A STUNNING, LOW-MILEAGE, HIGHLY ORIGINAL HONDA CLASSIC! Feast your eyes on the class of 1971! This absolutely spectacular 1971 Honda CB175 Super Sport is one of the finest original examples you're likely to encounter. Showing just 3,861 original miles , this beautifully preserved Honda retains its original factory candy paint, original chrome, original exhaust system, original saddle, original wheels, and an extraordinary amount of its original factory equipment. This is not a fully restored motorcycle. It's something increasingly difficult to find: a remarkably well-preserved, low-mileage survivor that has received an extensive mechanical and cosmetic reconditioning while preserving its original character and authenticity. From the beautiful factory paint to the original dual exhaust system, the condition of this motorcycle speaks volumes about the care it has received throughout its life. Stored indoors and protected from the elements, this Honda has survived more than five decades in exceptional condition. And with an extensive professional reconditioning just completed by the team at Kaplan Cycles, it's ready to be enjoyed, displayed, and appreciated by its next caretaker. THE LEGENDARY HONDA CB175 SUPER SPORT Honda's small-displacement twin-cylinder motorcycles helped establish the company's reputation for engineering excellence, reliability, and performance during the golden era of Japanese motorcycling. The CB175 was a perfect example of Honda's racing-inspired engineering philosophy, delivering impressive performance from a compact, lightweight four-stroke parallel-twin engine. Features include: 174cc air-cooled, four-stroke parallel-twin engine Dual carburetors Five-speed manual transmission Factory dual exhaust system Electric start and kickstart Dual-leading-shoe front drum brake Spoke wheels with chrome rims Classic Honda factory candy paint Chrome fenders and original period styling Lightweight, nimble handling Classic high-revving Honda twin-cylinder performance These little Honda twins are an absolute blast to ride. They're lightweight, responsive, smooth-running, and surprisingly spirited for their displacement. The combination of the five-speed gearbox, dual carburetors, twin-cylinder engine, and dual exhaust delivers the unmistakable sound and character that made these machines so popular. ONLY 3,861 ORIGINAL MILES! The low mileage is remarkable, but what's even more impressive is how much of this motorcycle remains original. The original factory paint is still present on the fuel tank, side covers, headlight assembly, and fork covers. The original chrome remains in excellent condition, the saddle has survived beautifully, and the original exhaust system is still intact. Even the original control cables, handlebar levers, turn signals, and factory hardware have been preserved. Finding a 1971 Honda CB175 in this condition is becoming increasingly difficult. Many surviving examples have been neglected, modified, repainted, or completely restored. This motorcycle retains the character, factory finishes, and authenticity that serious vintage Honda enthusiasts appreciate. EXTENSIVE PROFESSIONAL RECONDITIONING – 44 HOURS OF SHOP LABOR PLUS PARTS! Although this Honda arrived at Kaplan Cycles in exceptional original condition, we wanted to make sure it looked and performed as well as possible. Our technicians performed a comprehensive mechanical service and cosmetic reconditioning, carefully disassembling, cleaning, servicing, and refinishing components throughout the motorcycle. This was far more extensive than a simple carburetor cleaning or tune-up. The fuel tank, carburetors, air boxes, front wheel, rear wheel, and numerous other components were removed to allow proper access for detailed servicing and reconditioning. The work required 44 hours of professional shop labor, plus parts , representing a substantial investment in preserving and preparing this outstanding motorcycle.
