[[Honda]] CD 175 was a 174 [[cc]] [[motorcycle| bike]] introduced in [[USA]], [[Canada]], [[UK]], [[Africa]], [[Asia]], [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]] in [[1967]]. Main features of this [[motorcycle| bike]] included 360 degree [[Crankshaft|cranks]], a single ignition, single [[carburetor]] to cut down maintenance, odd styling, a [[parallel twin]] high [[revving]] [[engine]] and a [[speedometer]] that [[calibrated]] to 100 [[mph]] (160 [[km/h]]). | |||

Claimed Top speed was 80 [[mph]] (128 [[km/h]]) but with a light rider and no [[head wind]] it could go faster (people claim to have done 100 [[mph]] or 160 [[km/h]] which was the maximum calibration on the [[speedometer]]). The [[big end]] had rollers to ensure a smooth ride at high revs. There were several variations of this bike (namely K3, T, T4 etc)from [[1967]] to [[1979]]. | |||
This bike offered a relatively quicker ride compared to a cheaper cost (50 [[miles]] per [[gallon]]) but suffered from weak brakes (being only cable operated single shoe drum brakes) and was not “oil tight”. Also the 6 volt electric system made the lights quite innadequate at any speed over 30 mph on a dark night. In [[1979]] this model was replaced by Honda [[CD185]]. | |||
