Honda XL175 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1973-1978)

The Honda XL175, produced from 1973 to 1978, was a popular lightweight dual-sport motorcycle known for its versatility on both street and trail. It consistently featured a reliable 173cc single-cylinder, OHC, air-cooled four-stroke engine paired with a 5-speed transmission and kick-start only. While traditional trims were not offered, the model received annual updates, primarily in color schemes and minor mechanical or electrical components.

Notable changes occurred during its production run, particularly in 1976. This year saw the deletion of the tachometer, a transition from a downswept to an upswept exhaust system, and a significant update to the electrical system, moving from DC to AC ignition. The fifth gear ratio and rear sprocket were also revised in 1976, with different fork seals introduced in 1977. These updates aimed to enhance performance and rider experience without altering the core engine displacement. FAQ:
