The '''[[Honda]] CL100''' was a 4 stroke single cylinder motorcycle sold by [[Honda|American Honda Co]] in the U.S. in the early seventies. The CL designation indicated this model to be the "Scrambler" version which implied some off-road capability. (This was before real dirt-bikes were gaining popularity.) It was really just a street bike with a higher rear fender, a braced handlebar, and a high-mount exhaust.

The CL100 was also available in a model designated CL100S, which had a governer to reduce power to 5 HP to meet some state restrictions for younger operators. In this configuration, top speed was about 50 mph.
