The '''Honda CL70''' was a [[Four stroke|4-stroke]] [[street motorcycle]] built by [[Honda]] between 1969 and 1973. 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 '''CL70''' was essentially the same motorcycle as the [[Honda CL50]].
