Mechanical details
Engine
This bike was built to handle both racing and harsh terrain riding. The engine was a 99cc single cylinder air-cooled system. The compression ratio was 9.4:1 and the bore and stroke were 2.1 inches by 1.8 inches. The whole configuration adds up to about a 6 hp output. This gave the bike a friendly power curve but also plenty of torque and power for the beginner or smaller sized rider.
Aesthetics
Debuting in race red, the bike color never changed. Since the bike debuted, the most notable difference between it and the standard XR100 is the use of the single coil-over adjustable Honda Pro-Link swing-arm suspension system instead of the older twin single coil-over shocks. The gas tank shifted from metal to plastic, design of the plastics changed slightly over the years.
