Looks like a C100 with the old pushrod style Honda engine. Friend of mine used to have a Honda 55 when I was a kid. Same basic bike.

Those are cool old Hondas. I'd like to build one with a fresh chassis and drop a Pitster Pro 140 in it to carry on the bumper of the Motorhome
To me if you look past the ratty seat its not in all that bad shape

Actually it is a model C102 or CA102 from '62-'69. The C100 did not have electric start and this one in the photo's does. The engine or chassis serial number will identify which model it actually is in the prefix (i.e. C102 or CA102)

They were pretty rugged machines despite their appearance. Looks like most of it is there and the larger items it's missing, like the leg guards, can be found.

That looks like the bike I learned to ride on. It was my brothers bike and I think 65cc.
