Introduced in 1969 the CB175 was one of three ‘175’ models available from Honda. The CL Scrambler, the CD Motorsport and the CB Supersport. Good savvy marketing from Honda allowed them to sell essentially the same motorcycle in three variants.
The CB175 was a pretty solid motorcycle platform. The motor was quick and dependable, the seat height was low (think entry level riders), it had full electrics (including starter and turn signals), 5 speed transmission, speedometer with trip meter, and tachometer.
The 1972 Honda CB175 used a 174 CC air cooled four stroke overhead cam parallel twin motor with twin carbs that made 20 HP linked to a 5 speed transmission that was capable of a top speed of 86 MPH, Chassis was light (265 LBS dry weight), suspension and brakes were rated adequate to good.
This particular 1972 Honda CB175 (VIN# cb1757007206) is in Colbert, Washington and is listed as a ‘one owner original with 8,607 miles. The bike presents itself well and looks to be very correct. This bike is currently bid at $112.50
