Honda CL70
Encyclopedia
The Honda CL70 Scrambler was a small motorcycle
with a 72cc 4-stroke engine, a pressed steel frame and a four-speed manual gearbox. It was built by Honda Motor Company between 1969 and 1973. It essentially replaced the Honda CL90. It was very similar to a CL50 with a larger engine. As a Scrambler
, it had a high-mount exhaust and a high rear fender. This allowed the look (though not really the capability) of extended off-road capability, before real Dual Sport motorcycles were available.
