The '''Honda CB160 Sport''' was a 160[[cc]], inline-twin, [[Four stroke|4-stroke]], [[OHC]], [[street motorcycle]] manufactured by [[Honda]] from 1965 through 1967 and replaced by the [[Honda CB175]].
 
==Engine ==
The engine was an [[air cooled]] dual cylinders, four-stroke. A 50.0mm [[bore]] x 41.0mm [[stroke]] resulting in a [[displacement]] of just 162.7 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via twin carbs and shared a common choke control.  Two valves per cylinder operated by overhead camshaft (ohc) with tappets accessible through screw on covers to front of cylinder head, and points and condenser(Capacitor) under a cover at one end of the camshaft.. Ignition by one coil with a +ve lead to one plug and -ve to the other, circuit was completed via engine block and both plugs fired together.  (Lost spark system). At firing, one cylinder was approaching TDC on the compression stroke, while the other was approaching TDC at the end of its exhause stroke.  Both pistons moved in unison. Centrifugal oil filter, never required changing.  Easily cleaned by removing one side cover.  Electric starter driving through three ball bearings spring loaded to jam between starter ring and crankshaft ring, at engine start, balls were retracted by centrifugal force. A 12 volt lead-acid battery supplied power to lights and starter and was recharged via a crankshaft driven alternator.
 
==Drive==
The bike has a 4-speed transmission.  Final drive by chain to a QD (Quickly Detachable) rear wheel with rubber shock absorber built into wheel hub.
 
==Chassis==
It came with a 80/100-17 front [[tire]] and a 110/90-17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front (Twin leading shoe on 1966 models) and an expanding drum brake, optional combined braking system (cbs) in the rear. The front suspension was a  telescopic fork with friction adjust, while the rear was equipped with a three position monoshock. The CB Unicorn 160 was fitted with a 3.17 Gallon (12.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 297.62 pounds (135.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 52.13 inches (1324 mm) long.  A fairly comprehensive tool kit was located inside a tube behind and beneath the engine.

The tank, side covers, fenders, and fork legs were silver. The engine was a parallel twin with dual carburetors and linked to a 4-speed transmission. The serial number began CL160-1000001.

The Honda CB160 Sport was a 160cc, inline-twin, 4-stroke, OHC, street motorcycle manufactured by Honda from 1965 through 1967 and replaced by the Honda CB175.

Engine[edit | edit source]

The engine was an air cooled dual cylinders, four-stroke. A 50.0mm bore x 41.0mm stroke resulting in a displacement of just 162.7 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via twin carbs and shared a common choke control. Two valves per cylinder operated by overhead camshaft (ohc) with tappets accessible through screw on covers to front of cylinder head, and points and condenser(Capacitor) under a cover at one end of the camshaft.. Ignition by one coil with a +ve lead to one plug and -ve to the other, circuit was completed via engine block and both plugs fired together. (Lost spark system). At firing, one cylinder was approaching TDC on the compression stroke, while the other was approaching TDC at the end of its exhause stroke. Both pistons moved in unison. Centrifugal oil filter, never required changing. Easily cleaned by removing one side cover. Electric starter driving through three ball bearings spring loaded to jam between starter ring and crankshaft ring, at engine start, balls were retracted by centrifugal force. A 12 volt lead-acid battery supplied power to lights and starter and was recharged via a crankshaft driven alternator.

Drive[edit | edit source]

The bike has a 4-speed transmission. Final drive by chain to a QD (Quickly Detachable) rear wheel with rubber shock absorber built into wheel hub.

Chassis[edit | edit source]

It came with a 80/100-17 front tire and a 110/90-17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front (Twin leading shoe on 1966 models) and an expanding drum brake, optional combined braking system (cbs) in the rear. The front suspension was a telescopic fork with friction adjust, while the rear was equipped with a three position monoshock. The CB Unicorn 160 was fitted with a 3.17 Gallon (12.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 297.62 pounds (135.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 52.13 inches (1324 mm) long. A fairly comprehensive tool kit was located inside a tube behind and beneath the engine.


About[edit | edit source]

The tank, side covers, fenders, and fork legs were silver. The engine was a parallel twin with dual carburetors and linked to a 4-speed transmission. The serial number began CL160-1000001. This model with a skid plate and no electric starter was built only in 1966. Later models were actually dealer-installed CL kits on CB models.

The CB160 came in four available colors: Black with Silver, Scarlet Red with Silver, Blue with Silver, and White with Silver. The gas tank, frame, forks, and rear shocks were the basic color (black, red, blue, or white). The headlight and taillight were also the basic color. The fenders and side covers were silver. The seat was blue on the blue unit, but black on all the rest. The engine was a 161cc OHC parallel twin with dual carburetors. The transmission was a 4-speed. The serial number began CB160-1000001.
