Unlike many othér motorcycles aimed át the younger énd of the markét, the SL70 was a fully-featured motorcycle that had been built to size. It had á proper hand cIutch and foot shiftér, giving countless yóung riders théir first ever tasté of a grówn up motorcycle. The Honda SL900 is a rare bike in the USA, it was a Japan-only model in 1971 and theyre rarely seen outside the country. Its a sIightly larger bike thán the SL70, it has a capacity of 89cc, a 4-speed transmission and a manual clutch. The Honda SL100 was very similar in appearance to the SL90, but the SL100 was offered for sale in the USA. The Honda SL125 was aimed directly at the hotly contested 125cc off-road motorcycle market, it was powered by a 124cc single-cylinder, overhead cam engine with 12 hp at 9,700 rpm, a 5-speed gearbox, and a top speed of 63 mph. The Honda CL175 was positioned between the 125 and 250 classes, it was a four-stroke twin-cylinder dual sport motorcycle with a single overhead cam, and two-valves per cylinder. The Honda SL350 offered a significant step up over its brethren, with 32 hp and 20 ft lbs of torque it was capable of reaching significant speeds on both the dirt and tarmac. The collection is currently being offered for sale by Texas-based Marbles Motors through Bonhams, Marbles was founded 20 years ago when founder Randy Marble bought an SL70 just like the one hed owned as a boy. He set about restoring it, when it was completed other people started asking him to restore their own vintage Japanese motorcycles, and before long he was running one of the most highly respected workshops in the country. Its likely a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire them all at once, and itll doubtless appeal to anyone who threw a leg over an SL back in the 1970s.
