In this mode, top speed was about 50 mph.
