The '''Honda CL175''' was ceated as a replacement for Honda's ageing CL160 which dated back to 1966 and which had its origins in the CB160 of 1965. |
|||
The Honda CL175 was a "street scrambler" variant of what would become that firm's standard [[Honda CB175|CB175]] street bike. This was a strange reversal of Honda's usual practice of first |
|||
introducing the street-going version of most of their previous motorcycles. Two variants were introduced for the 1968 model year before the actual CB175 street bike was introduced for the 1969 model year as the CB175K3. |
|||
The first two 175 models to be released for the 1968 model year were entirely different in appearance, equipment and performance. The CA175 (known in some markets as the CD175) |
|||
was a commuter bike with fully valenced fenders, pressed steel frame, a single carburator and a four speed transmission. The other model was the CL175K0 with a tube style frame, twin carbs, high mount dual exhausts on the left side and a five-speed transmission. Both of these bikes used the "sloper" engine with the cylinders canted forward at a 15-degree angle. All later versions of this engine, no matter which model the engine was used in, had the cylinders set completely upright on the crankcase. The CL and CA were as far apart in intent and execution as it was possible to be. |
