The '''Honda CB175''' was a 175[[cc]], [[Four stroke|4-stroke]], [[OHC]], [[street motorcycle]] manufactured by [[Honda]] from 1969 through 1975. It could reach a top speed of 81 mph (130 km/h). Claimed [[horsepower]] was 19.98 HP (14.9 KW) @ 11000 RPM. 
 
==History==
The '''CB175''' was a high revving engine producing 20 [[horsepower|bhp]] (15 kW), this was a beefier version of the [[Honda CD175|CD175]] but with twin [[Carburetor|carburetors]] and wilder [[cam|cams]]. This [[motorcycle|bike]] was made keeping single purpose in mind i.e. excess of fun and performance combined with excellent styling. Top speed was increased to 85 mph (136km/h) with better acceleration compared to 80 mph(128 km/h) of [[Honda CD175|CD175]]. But all of this came with a price as [[valves|exhaust valves]] gave in early and engine had a relatively shorter life. The '''CB175''' came equipped with a [[tachometer]], round stretched out turn indicators, flatter handle bars, [[Honda]] logo on fuel tank and an electric starter.
 
==Engine==
The engine was a [[air cooled]] air-cooled, four-stroke, twin cylinder, OHC, 2 valves per cylidner. A 50.8mm [[bore]] x 50.8mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 174.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a overhead cams (ohc). 
 
==Drive==
The bike has a 5-speed, manual transmission. 
 
==Chassis==
It came with a 2.75 - 18 front [[tire]] and a 3.00 - 18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a drum in the rear. The front suspension was a  telescopic fork while the rear was equipped with a dual shock absorbers. The CB 175 was fitted with a 2.64 Gallon (10.00 Liters) fuel tank.

Top speed was increased to 85 mph (136km/h) with better acceleration compared to 80 mph(128 km/h) of CD175. But all of this came with a price as exhaust valves gave in early and engine had a relatively shorter life. The CB175 came equipped with a tachometer, round stretched out turn indicators, flatter handle bars, Honda logo on fuel tank and an electric starter.

Engine

The engine was a air cooled air-cooled, four-stroke, twin cylinder, OHC, 2 valves per cylidner. A 50.8mm bore x 50.8mm stroke result in a displacement of just 174.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a overhead cams (ohc).
