This classic is a barn-finders dream come true. My Aunt and Uncle bought two new CL-175 Honda's in 1972. She realized after riding this bike that summer that motorcycling wasn't her thing and asked my Uncle to store it. Being a farmer he rolled it into the barn and put it up on blocks, drained the tank and ran the carbs dry, drained the oil, put a baggie over the pipe, let the air out of the tires, and drained the battery. He then put a blanket over it and wrapped it tightly with 3 tarps. He rode his bike on occasion but eventually stored his as well. Fast forward to 1995 and my Uncle had passed away. My Aunt called my Dad and asked if he would please come get the bikes out of her way. He did... and in less than a year my Mom told him to call me and get them out of her garage. My nephew took one and I took the other. Long story short, I replaced the fluids, pumped up the tires, put battery fluid in, changed out the fuel lines that had become brittle with age, and she fired right up. I've taken care of it properly, always garaging and keeping it moving by starting it a few times a year and riding it around the block about once a year. The bike currently has 512 miles and everything is original except the battery (3 years ago) . The tires still have the nubs and show no weather cracks. It runs and rides like new. I know, because I remember riding it when it was new. It still carries the one and only license plate and registration. I have a clean title in hand. It a shame to part with it but my wife said it's time to get it out of the way. I can email additional pictures or a video of the bike running and riding. This bike should go to someone who can appreciate the history of the early Honda's and reminisce of when they had one just like it. You'll love this gem. Your wife,,,, maybe not so much. The bike and original paperwork is yours for $3500 (you pay shipping). The story is free.
