The CB175 was a standard motorcycle made by Honda from 1969 to 1973. The CB175 is remembered as “Cycle World’s” and others as the first motorcycle. Although the bike wasn’t technologically remarkable, the little Honda’s small twins of the 1960’s and 1970’s was amongst their best sellers. Other versions of the model were produced in the form of the dual sport scramblers, CL175 and the touring CD175 and CA175.
