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. They shared their engines with the equivalent years [[Honda CB175|CB175]] sport bikes & [[Honda CL175|CL175 ]]scramblers. There were 2 main versions of the bike - the CD175 & CD175A made from 1967-1969, and the later CD175 K3 & K4, (or T3 & T4, or A3 & A4, depending on the country of sale) from 1969 to 1979. In addition, in some countries the electric starter was deleted to reduce the price. | 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]]).
