The '''Honda CL50''' was a [[Four stroke|4-stroke]] 50cc [[street motorcycle]] built by [[Honda]] between 1967 and 1971. 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.

It appears that Honda phased out the '''CL50''' and [[Honda CL90]] in favor of the [[Honda CL70]]. Various state laws kept restricted licenses at under 5 brake horsepower which the '''CL70''' met with 4.9 bhp.
