The Honda CB175 was a standard motorcycle produced by Honda from 1969 to 1973. Introduced in 1969, the CB175 was one of three '175' models available from Honda, along with the CL Scrambler, CD Motorsport, and CB Supersport. A clever marketing strategy by Honda allowed them to sell the same motorcycle in three different variations.

The CB175 was a solid motorcycle platform. It was fast and reliable, had a low seat height, was lightweight, and had excellent suspension and brakes for its time.
