HONDACB175 1969 - 1970

　　In 1970, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB175, a standard motorcycle in its second year of production, with a classic design and reliable performance best suited for riders who wanted a stylish machine without spending much money.

　　The Honda CB175 had its debut in 1969, but before then, Honda also released an earlier version of the CB175 that combined features from the 1965-1967 CB160 with the 1969 and later models of the CB175.

　　The 1970 machine packed a 174cc straight-twin engine coupled to a five-speed manual transmission and featured a 12-volt electrical system, a kick and electric starter, turn signals, and a tachometer.

　　In 1974, the CB175 was discontinued and replaced by the CB200 model, a similar model that was already in production. Although the 1960s and 1970s motorcycles were not technologically remarkable, they were the best seller of Honda's range at the time.

　　The 1970 Honda CB175 came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as a one-piece dual seat, a wide handlebar, a round headlight with a chromed ring, a black finished steel frame, a center stand, and wire-spoked wheels.

　　In the power department, the 1970 Honda CB175 had at its core a 174cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by two carburetors and delivered an output power of 20 hp with maximum strength at 11,000 rpm and 15 Nm (11 lb-ft) of torque available at 9,000 rpm.
