The '''Honda CL450''' was a [[Four stroke|4-stroke]] 450cc [[street motorcycle]] built by [[Honda]] between 1967 and 1974. 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.
