Honda Motosport 175 Motorcycle - Street (1970-1972)

The Honda Motosport 175, specifically the SL175, was a popular trail-oriented motorcycle produced from 1970 to 1972. This model was powered by a robust 174cc OHC parallel-twin engine, known for its reliability and performance in the lightweight class. Sharing its engine architecture with the CB175, the SL175 offered a spirited ride, with similar engines rated around 20 bhp at 11,000 rpm. During its production run, the SL175 saw a notable mid-cycle update. The 1970 model, designated SL175K0, featured a chrome muffler heat shield with lateral slots, a specific gas tank and seat style, and a white "175" decal on the side cover. For 1971 and 1972, the model evolved into the SL175K1. This update brought a new muffler heat shield with round holes, revised gas tank and seat designs, and a chrome and white "SL175" emblem on the side cover. Despite these cosmetic and ergonomic changes, the core 174cc OHC parallel-twin engine and 5-speed transmission remained consistent across all K0 and K1 models, ensuring a familiar riding experience throughout the 1970-1972 period.
