My first bike was the CB100N in 1981. I put a full fairing on it as I rode for thousands miles when I came home on leave. The big fairing meant it would only do 60 into a headwind but a tail wind could make it fly (relatively speaking). Loved that bike.

I traded it for a Suzuki GS125 as it was new, black and looked cool (to an 18 year old).
