Performance

The 99 cc (6.0 cu in) engine produced 11.5 HP according to Honda.[citation needed] This was sufficient to propel the bike with a small rider to about 55 mph (89 km/h).[citation needed] 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.
