Honda CB160 Sport Motorcycle - Street (1965-1969)

The Honda CB160 Sport, produced from 1965 to 1969, was a popular lightweight motorcycle renowned for its sporty performance and reliability. It featured a 161cc air-cooled, single overhead cam (SOHC) parallel-twin, four-stroke engine, consistently delivering 16.5 horsepower at 10,000 RPM. This engine, equipped with two Keihin 22mm carburetors and a 9.0:1 compression ratio, was known for its smooth operation and high-revving nature. The CB160 utilized a robust tubular steel frame, with the engine acting as a stressed member.

Throughout its production, the CB160 Sport was primarily offered as a single model, with variations mainly in color options such as red, blue, and white, often paired with silver fenders. While no significant mid-cycle generation or engine changes occurred, Honda did introduce related models on the same 160 platform, like the CL160 scrambler in 1966 and CB160/CL160D kit bikes in 1967. The core engine specifications remained consistent, and the model was eventually succeeded by the CB175 Super Sport. A general shift from JIS to ISO threaded parts began in 1967 across Honda models, but this was not a CB160 generation change.
