Description

This 1972 Honda CL175 is distinguished by an impressive record of recognition from the Antique Motorcycle Club of America (AMCA), documenting the quality, authenticity and preservation of this vintage Honda. In 2021, the CL175 earned an AMCA Junior First Award at the Sunshine Chapter, followed that same year by the coveted AMCA Senior Award at the Chesapeake Chapter. Its success continued in 2022 when it returned to the Sunshine Chapter and received an AMCA Winners Circle Preservation Award, recognizing the continued preservation of a motorcycle that had already achieved high-level AMCA judging honors. These three awards provide exceptional provenance and make this CL175 far more than simply another surviving example of Honda's popular lightweight Scrambler. Adding considerably to its appeal, the motorcycle's Nippon Seiki odometer displays just 4,731 miles indicated, remarkably low mileage for a machine more than five decades old. Finished in period-correct red with Honda tank graphics, chrome fenders, wire wheels and the CL-series' signature high-mounted Scrambler exhaust, it retains the unmistakable character that helped make Honda's small-displacement twins so successful. Accompanied by its impressive AMCA award display documenting its Junior First, Senior and Winners Circle Preservation honors, this low-mileage 1972 Honda CL175 represents an unusual opportunity to acquire a highly recognized example with only 4,731 miles indicated and an outstanding record of AMCA judging achievement.
