Honda CL450 Scrambler Motorcycle - Street (1967-1974)

The Honda CL450 Scrambler, produced from 1967 to 1974, was a versatile dual-sport motorcycle. Designed as an off-road-capable variant of the CB450 street bike, it quickly gained popularity. While the 1967 CL450K0 was initially a conversion kit for the CB450, official production began in 1968. It was powered by a robust 444 cc (or 445 cc) air-cooled, four-stroke, DOHC parallel-twin engine, featuring two valves per cylinder and producing approximately 43 horsepower. This engine platform provided reliable performance for both on-road and light off-road adventures. While the core 444 cc DOHC engine remained mechanically consistent throughout its production, a significant upgrade occurred in 1968 with the CL450K1, which introduced a 5-speed transmission, replacing the earlier 4-speed unit. Unlike its CB450 sibling, the CL450 retained dual drum brakes for off-road suitability. Most other changes across the model years were primarily cosmetic, involving updates to fuel tank designs, seat styling, and color schemes, with rubber-mounted handlebars eventually added to reduce vibration.
