Honda CB 100 Tahun 1973 - Retro Classic (Solo)
Motor klasik atau juga bisa disebut Vintage and Classic Motorcyles sekarang ini tengah naik daun. Di samping harganya yang murah juga enak buat di modifikasi karena bisa di bajak dengan komponen mesin generasi HONDA semisal GL 100, GL PRO, TIGER juga bisa mencaplok komponen motor lain semisan SHOCK Depan RX-KING dll.
Dipenghujung tahun 1999 an motor ini cuma di hargai sekitar 500 Ribuan , lalu naik menjadi 800 ribuan , 4 tahun yang lalu masih sekitar 1 jutaan dan ditahun ini harganya melejit lagi sekitar 2,5 juta itpun kondisi 70% orisinil, kalau yang masih orisinil bisa sampai 4 jutaan. Fantastik.... itu semua berkat ulah para modifikator yang menjadikan motor CB ini sebagai BASIS MOTOR MODIFIKASI.
Sebelum mempuyai motor Honda CB 100 Tahun 1973 saya pernah melihara Vespa Super tahun buat 1979 waktu itu saya beli dengan harga Rp.2.100.000 setelah ada kenaikan BBM beberapa kali akhirnya saya jual keteman dengan harga Rp.750.000 waaaaaaa..... sebenarnya masih sayang dengan vespa itu, tapi melihara Vespa butuh dana yang lumayan extra, yap extra karena kantong tipis. Tapi tidak apa-apa karena larinya keteman sendiri sesekali masih bisa lihat bentuknya :))
Kembali lagi tentang Honda CB 100 sekarang ini untuk membeli yang sudah Udzur atau batangan di Kota Solo dan sekitarnya susah, mencari motor tua memang seperti mencari jodoh, susah-susah gampang. Apalagi untuk mencari yang 100% Orisinil hmmm susah sekali.

Boyolali Scooter Club (Vespa Boyolali Indonesia)
Lahirnya Vespa Sprint dalam medio dekade 1960?an sebagai salah satu varian scooter produksi Piaggio, terbilang cukup mencuri perhatian para scooterist di seluruh dunia. Dengan penampilan awal yang hampir menyerupai Vespa Grand Lux, Vespa 150 Sprint hadir seakan ingin melanjutkan semangat kebebasan generasi 1960?an kepada genarasi 1970?an dalam hal berkendaraan scooter tanpa harus kehilangan sentuhan stylish namun tangguh.
Hampir setiap sudut penampilan Vespa 150 Sprint diperbesar dari vespa umumnya keluaran dekade 1960?an (VNA/VNB/VBB/VBC). Memiliki ukuran ban lebih lebar (3.50X10?), box dikedua bagian kiri kanannya serta spakbor yang lebih besar dibandingkan vespa kelas super menjadikan scooter ini tampil lebih unggul dan gagah dibandingkan dengan sekelasnya (150cc).
Hal tersebut dapat dimaklumi mengingat Vespa 150 Sprint seakan ingin menghidupkan kembali nuansa Vespa GL dalam bentuk lain di era 1970?an namun dengan harga yang terjangkau. Bahkan beberapa pendapat mengatakan bahwa vespa serie ini merupakan spec-drop dari Vespa GL.

Didukung oleh strategi pemasaran khas vespa, sepertinya Piaggio cukup berhasil dalam penjualan produksi vespa serie sprint, hal ini mengingat dalam variant tersebut sempat dikeluarkan dua jenis dimana keduanya memiliki perbedaan-perbedaan yang nyata dari segi penampilan maupun ketangguhan mesinnya.
Bedah Modifikasi Honda CB 100 1976
Apa saja teknologinya, mari lihat.
BLOK DAN KEPALA SILINDER F-150
Menggapai teknologi modern, Royo menggabungkan mesin Honda CB 100 dengan milik Suzuki Satria F-150. “Karter milik CB 100 sedang kepala dan blok silinder punya Satria F-150 yang sudah DOHC,” jelas brother beken disapa Royo ini.
Tentunya perlu dudukan atau adaptor khusus untuk menggabungkan karter dan blok silinder. Royo bikin dari bahan duralium 5 mm. Disambung menggunakan las argon untuk bagian dalam. Sedang bagian luar perlu lebih rapi, makanya pakai las babet.
Posisi baut blok juga digeser. Disesuaikan lubang baut di blok F-150. Juga perlu bikin dudukan tensioner yang panjang dan pendek. Menggunakan miling agar pas pasang di karter.
Piston pakai diameter 68 mm. Diambil dari Honda XR400 yang punya pin piston 15 mm. Pas dipasangkan sama setang piston GL-Pro Neo Tech yang sudah dipasang berikut kruk as-nya.
Piston besar memaksa ganti boring lebih besar. Juga stroke atau langkah piston dibikin jadi 62,2 mm. Ini didapat dari menggeser posisi pin kruk as Neo Tech sekitar 6,5 mm. Total langkah bertambah 13 mm.
Kalau dihitung menggunakan rumus volume silinder pasti didapat 225,7 cc. Itu didapat dari diameter silinder yang sudah 68 mm dan stroke 62,2 mm.
Tapi, lantaran stroke bertambah bukan saja pasang adaptor blok silinder dari duralium 5 mm. Tapi, rantai keteng Satria FU perlu ditambah. Disambung lagi 4 mata. Tentu gigi keteng di kruk as juga dibikin seperti punya Satria 4-tak itu.
RASIO TIGER
Setelah kapasitas dapur pacu meningkat, sektor pemindah daya dibenahi. Biar imbang gitu. Seperti rasio satu set pakai Honda Tiger. Otomatis mesin tidak teriak kencang lantaran sudah 6 tingkat kecepatan.
Begitu juga rumah kopling. Cangkok dari Tiger. “Namun kampas kopling dipasang enam lapis. Aplikasi dari Honda Grand,” jelas Royo yang bisa ditanya lebih lanjut lewat telepon rumah di nomor (022) 6673653.
PENGAPIAN GRAND
Pengapian masih cangkok dari punya Grand. Seperti satu set magnet, sepul, pulser dan CDI. Tentu dalam pemasangan kudu dibuatkan dudukan baru. Paling penting lagi letak pulser yang dipasang di kruk as. Tidak ditempatkan di tutup magnet, kenapa ya?
Rencana ke depan mau ganti pulser. Menurut Bro yang dulu sempat beken bikin 2 busi ini. Katanya yang bagus cangkok dari punya Binter Joy. Makanya mesin mau dibelah ulang. Minimal sebelah kiri kudu dibongkar.
BY PASS JALUR OLI
Sistem pelumasan menuju kepala silinder kudu lancar agar mampu melumasi mekanisme klep. Kalau mempertahankan jalur lama, dipastikan lumayan ribet. Itu karena lubang baut silinder di karter dan blok sudah bergeser. Apalagi sudah tertutup adaptor blok dan kena las babet.
Untuk itu kudu dibuatkan jalur baru. Dari tutup bak kopling kanan dilubangi sebagai dudukan nipel slang. Dari nipel disambung ke pipa karet dan pipa besi menuju kepala silinder. Dari sana baru disemburkan menuju mekanisme klep.
Aliran pelumas di kepala silinder dilanjut menuju karter kembali. Lewat lubang baut blok kiri depan. Setelahnyampe atas karter dibuatkan dua lubang yang disemprotkan menuju rantai keteng dan setang piston bawah. Baru deh setelah itu oli ngumpul di bak.
PISTON KEMBALI DIGANTI
Edwin dapat barang unik, yakni piston Honda CBR150. Menurut Royo, diameter 67 mm dan pin 15 mm. Otomatis harus bore down lantaran piston makin imut dan boring diganti lebih kecil.
Kini kapasitas silinder malah turun. Asalnya 225,7 cc jadi 219 cc. Turun sekitar 7 cc. Tapinggak masalah lantaran dirasa aman karena kompresi tidak terlalu besar.
DATA MODIFIKASI
Paking bawah blok bawah Satria F-150
Tensioner Satria F-150
Kem Papas bawah 1,5 mm
Klep Satria F-150
Karburator TZM30
Spuyer Main-jet 160/pilot 35
Edwin Lumanau, modifikator Linx Motorcycle Perfomance Shop di Jl. Sumatra, No. 10, Bandung selalu punya terobosan. Honda CB100 tua yang aslinya hanya 2 klep dibikin jadi 4 klep. Menggunakan sistem DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft) yang didukung dua kem.
Hebatnya lagi kapasitas mesin melonjak tinggi. Asalnya cuma 97 cc kini jadi 225,7 cc. Kalau dibulatkan jadi 226 cc dong. Hebat! Ini katanya hasil kerja sama dengan Suroyo, pebengkel di Jl. Ibu Sangki, No. 64, Cibeber, Cimahi, Jawa Barat.

1968 BSA Bobber - Modifivations Chopper
Ahh, yes, the old barn story. You know, the one where a bike builder finds a basket case in a barn in the middle of nowhere and wrenches the life back into it. It's nearly a classic tale in the motorcycle industry. At the very least, it's a popular standby for builders trying to conjure up a story behind their build. This '68 BSA was rescued as a rolling chassis from a barn in Akron, Ohio, by owner Gail Williams. Before he salvaged the remains, Gail thought about what he was up against.
Gail grew up around British motorcycles, so they weren't foreign to him (pun intended). He was buddies with three brothers who peddled Brit bikes and parts, and he spent hours on end with them working on the bikes. "I always said one day I would buy one and fabricate a bobber," Gail recalled. That fateful day came in 2003, when one of the brothers parted with a beloved '64 BSA chassis with a '71 motor in the corner of their barn. "Actually, I proudly hauled it back to my barn," Gail said, "and the transition began."

1974 Honda Benly 125 T
The Honda story is the story of one man, Soichiro Honda, and his unparalleled achievement of bringing motor cycles to the masses. Soichiro Honda was a racer, a businessman, and a manufacturer. But most of all he was a dreamer. He dreamed of a better way of making piston rings, founded a small company, and began production. He dreamed of giving people everywhere an economical form of transportation, and began producing small motorcycles, including one built in 1949 called the D-Type Dream.
He also loved racing too. So his company built bigger and faster machines, two, four, five and six-cylinder race bikes and won the Isle of Man.
Honda Motor Company is by far the world's biggest motorcycle maker. Honda's first motorcycle was born out of necessity in immediate post World War II Japan, where public transportation was desperately overcrowded and gasoline severely restricted.
Looking for a solution to his, and thousands of others', personal transport problems, Honda came across a job lot of 500 war surplus two-stroke motors designed to power electric generators; nobody else wanted them so Honda picked them up cheap.
His aim was to adapt them for attachment to push-bikes and, by October 1946, his small factory in Hamamatsu was making complete, makeshift motor bikes using proprietary cycle frames. Because gasoline was in short supply, Honda adapted his motors to run on turpentine, a fuel that he himself distilled from pine trees and sold throughout Japan. Turpentine (or gas thinned out with turpentine) was not the best thing for powering motorbikes, and required a lot of strenuous pedaling to warm the engine up enough before you could get going.
Honda's first bikes were very successful and supplies of the surplus engines ran out after a few months. Business was good by then, so he decided to manufacture his own motors. Using the surplus motor as a model, Honda designed and built his own 50cc engine.
In November 1947, the 1/2 horsepower A-Type Honda was being manufactured and sold as a complete motorbike. Because the motorbike gave off a lot of smoke and a stench of turpentine it was known as the "Chimney".
Soichiro Honda started Honda Motor Company in 1948, at the age of 41. Soon after he hooked up with financial whiz Takeo Fujisawa and together they built an empire.
1948 saw Honda introduce a 90cc version of the A-Type known as the "B-Type".
By 1949 Honda came out with the "D-Type". Mr. Honda was involved in every step of the two-stroke D-Type Dream's design and manufacture. This was Honda's first motorcycle. This was far from simply slotting a motor into a pushbike frame. Honda called his machine 'The Dream', because his dream of building a complete, motorcycle had come true. Soichiro Honda was an engineer and was always looking to produce better and more sophisticated machines.
It turned out to be the 146cc, OHV, four-stroke E-Type Dream. A powerful machine producing 5 1/2bhp capable of 50mph. It had a steel frame and proper suspension front and rear. By October 1951 the new Dream was in production at the rate of 130 units per day.
In 1952 Honda produced the first "Cub" F-Type, a 1/2 horsepower, 50cc, two-stroke engine that was produced in huge numbers. You could get one to fit to your pushbike or buy the complete red and white Honda "Auto Bai". Less than a year after its Introduction, production was 6500 units per month, at that time it was 70% of Japan's powered two-wheeler market.
In 1953 Honda produced the 90cc, four-stroke single, a motorcycle of even greater sophistication. This was known as the Benly, in Japanese this means "convenience". The J-Type Benly had a three-speed gearbox, produced 3.8bhp, a pressed steel Frame, rear suspension with the engine and swinging arm on a sprung pivot, and telescopic front suspension. Before long they were selling at a rate of 1000 units a month.
In 1954 a 200cc scooter, the Juno, was introduced to capture some of the sales from the Vespa scooter copies that were being built in Japan. Honda produced different versions of the Dream and Benly motorcycles over the next few years incorporating different size engines (up to 350cc) and other refinements.
In September 1957 Honda introduced their first twin-cylinder motorcycle, the sophisticated 250cc OHC four-stroke C70 Dream. It was the forerunner of Honda's high-performance 125 and 250cc twins.
In early 1958 Honda fitted an electric starter to the 250cc Dream and named it the C71 and, in 1959, the latest Benly an incredibly sophisticated 125cc OHC four-stroke twin, capable of 70mph was introduced as the C92.
In July 1958 Honda introduced in Japan what became the world's most successful motor cycle, the C100 Super Cub.
The Super Cub was developed over three years to be a cheap and practical motorcycle that literally anyone could use. It used a 50cc four-stroke OHV motor and centrifugal clutch with three-speed transmission. It was so easy to operate that even new riders could ride it as easily as a pushbike. Its innovative frame without a crossbar made it popular with the ladies and set a new trend in commuter motorcycling. The word "scooterette" was coined to describe this step-through style motorbike which sold in 50, 70 and 90cc versions.
In 1959 it was the first Honda motorcycle sold in the U.S., eventually becoming the world's best-selling vehicle (30 million to date). As proof the original concept and design was perfect is the fact that today's C50, C70 and C90s have only detail changes to set them apart from the machines of 25 years ago.
That same year, 1959, Honda introduced the 250cc C72 Dream in Amsterdam. This was the first Japanese bike to be officially shown in Europe. It surprised the crowd with its unusual pressed steel frame, swing arm and front leading link forks, sophisticated OHC all aluminum engine, electric starter and indicators.
In the UK learners had just been restricted to motorcycles of this size and wanted the fastest bikes they could legally ride. The Honda's were the fastest 250s around, and the C72 with its improvements like 12-volt electric's and wet sump lubrication, successor of the C71, was capable of 80mph and could still get 66 miles per gallon.
The CB92 retained the pressed-steel frame and leading link forks while the CB72 received a tubular style frame and telescopic front suspension.
In 1961 two years after Honda started selling Super Cubs, Honda stunned the racing world with "Mike the Bike" Hailwood's twin victories at the Isle of Man. It was the first of an unprecedented string of victories that was only the beginning of Honda's racing tradition.
From the beginning, Mr. Honda dedicated his company to racing, racking up over 100 major motorcycle championships around the world. What was learned from building high-performance racing machines later led to the development of groundbreaking production motorcycles.
The classic CB72 and CB77 helped fuel interest in riding, got America on two wheels, and established Honda as a serious player. The Hawk name has appeared on Honda models CB72, CB77, CB400T, NT650, VTR1000F ever since, the latest being the 1998 VTR1000F.
In 1962 this breakthrough advertising "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" shattered the myth that motorcycles were only for tough guys and rebels. It reached out and made Honda and motorcycling in general, appealing to everyone.
The C77 a 305cc version of the Dream and the CB77, a Super Sports motorcycle producing 28.5bhp were introduced in 1963.
In 1964 the C95 a 154cc version of the Benly and a 161cc version Of the CB160 was also offered.
The Hondells recorded "Little Honda" in 1964. Honda entered the American pop culture as the subject of this hit song.
In 1965 Honda, always eager for a new market, jumped into the big leagues with their first big, fast production motorcycle, the innovative 43bhp CB450 twin. This was a double overhead-camshaft machine with torsion bar valve springs that would do a genuine 104mph, a machine to challenge the 500cc-plus bikes.
Despite its performance, sales of the CB450 worldwide were Poor. A number of engineering changes were made, in 1967 a five-speed gearbox was added.
In 1967 Honda had their first big off-road win in the "first" Baja 1000.
In 1968 Honda stopped production of the CB72 and CB77 and produced a new line of high performance SOHC twins with five-speed gearboxes, called the CB250 and CB350, with the CB350 able to hit 106mph.
At the Tokyo Show of 1968 Honda, after months of tantalizing rumor, unveiled a landmark achievement that would change the motorcycling world forever. A 750cc bike with four cylinders and a disc brake that was so fast and powerful a new word, "superbike", was coined to describe it. The CB750F four was the biggest bike out of Japan, proving that a high-performance motorcycle could also be very reliable.
In April 1969 Honda set the motorcycle world on fire with the introduction of the CB750. Performance was staggering, easily hitting 120mph and at the time it had better acceleration than anything else on the road.
In 1969 the first Honda automobile sold in the U.S., leading Honda to become a preeminent automotive power.
He also loved racing too. So his company built bigger and faster machines, two, four, five and six-cylinder race bikes and won the Isle of Man.

In 1959 it was the first Honda motorcycle sold in the U.S., eventually becoming the world's best-selling vehicle (30 million to date). As proof the original concept and design was perfect is the fact that today's C50, C70 and C90s have only detail changes to set them apart from the machines of 25 years ago.
That same year, 1959, Honda introduced the 250cc C72 Dream in Amsterdam. This was the first Japanese bike to be officially shown in Europe. It surprised the crowd with its unusual pressed steel frame, swing arm and front leading link forks, sophisticated OHC all aluminum engine, electric starter and indicators.
In the UK learners had just been restricted to motorcycles of this size and wanted the fastest bikes they could legally ride. The Honda's were the fastest 250s around, and the C72 with its improvements like 12-volt electric's and wet sump lubrication, successor of the C71, was capable of 80mph and could still get 66 miles per gallon.
The CB92 retained the pressed-steel frame and leading link forks while the CB72 received a tubular style frame and telescopic front suspension.
In 1961 two years after Honda started selling Super Cubs, Honda stunned the racing world with "Mike the Bike" Hailwood's twin victories at the Isle of Man. It was the first of an unprecedented string of victories that was only the beginning of Honda's racing tradition.
From the beginning, Mr. Honda dedicated his company to racing, racking up over 100 major motorcycle championships around the world. What was learned from building high-performance racing machines later led to the development of groundbreaking production motorcycles.
The classic CB72 and CB77 helped fuel interest in riding, got America on two wheels, and established Honda as a serious player. The Hawk name has appeared on Honda models CB72, CB77, CB400T, NT650, VTR1000F ever since, the latest being the 1998 VTR1000F.
In 1962 this breakthrough advertising "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" shattered the myth that motorcycles were only for tough guys and rebels. It reached out and made Honda and motorcycling in general, appealing to everyone.
The C77 a 305cc version of the Dream and the CB77, a Super Sports motorcycle producing 28.5bhp were introduced in 1963.
In 1964 the C95 a 154cc version of the Benly and a 161cc version Of the CB160 was also offered.
The Hondells recorded "Little Honda" in 1964. Honda entered the American pop culture as the subject of this hit song.
In 1965 Honda, always eager for a new market, jumped into the big leagues with their first big, fast production motorcycle, the innovative 43bhp CB450 twin. This was a double overhead-camshaft machine with torsion bar valve springs that would do a genuine 104mph, a machine to challenge the 500cc-plus bikes.
Despite its performance, sales of the CB450 worldwide were Poor. A number of engineering changes were made, in 1967 a five-speed gearbox was added.
In 1967 Honda had their first big off-road win in the "first" Baja 1000.
In 1968 Honda stopped production of the CB72 and CB77 and produced a new line of high performance SOHC twins with five-speed gearboxes, called the CB250 and CB350, with the CB350 able to hit 106mph.
At the Tokyo Show of 1968 Honda, after months of tantalizing rumor, unveiled a landmark achievement that would change the motorcycling world forever. A 750cc bike with four cylinders and a disc brake that was so fast and powerful a new word, "superbike", was coined to describe it. The CB750F four was the biggest bike out of Japan, proving that a high-performance motorcycle could also be very reliable.
In April 1969 Honda set the motorcycle world on fire with the introduction of the CB750. Performance was staggering, easily hitting 120mph and at the time it had better acceleration than anything else on the road.
In 1969 the first Honda automobile sold in the U.S., leading Honda to become a preeminent automotive power.
