The Honda CB175 was a standard motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range of motorcycles, manufactured from 1969 to 1973. The bike was powered by a straight-twin engine that featured a single overhead camshaft, two valves per cylinder, dual-side valve carburetors, and a dual exhaust system.

In 1969, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB175 model, which was in its first year of production, but the maker released an earlier version of the CB175 in 1968.

The 1968 model combined features of the 1965-1967 CB160 model with the 1969 and later CB175 models, but unlike the 1969 CB175, it used the engine as a part of the frame and a sharper forward slope to the cylinders.

The suspension of the CB175 was handled by a telescopic fork on the front and a dual shock absorber system on the rear and the braking performance was handled by a drum braking system both front and rear.

Also, the Honda CB175 came equipped with standard features, such as a one-piece dual seat, a wide handlebar, a round headlight with a chromed ring, a black finished steel frame, a center stand, and wire-spoked wheels.

As for power, the 1969 Honda CB175 took its muscles from a 174cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by two carburetors and delivered an output power of 20 hp with maximum strength at 11,000 rpm and 15 Nm (11 lb-ft) of torque available at 9,000 rpm.
