Top speed was increased to 85 mph (136km/h) with better acceleration compared to 80 mph(128 km/h) of [[Honda CD175|CD175]].

With 20 bhp @ 10,500 rpm, and a slick 5 speed box. The K4 was soon to replace this without knee pads and different shaped side panels, which were also colored not left in 'the white'.

Faster than the [[Honda CB72|CB72]], but not the [[Honda CB250|CB250K0]] which was the quickest four stroke 250 produced until the [[Honda CBR250RR|CBR250RR]] some 30 years later!

This chassis was shared with the [[Honda CB125K|CB125K3]] model, but of course with a totally different engine sharing no common parts, and the CB125K3 had a very stylish rev-counter/speedo in one body let into the headlight in true 'Sixties style! This 175K3 had separate speedo and rev-counters mounted in the 1970's style, the first Honda other than the CB250 to do so.
