Honda SL100

Honda SL100

Honda’s SL100 was a lightweight dirtbike that won a lot of fans in the early 70s for its easy handling and high-revving OHC four-stroke motor. Today an SL is a collectible item—especially for guys who were lucky enough to ride one in their youth—and you don’t see many given the custom treatment. This neat 1972 SL bobber looks a million dollars but incredibly it was built for the Dirtbag Challenge a ‘low rent chopper build off’ held every year in San Francisco. The Challenge costs 20 to enter and the rules are simple but strict: no Harleys don’t spend more than 1000 on your bike the bike must be rideable for several hours and you have a month to build your bike. Makes that SL even more impressive don’t you think? Dan of the Lilac Alley Speed Shop has catalogued the build on a blog here along with some great photography. [Via Chalopy.]
