Topic: CB175 - Anyone Else Have One?

[LMAERO_396]

I have a chance to pick up a 1971 CB175 and curious if anyone else still rides one?

The CBs are a nice little fun bike,  on the other hand the RS175 will rip ya arms off and suck ya balls into the carb.

The photo below shows our his and hers 71 CL175s. I restored the blue one for the wife to ride on the street and built the red racer for myself last summer. Myself and a few others did a 400 mile trip around Mt. St. Helens on 175's and 160's last Sept. Most of our time was spent on paved national forest service roads. What a hoot!  The last 50 miles home was a stretch of freeway where we all maintained 60+mph. Good little bikes.

I had the first one in 1978, I rode thousands of miles on it when I was at university. It had Dunstall megas on it, which together with the 360 degree engine design, made it an awesome noise!

The second is in my barn right now, I've never ridden it, bought it on a whim.

My son has one to learn to ride on.

When you fang it and change up it goes "Pwfooongaaaa"..It's a lot of fun..

The 175's are still a blast to ride. I have a 71 SL 175 that gets out a lot. Of all the bikes I own it is my favorite.

I have a '72 CL175. I ride it occasionally. This summer a few of us with little enduro  bikes have several rides planned. It's a lot of fun when you ride in a group of little bikes. We will ride mostly dirt roads and some two track. This one runs like a clock. It is a low miles original.

        Whoa!  I didn't realize there were this many 175s here. Pretty cool though. Still and all, if you want to see some more and meet another 175 enthusiast, pop over to hondatwins.com and check out Steve (66sprint), he's been doing some modding of 175s and has some worth seeing.

I had no idea they were used in the GP200 class  , sounds like something I could get into! 

Alot of good looking bikes!

I hope to pick it up this weekend, just having a hard time finding the owner as this bike has been sitting for over 2 years out in the open On-Base.  Tags are expired and not sure about running the VIN number as it really isn't a VIN.  Hope to get more info Friday
