The Honda Motor Co. was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest producer of bikes in the world, going on to manufacture over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other powered products from cars to lawnmowers. Mr. Honda himself never liked two-strokes so whilst the other Japanese manufacturers concentrated on them, Honda stuck to producing only four-strokes until the mid-1970s. The CD175 was the workhorse of the Honda range in the ’70s and gave a lot of future riders their first taste of motorcycling, its solid and robust design standing up to the abuse dished out by many learners.


This little 1968 Honda CD175 was purchased by the late owner as a project to keep him busy, but due to too many other projects, he never got round to it. There are some parts missing, but it is mainly complete. It comes complete with a current V5C. Sold strictly as viewed and with no reserve.
