With the basic price of a street
Hodaka now at around 5450.00, it
would cost the competition enthusiast over $'100.00 to add the
above items to the stock Hodaka,
DOt to mention the time involved
installing. Steen has saved all the

As far as handling is concerned, it has to be one of the best in
the rough stuff snch as desert and
mota-cross. Many a time throughout our extensive test on this
little bike it was called upon to
take a torturous beating. At no
time in the test was there any of
the usually expected loosening of
some part of the bike, or any
cracking of metal, and not even a
throwu chain. Apart from the great .
handling and sturdiness of the rig
it's one of the best-looking competition bikes on the market. The
Metisse silver frame and blue and
chrome tank add up to a tastefully
set-up motorcycle. The Carlisle
tires are among the finest allaround competition tires on the
market. Tire locks are also in
evidence with no chance of ripping
out a stem on that iuner tube. The
standard 15-tooth countershaft
sprocket and 51-tooth overlay
drive sprocket seem to provide
sufficient gearing with the stock
5-speed transmission for desert
and moto-cross (to uame two).
Although the new four-plate
on the 100cc 1968 model Hodakas
is a vast improvement over last
year's three-plate model, it should
immediately be replaced with four
Barnett clutch plates. Seems that

The Filtron element ai r cleaner
is one of the bes t improvements
over the stock item, and real ly
does the job. After a race all it
takes is a little washing of the
element to put it back in new
shape again.
Front forks are the new and
improved baby Ceriani design that
afford better dampening than the
older units. The new units are
strong enough that a fork brace
would only be for decoration. With
a fantastic line of hop-up accessories available for the Hodaka
engine it makes the 100cc 5-speed
one of the bestinvestmen ts a small
bike racer can make.
The Steen Hodaka SS is available at Steen's Alhambra store at
1635 West Valley in Alhambra,
California. Also included in the
remarkable stock of racing and
fun equipment are the Rickman
Metisse frame ' kits and completed
hikes. It' s an experience jus t
walking through the store and
viewing some of the fines t racing
hardware in the country.
