1968 Honda CL

CL175-1015629

HERE IS A VERY RARE ONE OWNER "HONDA CL175 SCRAMBLER" IN UNBELIEVABLE, UNRESTORED, SURVIVAL CONDITION. THE BIKE WAS BOUGHT ON 9-26-68 FROM "NORM REEVES" IN PARAMONT CA. BACK WHEN ALL THEY SOLD WAS MOTORCYCLES. THIS 1968 IS THE FIRST AND ONLY YEAR FOR THE CL175 SCRAMBLER "SLOPPER". ITS CALLED A SLOPPER BECAUSE THE ENGINE CYLINDER ARE SLOPPED FORWARD AND THERE IS NO FRAME DOWN TUBE IN FRONT OF THE ENGINE. THE 69' MODEL AND ALL THAT FOLLOWED HAD THE ENGINE STAIGHT UP AND FRAME WITH THE DOWN TUBE. THE ORIGINAL CANDY ORANGE PAINT ON THE TANK AND SIDE COVERS ARE REALLY IN BEAUTIFUL UNRESTORED CONDITION. THE GAS TANK HAS NO DINGS AT ALL AND THE INSIDE IS VERY CLEAN WITH NO RUST OR COROSSION OF ANY KIND. SIDE COVERS TABS ARE SOLID, NO CRACKS OR WEAR AND PAINT IS SCRATCH FREE. THE BIKE STILL WEARS IT ORIGINAL TIRES, GRIPS AND SEAT COVER, GRIPS, LEVERS... PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING. EVEN ALL LIGHT BULBS ARE ORIGINAL "STANLEY" BULBS. ALL THE ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES HORN, H/L BEAM, TRN SIG. AND WARNING LIGHT WORKS FLAWLESSLY. ONCE THE FUEL AND CHOCK ARE TURNED ON, THE BIKE FOR THE MOST PART WILL START WITH ONE OR TWO KICKS, RUNS VERY WELL AND SETTELS DOWN TO A SMOOTH IDLE WITH NO SMOKE. CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT IS SMOOTH, EXCELLERATION IS GREAT AND SHIFTS THROUGH ITS 5 SPEED TRANS. VERY NICELY. I REALLY COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT THIS BIKE BUT IM SURE YOU ALREADY GET THE PICTURE. THIS BIKE TRULY IS AN UNRESTORED TIME CAPSULE. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANOTHER LIKE IT LET ALONE AN UNRESTORED EXAMPLE SUCH AS THIS. I REALLY DO HAT TO LET IT GO. THE BLACK LICENCE PLATE, TAGS AND FRAME ARE IN REMAKABLE CONDITION, EVEN THE FASTENERS AND WING NUTS ON THE FRAME ARE ORIGINAL. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL PINK SLIP AND SERVICE MANUAL. THE BUYER IS RESPONSABLE FOR SHIPPING AND LOCAL PICK-UP IS OK.
