900 Miles – 1966 Honda CB160

In Japan, Standard by AbhiLeave a Comment

One of the truly iconic small-displacement Japanese bikes, the Honda CB160 is a small but well-built street bike.

The 161cc parallel twin engine produced 16 horsepower, which was good for a top speed of 68 miles per hour. It weighs just 290 pounds and was capable of a miserly 75 miles per gallon. Riders enjoyed this bike because Honda incorporated technology from bigger bikes like the tubular frame, single-overhead cam, and more. For $530, you’d get an engine that could hit 10,000 rpm, and a bike good enough to be called a baby Superhawk by Cycle World.

This specific Honda CB160 (VIN: CB1601038267) is original except for the tires and aftermarket exhaust. Though it has some scratches and surface rust, it looks pretty good considering it hasn’t been cleaned for a while (though who knows what that’s hiding). This would be a fun around-town bike.
