Testing tiny 100cc dual sport to the limit!

In this video I test the off road capabilities of my 1977 Honda XL100. One of the smallest dual sports Honda ever made.

My goal is to reach the site of an old plane crash near the top of of a very large mountain. The trail to get to the crash site will be tough and gnarly. In this video I will do my best to get this little bike to the top of the mountain and finally see the plane crash for myself.

July 1978, my dad came home with a 1975 XL 75 for my birthday, I drove the wheels right off that little bike, some of the best times I ever had!

As someone "considering" a Honda XR150L (as my FIRST ever bike, primarily for the farm), I found this video particularly useful. Thank you.

These bikes run forever. In '79 I bought a '75 XL 125 from a buddy of mine. He had sunk it in a river and had to flush out the engine. I rode it to work every day during the gas shortage and gas lines and was running premix from my Maico in it for a while. It just smoked and smelled like a 2-stroke. I sold the bike to another friend and he let his cousin use it and ride it on the freeway, past redline 50 miles one way to visit a friend. The bike was beat on from day one and never failed, just a great bike.

Small bikes are some of the most fun I’ve had while riding

My dad had us on dirt bikes at a young age, cant thank you enough dad.

By the time I was 9, my dad bought me a 1980 XR80, and seeing this video brings back the memories.

Around 1978/9 I had a Yamaha DT125. I used to ride it as my daily commuter and take it off road all the time. Living in Eastbourne, England the highest elevations were on the South Downs. It was a very capable little bike.
Next to my house was some open ground with dirt piles for jumping and in winter little streams for some dirty fun.
The bike took a lot of abuse and was a tough little machine.
Fast forward to 2007, now living in Northern California, I bought a 1978 Honda XL125 and a 1973 CB450. Loved them both.
Then, in 2022, aged 61, I suffered a pretty debilitating stroke. So I sold the bike thinking I'd never ride again. But slowly through walking and bicycling, I built my strength, stamina, and balance back up.
I decided I wasn't ready to give up just yet. I bought a new Honda Navi 110cc, an automatic cvt transmission that made it easy for riding and rehabilitation. I ride it around the foothill roads where I live but not off road.
This video makes me wish I hadn't sold the XL125. Maybe I'll look for another?

I worked for the Canadian Coast Guard for 7 years when I was living in Bamfield and I got to drive a tour group up to the top of Mt Ozard to see the radar antenna “globe” that you were headed to. That was almost 30 years ago and I’ve been meaning to ride my dr650 back up there ever since I bought it a few years ago. Thanks for the reminder. What an epic view !!! I live in Port Alberni now so the base of the hill is only an hour and a half away.

Little thumpers are a blast to ride, they are quiet and easy on sprockets and tires, and trails. I had a Honda TL200, a street legal trials bike and had the most fun ever riding foot paths around the city early Sunday mornings. If nobody seen me putting around, they would never know I had been there.

Brings back memories of the XL185. Good times!

One of my older bikes is a '73 Suzuki TC100. I don't beat on it for obvious reasons but it has a dual range transmission and it would be fun to ride those trails.

I was 9 yrs old when I 1st saw this, then I been dreaming of having one, ❤

[marklaramie]

Love it, just got rid of a pristine original 1977 XL75, now trying to get a garage kept 1982 XL 100

Back in 2003-2004 I used to work at the Victoria landfill as security when it was closed. It was up on a mountain similar to what’s in this video. I had full access to the place, with a security booth plus they provided a pickup truck to drive around the roads of the place. It was a huge place. Driving to the top of the mountain was always an adventure. They also had a MASSIVE recycling bin the size of a swimming pool, strictly for magazines and books. I used to look around in that and read allot, plus take many books to used book stores to sell for extra money😅

1972 my folks bought me an SL 125 that I rode EVERYWHERE. Cow trailing, modified it for MX duty and desert riding. It's never say die motor was an awesome little motor. Miss that bike.
