Honda Scrambler Chart

This chart differentiates the many variations of Honda street scramblers built in The Sixties. A few models continued into The Seventies, but these types of motorcycles were mostly a Sixties phenomenon. Honda invented the concept for the American market with the first of its kind, the 250cc CL-72. The Sport 50 and the Sport 65 have been included because their styling concept is much the same, including upswept exhaust pipes, small gas tanks, and generally sporty styling. The information has been gathered from books, magazines, brochures, and websites. I realize that Honda made running changes throughout the production periods and that model years are not as important in some cases as the K designations.

These included the true, black models, as well as the blue, white, and red CB-160's dealer-converted into CL's. The final version of the CL-160 featured tanks and side covers in candy colors with black frames and other components.

The K0-K1 models were mostly identical to the CL-160D, except the 175's had black frames, headlamps, and forks with rubber gaiters; the fenders were chrome and the front one abbreviated from that of the 160; the side covers were body-color; and the seat had gold piping. (See the late-model CL-77 at the bottom of this page.) The 1969 K3 had several SL Motosport components, including Ceriani-type front suspension, high, painted fenders, and a similar gas tank design.

All CL-77's had 19" wheels, single-downtube frames, and kickstarters. None had turn signals. Some small number of the final production had a different look, featuring tanks and side covers in the body color with frames and all trim pieces painted black. The seat had gold piping around the upper seam. There is some question as to the time period in which these were built. The CL-350 was introduced in the Spring of '68, so these were probably late '67 and early '68 models. The look was very similar to that of the CL-160D and CL-175 of the same time frame. Only the CL-175 had both turn signals and electric starter. The CL-160D had an electric starter.
