Honda CL175 Scrambler Motorcycle - Street (1968-1973)

The Honda CL175 Scrambler, produced from 1968 to 1973, was a popular small twin scrambler known for its distinctive high-mounted exhaust and lightweight feel. All models featured a 174cc (advertised as 175cc) air-cooled, OHC parallel twin, 4-stroke, 2-cylinder engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. This engine delivered around 19-20 horsepower throughout its production run. The CL175 Scrambler underwent significant revisions. The initial 1968 CL175K0 model featured a "sloper" engine, where cylinders were inclined forward, and a tubular backbone frame. Instrumentation was basic, with a speedometer in the headlight nacelle and no tachometer, relying primarily on a kick starter. A major redesign occurred with the 1969/1970 CL175K3. This update introduced a semi-full-cradle frame and a virtually vertical engine orientation. Instrumentation improved with individual gauges, including a tachometer, mounted above the headlight. While electric starters were briefly removed, they were reintroduced from the K4 model (1970) onwards. Subsequent K4 through K7 models (1970-1973) largely retained these updated mechanicals, with changes primarily being cosmetic, such as color schemes and minor styling adjustments. Production ended in 1973, succeeded by the CL200. FAQ:
