The Honda CL125 was a 4-stroke built by Honda between 1960 and 1974 as photos suggest[1] though 1967-1974 has often been used as the years of production. The CL designation indicated this model to be the "Scrambler" version which implied some off-road capability. (prior to actual dirt-bikes gaining popularity.) The CL series of bikes were actually street bikes with a higher rear fender, a braced handlebar, and a high-mount exhaust. The CL underwent a change from 2-cylinders to a single-cylinder model in 1970.
1967-1969
The CL125A Scrambler 125 was sold from 1967 through 1969. The fenders and exhaust system were chrome. Even tough it was designated a "scrambler," it was too heavy to serve any real off-road duty.

1973
The CL125S0 Scrambler changed for 1973 and became a single-cylinder model. The "125" side cover emblem was white with black numbers. Even though the model went from being a twin to being a single, weight still prevented it from being a serious off-road bike.
