Bugger - misunderstood that thread.

I thought I was FINALLY going to be able to buy my own bucket storeable retard.

Or that Honda had released a bucket I could live in. :spudwhat:

Or that a major motorcycle manufacturer had seen commercial opportunities from some of the 'tards that occasionally gambol willy nilly on this site...

equipped with the same air-cooled, 4-stroke, OHC single-cylinder engines that were made popular in the Ape and Ape 100
Ape?


They also come with the popular 5-speed return transmission that allows the rider to experience the fun of changing gears.
:niceone:


In addition to its powerful engine, the XR100 Motard also comes with pillion steps, seat band, and muffler protector, making it easy for two to ride at once.
Just slowly...


Approx. 0.35l locking document compartment inside left-side side protector
Just what I always needed...














Says he whose 'tard has a 45L top box on it... :confused:

Cool, though as a 100cc 4 stroke you could race it in the 50s, or supercharge it & race with the bigger class.

Actually with an XR designation there is the argument that it is not derived from a non competition based engine, but I don’t think anyone much would bother to argue the point.

I’m about to post a couple of wgtn dates soon.

The 57L tank capacity could be useful for those longer races :yeah:

pit bikes should cost less than the race bike, and be slower!!

Oh yeah & it’d need a 20mm carb to race with the 50s.
