I just picked up a 1973 Honda CL 175 Scrambler. Now don't get me wrong i love my Buell. Just wanted something to ride around town with.

Nice bike, my first road bike was a CB200Twin, looks just like that one you have.
I rode it everywhere! lol

Great little bike, and a blast to ride.
Looks to be in really nice shape for it's age too.

I would definitely add one to my fleet. : )

Those little buggers were tough as nails...just be sure to keep up with the camchain adjustment...I had a red CB model...wish I had it now...the other thing is use a battery tender, the charging system is pretty marginal...if the old selenium rectifier goes out, it can be replaced with just about any diode rectifier....one more thing...the "oil filter" is centrifugal, it will need from time to time to be pulled and cleaned out...can it possibly be 36 years since I worked on those bikes??? tempus fugit.

Beautiful! That will be a great little play bike. And it looks to be in fantastic shape!

Nice find!
I'm jealous.

Do yourself a favor.
Undo the center stand and keep it in the garage.
It weighs a ton and a half!

That's a gorgeous CL. . . I'm still keeping my eyes open for a CL77. You'll have a blast with it!

By the way . . . there seems to be a nasty virus hanging out on that imageshack page.

It set me back $350.00 with a clean title.

I had a '71 in blue, didn't know they had a green one. Great learner's bike and would handle city streets fine with that big 14HP mill!
