The '''Honda CL175''' was a [[Four stroke|4-stroke]] 2-cylinder 175[[cc]] [[street motorcycle]] built by [[Honda]] between 1968 and 1973. The CL designation indicated this model to be the "Scrambler" version which implied some off-road capability. (prior to actual dirt-bikes gaining popularity.) The CL series of bikes were actually street bikes with a higher rear fender, a braced handlebar, and a high-mount exhaust. | |||

The GL175K1 Scrambler was sold from 1969 to 1970. It was similar to the CL175K3. Notice the short (one-person) seat and the enclosed chain surround. The headlight and speedo were enclosed in one unit (unlike the CL175 of the same vintage). The cylinders were vertical. The engine was a 174cc OHC parallel twin. The aggressive tires suggest more serious off-road use than the CL175. This model was not sold in USA or Canada. | The GL175K1 Scrambler was sold from 1969 to 1970. It was similar to the CL175K3.
