1971 Honda CB175 Registration no. HYN 30K Frame no. CB175-5027320 Engine no. CB175E-5027479 Introduced in 1968, two years after the CD175 touring version, the Honda CB175 sports roadster superseded the old CB160 and came with a tubular spine frame, twin carburettors and a five-speed gearbox. Back in 1973 Bike magazine found theirs surprisingly capable for a lightweight: 'For tooling around town, the Honda's ideal transport; beats Minis away from the lights, easy to throw around in traffic and belts along open stretches with quite surprising speed. Outside the 30mph limit it cruises at a good 65, handles well and sometimes makes you wonder whether it's really worth having anything bigger after all.' Physically smaller and much lighter than Honda's contemporary 250, it must have seemed the ideal mount for lady riders and gents of small stature. Nothing is known of this CB175's History prior to its acquisition by the private vendor in July 2024. Transported on the back of his campervan, the Honda was used for holiday excursions to Europe. Used sparingly and dry stored since then, the machine is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate and an HPI report, and comes with one key. It should be noted that the HPI omits the 'CB175' prefix and records a colour change (from black to red) in October 2000.
