2008 Honda XL100 review from New Zealand
"Yep, it's strong"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Clutch cable is broken.
Front brake lever is broken.
General comments?
This bike is legendary, I've pushed it right to its natural rev limiter (where the valves can't close fast enough for the piston, so the gases just come in the cylinder and then get pushed back out again). It's had an honest thrashing, but it starts first kick with a little bit of gas.
The only thing the I don't like about it is that it's not the fastest bike in the world, quite slow actually, but what can you expect from 100cc eh?
